Gage Golf and Curling Club
Known locally as “The Gage”, the Gage Golf and Curling Club has an 18-hole golf course in Oromocto. Situated 20 minutes outside of Fredericton city limits, this course is well-maintained, decently intricate without being punishing, and one of the most affordable courses in the area.
Pro Tips: Power cart seats are free after 2pm meaning you can play 18 with a cart for a total of $52.50, part of their twilight fee.
Members of the Canadian Armed Forces golf at a special rate of $41.66.
Riverbend Golf Club
Riverbend is a long 18-hole course that winds along the Naashwaak River, which feeds into the Wolastoq (Saint John River). Riverbend is fairly open with decently sloped and intricate greens making approach forgiving, but the short game challenging.
Pro Tip: For the months of June, July and August, golfers can play 18 holes for $32, $6 off the regular green fee, when golfing between Monday and Wednesday.
Carman Creek
Carman Creek is a fun, educational and surprisingly challenging 9-hole course consisting of par threes and fours. The second half of the course introduces tricky water placements that force a tight approach game. It’s a fantastic place to bring junior players, new players, or larger groups looking for a relaxing, fun time.
Pro Tips: Golfers under 18 pay $16.52 for nine holes, (regular price $24.35).
On Wednesdays from 11am until 3pm, two players can golf 9 holes and get a warm-up bucket of balls (to be used at the Carman Creek range) for $33.04, a $62 value!
Kingswood
A staple of the Fredericton Capital Region golf scene, Kingswood Golf is a 27-hole facility and one of New Brunswick’s most recognized 18-hole signature golf courses. Among many accolades, their 9-hole executive course was rated “Top Short Course for 2006” by US Golf Magazine. The course presents wide open fairways, and is friendly to beginners and experts alike. Stop into the lodge for a delicious meal at Sam Snead’s after your round, or check out the additional onsite activities, like Kingswood Entertainment and Bowling!
