Northumberland Links

Northumberland Links runs along Gulf Shore Road outside Pugwash, on the Northumberland Strait coast of Nova Scotia. It opened as a nine-hole course in 1964 and was rebuilt as an eighteen-hole par 72 by Bill Robinson in 1988, measuring about 6,313 yards from the white tees, which rate 71.2 against a slope of 130. The blue tees rate 72.5 and 132. Most of the round sits within sight of the strait, and the rolling fairways, prevailing wind and fast greens defend par more than the yardage does.
