Golfing Getaway
Tee Off in Destination Nackawic’s Scenic Golf Getaway
Destination Nackawic offers two stunning courses—Nackawic Golf & Country Club and Mactaquac Golf Course—each with unique challenges and charm. Perfect for pros and beginners alike, they’re close enough to play both in one weekend. Pack your clubs for fresh air, rolling greens, and unforgettable fairway views!
Nackawic Golf & Country Club
Just 30 minutes from Mactaquac, this tree-lined course on Route 105 dazzles with pristine fairways (even in early spring!) and double tee boxes for 9 or 18-hole play. Favored by walkers for its scenic paths and "tight fairways, smallish greens," it’s a local’s best-kept secret.
Why Golfers Love It:
- Easygoing vibe: Often walkable without advance booking
- On-site dining: Refuel with Maritime comfort food at the clubhouse
- Nearby stays: Unwind at Big Axe Brewery B&B (5 mins away) with craft beer and river views
"A super value—always in great shape!" – Club Member
Pair It: Combine with Mactaquac’s 18-hole challenge for the ultimate Destination Nackawic golf weekend.
Mactaquac Golf Course
Nestled in Mactaquac Provincial Park, this 7,030-yard course carves through New Brunswick’s forests, offering spacious fairways, tough pin placements, and thrilling wildlife sightings (deer, eagles, foxes—even ducks!). Warm up at the driving range, fuel up at the beverage cart, and tackle what locals call "a brute of a course."
Plan Your Visit:
- Book ahead: Secure tee times & carts early
- Dine post-game: Cozy up at Mactaquac Lodge & Dining Room
- Stay & explore: Camp under the stars in the park or unwind at nearby River Valley Escape (Hawkshaw) or Crabbe Mountain Inn (Hainesville).
"We seldom walk this brute!" – Avid Golfer
The Mactaquac Golf Course is challenging. It contains spacious fairways and long holes that end on huge greens with very tough pin placements. We seldom walk this brute!
