Belfast Highland Greens
About this course
Belfast Highland Greens occupies rolling farmland in central Prince Edward Island, approximately fifteen kilometers west of Charlottetown. Graham Cooke designed the course in the early 1990s during a period when the province was expanding its golf offerings beyond the established Brudenell River and Mill River layouts. The property sits inland from the island's signature red-sand coastline, where the terrain consists of open fields, modest elevation changes, and stands of mixed hardwood and conifer that frame several holes. The routing takes advantage of the natural contours, with fairways that move across gentle slopes and greens positioned to incorporate the existing topography. Cooke, a Canadian architect who worked primarily in the Maritimes and Ontario, favored straightforward strategic design that rewarded accurate approach play without excessive length demands. The course measures around 6,400 yards from the back tees, suitable for recreational players and visitors exploring the island's golf trail. Belfast Highland Greens operates as a semi-private facility, welcoming both members and daily-fee players throughout the season, which typically runs from May through October. The clubhouse provides standard amenities and dining in a casual atmosphere reflective of the island's hospitality traditions. The course serves as a complement to Prince Edward Island's better-known resort courses, offering a quieter alternative for those seeking a relaxed round in an agricultural landscape characteristic of the province's interior.

Getting there
The journey to Belfast Highland Greens begins at Charlottetown Airport, a compact regional hub just twenty minutes west along the Trans-Canada Highway, though many visitors arrive via the seasonal direct flights from Toronto or Halifax. The drive from Charlottetown traces the gentle contours of Prince Edward Island's pastoral interior - red clay roads branching off between potato fields and weathered barns - before reaching the quiet hamlet of Belfast on the island's south-central shore. This is golf at the edge of Maritime simplicity, where the final turn off Route 1 delivers you to a course that feels less discovered than quietly shared, its links-inspired terrain rolling toward the Northumberland Strait with an unassuming grace that defines the Island way.
