Golf Course

The View Golf Resort Golf Course has frequently been called the most scenic and challenging nine-hole course in Newfoundland. If you've already visited, you'll likely agree. If you haven't visited yet, come and see for yourself.

Course Layout

Our course is a 9-hole par 34 executive style course with a playing time of approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. It measures 2250 yards from the blue tees and 1920 yards from the red tees. Although it might seem short at first, the course design and strategically placed hazards makes it a challenging course for experienced golfers but not too intimidating for novice players. Because our tee-times are booked further apart, golfers find their rounds to be much more relaxed as they are not being rushed along by the next group.

Hole #1 - Par 4
Yards from Centre of Tee Deck to:	Blue Tee	Red Tee
Start of Landing Area	128	98
Start of Fairway Bunker	202	170
Start of Dogleg	229	200
Center of Green	303	272
This hole has a medium dogleg to the right, with sand traps near the corner and around the back and side of the green.  Try to drive deep into the open landing area but stay just short of the bunker near the dogleg. From there you are one or two easy shots to the green. For a birdie opportunity take a chance and go straight for the corner. If you don’t go out of bounds, you will have an easy pitch onto the green

Hole #2 - Par 3
Yards from Centre of Tee Deck to:	Blue Tee	Red Tee
Start of Landing Area	90	66
Start of Fairway Bunker	97	72
Center of Green	121	97
This hole is short and the pin is very visible, but there is water, shrubbery, and sand traps in the way. Try to put all those distractions behind you and shot for the green anyhow. Keep in mind that this hole has a shallow green and not much backing so sticking the ball on the green is a bit tricky. If you know how to apply backspin to the ball, now might be a good time.

Hole #3 - Par 4
Yards from Centre of Tee Deck to:	Blue Tee	Red Tee
Start of Fairway Rough	113	50
Start of Landing Area	175	112
Start of Fairway Bunker	207	145
Center of Green	243	180
This seems like a straightforward drive with a bit of sand in front of the green. However, invisible from the blue tees and painfully visible from the red tees, is a very large area of shrubbery that eliminates a lot of the suitable landing area. Drive just short of the sandtraps or try to reach this fairly large green. Be careful, drive too long and you’ll be in the sand or drive too short and you’ll be in the shrubs.

Hole #4 - Par 5
Yards from Centre of Tee Deck to:	Blue Tee	Red Tee
Start of Landing Area	180	167
Start of Pond	243	230
Center of Green	416	402
This is a long straight fairway, but it is very narrow. Nearly halfway down the fairway there is a large pond that covers most of the fairway but leaves a strip along the left side. Lay up just short of the pond or play to the very left-hand side. From there you are two or three decent shots from the green. The last stretch of fairway as slightly banked from right to left so it is a good idea to stay to the right as you approach. If your approach shot is a long one consider the safe play of getting closer to the green but not risking a shot that might land in the deep sand traps. Then an easy chip could set up a one-putt. This green is very long and narrow with deep bunkers along the left side and rear so be careful.

Hole #5 - Par 4
Yards from Centre of Tee Deck to:	Blue Tee	Red Tee
Start of Landing Area	138	123
Start of Fairway Bunker	265	250
Center of Green	297	283
This hole has a medium dogleg to the right, with sand traps near the corner and around the back and side of the green. Try to drive deep into the open landing area but stay just short of the bunker near the dogleg. From there you are one or two easy shots to the green. For a birdie opportunity take a chance and go straight for the corner. If you don’t go out of bounds, you will have an easy pitch onto the green.

Hole #6 - Par 3
Yards from Centre of Tee Deck to:	Blue Tee	Red Tee
Start of Ravine	118	60
Start of Fairway Bunker	159	100
Center of Green	186	129
Although short in distance, this is a very tricky hole.  There is a fairly steep valley between the tees and the green with a small ravine in the bottom of it. The far slope of the valley is quite steep and directly in front of the green is a very large sand trap. The green is slightly shallow and there is very little backing, so place the ball carefully when you drive for the green. Again, if you know how to apply backspin, this might be a good time to use it.

Hole #7 - Par 3
Yards from Centre of Tee Deck to:	Blue Tee	Red Tee
Start of Landing Area	137	100
Start of Left Fairway Bunker	151	113
Center of Green	156	118
Start of Rear Fairway Bunker	177	140
Both tee decks are up in the hillside so they are elevated above the very large green. There are bunkers along the left side and rear of the green. Remember to adjust your shot to account for the fact that you are starting so far above the green and therefore your ball will travel further and be more susceptible to breezes.

Hole #8 - Par 4
Yards from Centre of Tee Deck to:	Blue Tee	Red Tee
Start of First Fairway Bunker	214	192
Start of Second Fairway Bunker	247	225
Center of Green	252	230
Although you can not see the flag from the tee, you can drive this one straight down the uphill and rolling fairway. Actually, you can see a distant birch tree that is just on the right side of the green, so aim slightly left of that tree. Also, don’t drive all the way to the sand traps, which are in two locations in front of the green. Be careful of the deep bunker along the front of the green. Also be very careful playing along the left edge of the green or you will have a very tough chip to get back up onto the green.

Hole #9 - Par 4
Yards from Centre of Tee Deck to:	Blue Tee	Red Tee
Center of Green	276	207
Start of Fairway Bunker	314	184
This is a straight and pretty wide-open fairway with no traps between the tees and green. However it is sloped uphill, so you won’t get as much bounce or roll as you are used to. Also, to drive for the green you should stay as close as possible to the big birch trees on the left border of the fairway as there is a slight dogleg left. There is a big sand trap on the back of the green and berms along both sides but it’s a straightforward green, as long as you aren’t distracted by the amazing ocean view!
