Golf Overview
Digby has been blessed with one of Canada's finest golf courses designed by Stanley Thompson, the famous Canadian architect who was responsible for such world class courses as Banff Springs, Jasper Park and the Highlands Links in Cape Breton.
The challenging 18 hole championship layout winds it way through picturesque pine trees and over a winding brook which widens into ponds on holes 2 and 16. The true beauty of Nova Scotia has been captured and retained for our golfing pleasure.

Golf Courses
The Pines Resort Golf Course
Architect: Stanley ThompsonDescription:
When golf writers across Canada were asked to select two of the most picturesque and challenging golf holes in the country, the par 3 second hole was one of their choices. This often photographed hole has been the scene of many thousands of golf balls splashing in
the pond and lots of frustrated golfers.
The Toronto Star once ranked our number 7 hole thirteenth in a selection of Canada's toughest eighteen, noting that few golfers ever make par. Back in 1968 our club pro, Nick Nickerson, the current pro, Bill Nickerson's father, confessed to a 14 on this hole. Until recently this was a par 6 for ladies however it is now 75 yards shorter and they can play to the same par as the men. So enjoy this piece of golfers heaven and smell the pine needles as you experience a course of which we are very proud.
