Prince Edward Island is known far and wide as being a world-class golf destination. With 405 fairways that range from descending hills with picturesque coastal views to forested corridors hugged by sparkling lakes, it is easy to understand what attracts the pros and amateur golfers alike. We’ve rounded up the top reasons that make PEI a golfer’s paradise.

1. Why play a course when you can play an entire Island?

There are 28 golf courses on Prince Edward Island, giving us the most courses per capita in Canada! So many courses, so little time!

World class architects such as Stanley Thompson, Thomas McBroom, Les Furber, Michael Hurdzan, Dana Fry and Graham Cook are responsible for designing many of the Island’s world-renowned courses.  Each has its own unique design and flair.

7. Fun for the whole family.

Any non-golfers in your group? Each course is surrounded by plenty of activities for those who don’t swing the sticks. Relax at Lakeside beach near the Links at Crowbush Cove, check out the home of Anne Shirley which neighbours Green Gables Golf Course, or explore the provincial park around the Brudenell River and Dundarave golf courses.
