On an attractive property near the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Dr. Michael Hurdzan & Dana Fry’s Dundarave was known as being overly difficult, with a large surplus of bunkers and heavy costal winds. Thankfully, bunkers have been filled in, and the remaining red sand bunkers continue to intimidate.
Aside from the difficulty, the golf holes themselves are pleasant. The routing takes the golfer out to the Brudenell River for the par 3, 5th, signature 8th, and demanding 9th, then oddly turns inland. Regardless, the gambling par 4, 16th is among the better short holes in the Maritimes.
Based in Toronto, but having lived in Alberta, British Columbia, Montana, Arizona, and Texas, I have been lucky enough to see over 400 golf courses and counting!
