Blomidon Golf & Country Club
About this course
Blomidon Golf & Country Club sits in Corner Brook on Newfoundland's west coast, where the city occupies a dramatic setting at the mouth of the Humber River surrounded by the Long Range Mountains. The course was designed by Canadian architect Graham Cooke, who has built numerous layouts across Atlantic Canada and is known for working with challenging terrain and creating courses that fit naturally into their landscapes. The routing takes advantage of the region's distinctive topography, with elevation changes and views that reflect Corner Brook's position in one of Newfoundland's most scenic areas. The course plays through a mix of forested and open terrain typical of the island's boreal landscape, where golfers encounter the kind of variable conditions—wind, weather shifts, and firm ground—that characterize golf in this part of Atlantic Canada. Blomidon serves as the primary private club for Corner Brook, a city of roughly 20,000 that functions as the main urban center for western Newfoundland. The club provides year-round facilities in a region where the golf season is compressed but intensely enjoyed, and where the membership reflects the close-knit character of smaller Canadian communities. The course offers a full test of golf in a setting that captures both the ruggedness and natural beauty of Newfoundland's west coast, far removed from the more traveled golf destinations of mainland Canada.

Getting there
Most travelers bound for Blomidon Golf & Country Club arrive via Deer Lake Regional Airport, a compact gateway roughly forty minutes north of Corner Brook that handles daily connections from Halifax, St. John's, and seasonal direct service from select eastern hubs. The drive south traces the Viking Trail corridor before turning inland toward the Bay of Islands, where the landscape shifts from coastal barrens to the forested river valleys of western Newfoundland. Corner Brook itself clings to the hillsides above the Humber Arm, and Blomidon sits tucked into the high ground overlooking the city - a serene perch where the North Atlantic's influence is felt in every breeze, yet the course remains sheltered within its own quiet fold of boreal terrain.
