A seaside jewel! For over 100 years, golfers have traveled to this charming seaside spot to test their skills, yet golf has changed and so has The Fairmont Algonquin Golf Course. Redesigned in 2000 by the renowned Thomas McBroom, the course will delight and challenge golfers of every level. The layout, which takes full advantage of its location on the shores of Passamaquoddy Bay, is full of surprises and beautiful scenery. Especially breathtaking is the oceanfront sequence of holes on the back nine. Golf has always been a priority here, and our 2000 design just furthers the legend. As part of the redevelopment, a clubhouse was constructed offering a spectacular view of the bay. The Clubhouse Grill offers an exciting menu including specialized theme nights and many maritime favorites.
The Algonquin Golf Course has hosted golfers for over 100 years. Constructed in 1894, the course boasts one of Canada's oldest clubhouses. The original course was built to suit the times and could easily accommodate 30 to 40 golfers accustomed to small tees and less landmass. For a membership fee of five dollars, golfers could use the links and the clubhouse throughout the season. Members' guests were accorded club privileges on payment of 50 cents per day. In the 1920s, the course was renovated based on plans by legendary golf course designer Donald Ross. These upgrades included the creation of The Executive Nine, an additional nine holes that provided a less taxing alternative to a full round of golf. The course remained basically the same until the 1980s, when it was expanded to accommodate more traffic. In order to continue its tradition of golfing excellence, The Fairmont Algonquin broke ground for the development of a completely new signature course in 1998. The new 7000 yard, par 71 course, complete with spectacular ocean views from most holes opened for play in mid-summer 2000.
