History

In 1905 construction began on the paper
mill and town of Grand Falls. The Anglo-Newfoundland Development
Company, as part of the development, cleared land for farming at the
intersection of the Exploits River and Rushy Pond Brook. In 1924 some
local enthusiasts started a golf course with six holes on the site of
the former farm. It shortly became a nine hole facility and remained so
until 2004 when nine holes on the opposite side of Rushy Pond Brook were
officially opened.
The original nine is generally flat and open with small greens. The new
nine has much tighter fairways bounded by the forest on both sides and
the greens are large.
The prevailing southwesterly winds can play havoc with approach shots.
The course presents four par 5s, 9 par 4s and five par 3s with white
tees and red tees.
