Stanhope Golf & Country Club sits along the north shore of Prince Edward Island, approximately twenty-five kilometers north of Charlottetown near the island's renowned national park coastline. Designed by Canadian architect C. E. "Robbie" Robinson and opened in the 1970s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the island's central coastal region, where farmland transitions into wooded areas and the landscape bears the gentle undulations shaped by glacial activity and maritime weathering. Robinson, who designed several courses across the Maritime provinces during the mid-twentieth century, routed Stanhope to take advantage of the property's natural elevation changes and tree cover. The layout moves through corridors of spruce and hardwood, with fairways that follow the land's contours rather than impose dramatic earthwork. Greens are typically modest in size and defended by bunkers that reflect the straightforward design sensibilities of the era, emphasizing accurate approach play over visual intimidation. The course serves a membership drawn largely from the Charlottetown area and seasonal residents, functioning as a traditional member club with a relaxed island atmosphere. Its location near Stanhope Beach and the Dalvay area places it within Prince Edward Island's summer tourism corridor, though it maintains a quieter profile compared to the province's championship layouts. The clubhouse offers standard amenities and dining in keeping with the club's community-oriented character, providing a comfortable base for daily play throughout the season.
