Northumberland Links

Northumberland Links is a championship links course located on Nova Scotia's north shore, bordering the Northumberland Strait. The Par 72 layout stretches 6,600 yards from the back tees and is shaped by natural coastal elements carved over thousands of years. The course features firm, undulating terrain with challenging slopes and hollows, complemented by wispy fescue lining fairways. Green complexes are sophisticated, incorporating roll-off surrounds, demanding bunkers, grass mounds, and strategically designed greens that reward precise play. The constantly changing wind conditions require thoughtful club selection, creating a dynamic links golfing experience. The course embraces the natural contours of the land, with the landscape serving as both aesthetic backdrop and playing challenge. Northumberland Links has established itself as a favorite among Atlantic Canadian golfers and was ranked 26th among Canada's top 59 public courses by SCOREGolf in 2025, significantly improving from its 2023 ranking.
