In the words of there website - Recognized by Golf Digest as Canadas Best New Course in 1994. Overlooking the north shore dunes of PEI, Crowbush continues to enthrall all those that take the challenge to conquer one of North America’s very best. How can it get better than a Golf Digest five star rating? Undulating fairways, water holes with a wisp of wind, pot bunkers and challenging greens all come together to provide you with an experience not to be forgotten. Truly an unbelievable combination of nature and imagination.

Of all the courses that are considered a "must play", Crowbush is certainly one of them. If you can tame the 6,903 yards at the Links, you should be able to play well anywhere.

Rated four and a half stars by Golf Digest Places to Play, which raves, "Outstanding, plan your next vacation around it". SCORE Golf Magazine rated Crowbush in the Top 2 Best Value Golf Courses in Canada.

The Links at Crowbush Cove is situated around the dunes on the north shore of PEI and is located at the Rodd Crowbush Golf & Beach Resort on Route 350, off Route #2 near Morell. It is approximately a 30 minute drive to Charlottetown.

In the words of there website - Glen Abbey Golf Club is one of Canada’s premiere daily fee courses, that will be remembered for years as the site of "The Shot of 2000" - Tiger Woods’ 218-yard 6-iron from a fairway bunker on the 18th hole to set up the birdie that clinched the Canadian Open and the Triple Crown. (Tiger’s Triple included his victories in the 2000 U.S., British and Canadian Opens.) Canada’s No. 8 ranked golf course is open to anyone wishing to retrace Tiger’s historic steps and challenge Jack Nicklaus’ first solo design.

Opened in 1976, Glen Abbey is held in high esteem by Tour players for its difficulty - 7,112 yards, Slope 140 from the Black tees - but it is surprisingly
accommodating from the shorter tees. You can freewheel with the driver on its receptive fairways, but the greens are devilishly undulating and protected by steep bunkers. Nine-minute tee-time intervals help keep play moving along, and the maintenance is immaculate.

Glen Abbey is in Oakville, Ontario, just west of Toronto.

Glen Abbey is also home to The ClubLink Academy along with a spectacular clubhouse facility including the Gallery Bistro & Grill and a variety of
beautiful banquet, meeting and seminar rooms
