Significant upgrades over the past 5
years have allowed the course to keep pace with newer courses while maintaining
the golf experience that Stanley
intended. The parkland setting, through an evergreen forest, is complemented
by the course’s circular layout which brings
the prevailing wind into place at almost every conceivable angle. The course
is characterized by a winding brook that has been dammed to create two
outstanding par 3 holes - one of which is the signature #2 hole. The
par 5, #7 hole, is a winding, dipping adventure, rated as one of the
most difficult
holes in Canada.
Don’t let the 6284 yards from the back tees fool
you. With the narrow landing areas, mounded bunkers, small greens and
prevailing winds, Digby Pines plays much longer. The 2 additional tee locations
on each hole allow for friendlier play for those who don’t hit the
ball far. Digby Pines Golf Resort and Spa is an elegant and historic property,
dating back to the late 1920s. With its 4 star rating, it is one of Atlantic
Canada’s premier destinations. The addition of a 2500 square foot AVEDA
concept spa in 2005 adds to the total experience at Digby Pines. Even after
75 years, the Stanley Thomspon masterpiece continues to give golfer’s
a truly “classic” experience.
