The Inside Swing

Golf in Prince Edward Island: Complete Guide

Prince Edward Island is Canada's golf island — a compact province where Thomas McBroom's Links at Crowbush Cove (Canada's top-ranked public course), multiple championship layouts, and the province's dramatic red sandstone coastline combine for a golf experience unlike anywhere else in the country.

Overview

PEI offers a concentrated golf experience in a small, manageable geography. The Links at Crowbush Cove is the jewel, and Thomas McBroom's Dundarave at Brudenell River adds championship depth. The provincial Golf Trail connects courses across the red soil island with packages that make multi-course visits both easy and exceptional value. Golf combines naturally with PEI's spectacular seafood, beaches, and the bucolic Anne of Green Gables landscape.
