The Course
Although this short (2343yd) nine hole course may, at first glance, appear rather easy, it can be a challenge, especially the par 3's. A perfect example is #7. Not only is the green not fully visible from the tee, the yardage is long (209) , the green slopes sharply away from front to back, and there is an old apple tree growing right in the green. Should your ball roll off the back, you are down a 5 ft bank among more apple trees. Parring this hole is a real accomplishment!

                     

The Scenery
The scenery is absolutely fantastic! It has been acclaimed by many as " the most scenic in Canada" The view from the front deck ( as well as from most of the course) gives a panoramic scan across the Minas Basin with the Noel and Walton shores to one's left,then the mouth of the Avon River, the Medford shore and the town of Wolfville; then a perfect view of Cape Blomidon all the way to Cape Split. Looking to the right, (west) you can see Partridge Island, historic Ottawa House,finishing with the entrance to Parrsboro Harbour. Add to that, the rise and fall of the highest tides in the world, and occasionally some fog, the picture may change even from hour to hour.
Also clearly visible, is the Minas channel, the planned site for the world's first "in the water" tidal power project.

Clubhouse

The clubhouse, built in 2000 , replaced the the cozy, quaint but inefficient old farmhouse which served well from the club's beginnings in the 1930's. It was built, largely with volunteer labour on the exact site as the old, and takes full advantage of the magnificent view. The main area will comfortably seat 70  and has been the scene of receptions, weddings,dances and other events. The club welcomes all enquiries re the use of this fine facility. Our menu emphasizes tasty, light fare (nothing deep fried) ,premium coffee,ideally suited to busy golfers and guests. We are, of course, fully licensed.

Parrsboro Open

The highlight of the season is the Parrsboro Open, held in mid Sept since its inception in 1980. Many of the pros and amateurs have returned year afer year, not only for the keen competition, but the informal hospitality, which usually includesa "jam" session, a dance, clambake, steak bbq and tasty breakfasts.
