Grand Falls Golf Club:
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. |
