Golf Travel Guide 2011 - Nova Scotia

Digby Pines Golf Resort and Spa
Significant upgrades over the past number of 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 two 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 2,500 square foot AVEDA concept
spa adds to the total experience at Digby Pines.
Even after 80 years, the Stanley Thomspon masterpiece continues to give
golfers a truly “classic” experience.
