Courses in the Eastern Region:
Eastern Newfoundland winds its way from historic Cape Bonavista to the charming villages of the Burin Peninsula. Here the golf is sure to bring you in true contact with nature. It is a delightful stretch of small communities alive with the distinctive accents that characterize its Old World History. You can explore villages established during the expansion of the British migratory fishery in the 16th century and be entertained by the lilt of the language and the rich and colourful colloquialisms. The people, the language, and the beautiful surroundings are all part of the charm of a visit to this region of Newfoundland.
The towns of Bonavista and Trinity once rivalled St. John's as the fishing capital of North America. Today they rival any spot in the world with their simple beauty and honest friendly folk. From English architecture and narrow streets to wide open seascapes and whale watching trips, you will find many reasons to stay.
This is a land of sheltered coves, sandy beaches, and bright blue waters. A wonderful place for sailing, swimming, or strolling along the shore on a bright and sunny day. Eastern Newfoundland has a network of provincial parks. Drive the Discovery Trail. Hike a winding path. Spy a diving osprey. Terra Nova National Park has a full range of facilities and programs for all visitors.
Local museums and archives trace the development of the techniques and tools of the fishing trade. The hard realities of life underground are graphically displayed at the Miner's Museum in St. Lawerence. The Hiscock House, in Trinity, is a typical rural merchant's house circa 1910. The life of Jeremiah White revolved around the light in the Cape Bonavista Lighthouse, which he was the first to tend over 100 years ago. Tours of the lighthouse are highlighted by a demonstration of the fully-functional mechanism from 1843. Throughout this entire region, you will see signs of a different age. It's all part of the charm of Eastern Newfoundland.
