Highland Links - Ingonish, Nova ScotiaThis course was built, by hand, in the late 1930's. Creator, Stanley Thompson, saw glimpses of Scotland in the terrain he built the Links on. Every hole has a Scottish name in homage to that. The rolling hills of the fairways are flawlessly built in the land, almost as if they were meant to be there. The combination of a Scottish feel and mountain golf makes for an excellent challenge. The Atlantic coast is never far too with 11 holes touching the coastline.

Club de golf Des Lles- L‘Etang-du-Nord, QuebecThis simple 9 hole course offers an easy, relaxing day of golf. After two days of championship level golf, this course provides a nice change of pace. Established in 1967, the fairways are truly stunning. It is the only course on the Magdalen Islands. Many golfers decide to pass on a round of golf at L'Etang for other excursions on the island.
