The verdict
Crowbush Cove is the course that put Prince Edward Island on the golf map. Opened in 1994 to a design by Tom McBroom, it was the island's first true links, routed through sandhills and around ponds on the Gulf of St. Lawrence near Morell. It earned national acclaim on opening and has remained the headline act of PEI golf ever since, a province owned course that anyone can play.
For the traveling golfer it is the cornerstone of an island trip. At par 72 and about 6,900 yards it asks for control in the wind off the gulf, with dunes, marsh and water framing the holes and a back nine that builds to a memorable seaside finish. Pair it with the resort courses at Brudenell and Dundarave for a classic three or four day PEI golf escape.

The holes worth the trip
McBroom moved sand to create genuine links ground, with holes weaving through dunes, along ponds and out toward the gulf. The exposed seaside stretch is where the course earns its reputation: the wind is rarely still, the carries over marsh and water demand commitment, and the dunes both frame the targets and swallow the loose shot. It looks and plays unlike anything else in Atlantic Canada.
From the back tees at about 6,900 yards and par 72 it is a stern but fair test, with the closing holes by the water delivering both the drama and the scorecard danger. The greens are firm and run true, and around them the short game is tested by closely mown hollows and run offs in the links manner. Pick the right tee for the day's wind and Crowbush rewards thoughtful, controlled golf.
As the flagship of Prince Edward Island golf, Crowbush anchors any island itinerary. Pair it with the resort layouts at Brudenell River and the modern Dundarave for a varied few days, all within an easy drive of Charlottetown.
