Amherst Golf Club - Amherst, Nova Scotia
The 18 hole course combines the natural beauty of the Maritimes with a challenging open course. It boasts fast greens and very lush fairways which can be found in immaculate condition.
The Amherst Golf Club is an open course that affords many beautiful views, but offers little protection from the high winds that sometimes whistle across the marsh from the Northumberland Strait. Hole #1, also the #1 handicap hole, is a 568 yard double dog-leg par 5 which plays to a very narrow fairway with trees on both sides. It's aptly named "Eye-Opener". The conservative player hits an iron off the tee. A long drive to the left will find a steep embankment and to the right, trees, tall grass and bushes. The fairway opens up after the second shot and plays down a slight incline to a bunkered green. The 15th, "Cat Tails", plays 155 yards over a pond. The fairway slopes sharply to the left in front of the narrow very difficult green. Two bunkers to the right of the green make this a tough par 3. The 18th, "Home-Coming", a 515 yard par 5 double dog-leg requires well positioned tee and approach shots. A delightful pond featuring an active fountain, is located 50 yards in front of a small, undulating green that makes this an unforgettable finishing hole. Click HERE to visit the official website
