Mactaquac Golf Course

Mactaquac Golf Course, carved into the rolling landscape of Bright Parish, New Brunswick, offers a distinct brand of Canadian golf, owing much to the dam that birthed its existence. This modern marvel, opened in 1968, unfurls across terrain shaped by the Mactaquac Dam's creation of a vast headpond, lending water features a significant presence on several holes. Its open fairways invite aggressive play, while strategic bunkering around the greens demands a deft touch to score well. Designed by the renowned Canadian architect C.E. "Robbie" Robinson, Mactaquac has become a mainstay of the province’s golfing landscape. While it may not boast international renown, its accessibility and playability have fostered a loyal following among local players who appreciate its relaxed atmosphere and scenic views of the Saint John River. The course proudly claims a connection to the province’s history. The clubhouse, a welcoming space with a decidedly unpretentious feel, is known for its simple yet hearty fare that reflects the region's culinary traditions. The regulars, many of whom have played the course for decades, have their own unique anecdotes to share about the course and surrounding area.
