Do it once but after that you’ll likely be like me and say thanks but no thanks.
NOVA GOLF COURSES PRO
Pro shop staff seemed uninspired and low on motivation but the staff on beverage carts and in the restaurant were fabulous. It would be very discouraging if I were a local homeowner and this was my home course. It is a s pectacular destination for weekend getaways, meetings, events, weddings or simply a night away.
I’m not sure who this course was designed for but it’s not the amateur golfer. Terra Nova Golf Resort is more than just a beautiful, award-winning golf course. Top it all off with 8-10 false front greens. After that it’s the rough and tumble trees and underbrush of Nova Scotia so be prepared to say good bye to at least 2 sleeves of balls. Where the trouble comes in is the narrow fairways and challenging bumps and slopes which often push everything to the woods. The course is visually appealing and each hole is it’s own. Speed of the greens is great and consistent. Most tee boxes are a mess and greens are hard making it difficult to stop the ball in most cases. I, at a 9 handicap, felt 6500+ would be long with the usual wind and threat of danger. White for example, are 5970 yards and jump to 6500+ for Blues. To start, there is a large variance from one set of tees to the next. This is a nice but extremely difficult golf course to the point of unfair for most golfers. As I said, hopefully the place will be gorgeous when finished, but expect to see dirt, rocks, debris and heavy equipment for now. You can also see the position of the carts ahead of you on blind par 4s and 5s.Īll in all, a nice course, though I'd only make it a "regular" player due to my proximity to Timberlea. GPS is provided in the power carts which is nice. This is a very unforgiving course and, as such, I wouldn't recommend it for high handicappers. I'll be curious to see what the facilities and surrounding area look like when all the construction, debris, and grounds are finished. As things stand at the time of writing (May 2018) the grounds and surrounding area are really, really rough and under development. The area is under active construction / development, yes, but that shouldn't really affect my rating of the course which is tough and beautiful.Ī well-maintained and TOUGH course. The course and practice facilities are consistently in fantastic shape. The Oliva Nova development is composed of villas and apartments as well as an 18 hole golf course designed by Severiano Ballesteros. This seaside course that criss-crosses two salmon rivers, has been often referred to as "Canada's Pebble Beach.EDIT: Been back a few times now to play and to practice. It was also ranked by Golf Digest as one of the top ten courses in Atlantic Canada in 2002. The Twin Rivers Golf Course has been given the rank of Platinum by the Canadian Golf Course Ranking Magazine, Score Magazine for the past three years, ranking the course as one of the top 30 courses in Canada and one of the top six in Atlantic Canada. began operating the Twin Rivers course and named the hotel and golf course property as the Terra Nova Park Lodge & Golf Course, renamed Terra Nova Golf Resort in 2001. Robbie Robinson designed the original nine holes, while Doug Carrick designed the second nine-holes, which opened in July 1991.
