Recognized by Golf Digest as Canada's Best New Course in 1994. Overlooking the north shore dunes of PEI, Crowbush continues to enthrall all those that take the challenge to conquer one of North America's very best. How can it get better than a Golf Digest five star rating? Undulating fairways, water holes with a wisp of wind, pot bunkers and challenging greens all come together to provide you with an experience not to be forgotten. Truly an unbelievable combination of nature and imagination. Of all the courses that are considered a "must play", Crowbush is certainly one of them. If you can tame the 6,903 yards at the Links, you should be able to play well anywhere. Rated four and a half stars by Golf Digest Places to Play, which raves, "Outstanding, plan your next vacation around it".

This a beautiful well kept course with a unique design of 6 par 3, 6 par 4' and 6 par 5,s Number 2 is a extreme long par 4 (450yds) up hill. It will take a massive drive and a well placed second shot to hit the hill surrounded green in regulations. The canteen is set up so you pass by it 3 times during your 18 hole round. Watch out for the crows, they are very smart and can easily end up with your lunch or bag of chips..

Had not played this course in a couple of years and this was like retuning to see an old friend. Great course in great shape. Fairways are like walking on carpet. Greens are large and receive the ball well. The green speed is quick and the hidden contours make putting here a great challenge. One of Atlantic Canada's best tracks!! Highly recommend.

The four eastern Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador have recently opened their borders to tourists from these provinces in what is known as The Atlantic Bubble. My wife and I took the opportunity to travel to PEI from Nova Scotia for a mini golf vacation, starting with Mill River on the western part of the island. It turned out to be a great decision. Mill River is located a few miles north of the small town of O’Leary in the westernmost part of the island. The reason I call it an ‘almost hidden gem’ is that while the quality of this course is well known, its location is well away from the cluster of courses around Cavendish, Charlottetown or the east end of PEI. Thus it is often overlooked when golfers plan an itinerary for a golf vacation on this island known for its great golf. It was opened in 1971 from a design by prolific Canadian golf architect Robbie Robinson who learned his trade from Canada’s most famous golf architect, Stanley Thompson. In the 1990’s Graham Cooke made changes to six holes. It has played host to the Golf Channel’s Big Break PEI and is closely associated with PEI native Lori Kane who won four times on the LPGA. Prior to today’s game I had only played the course once and that was before the Graham Cooke alterations. My memories of the course were still vivid after forty years and I had been planning to return for many a year. The first post Covid thing I noticed was that only three people at a time were allowed in the pro shop which is small to begin with. The staff remain behind the newly installed plexiglass which is becoming standard everywhere in every business. I wish I had shares in a plexiglass maker. We shared a power cart which had the option of dropping down a heavy plastic divider between driver and passenger, but since we share a bed, we figured we could share a golf cart without this necessity. Also, Covid has meant the removal of ball washers from the tee boxes. I’m glad I don’t own shares in whoever makes those. Mill River has five sets of tee boxes and plays 6840 yards from the tips and as short as 5282 from the women’s tees. I opted to play the seniors at just under 6,000 yards. Unfortunately the weather was not very cooperative with periods of drizzle interspersed with just gray skies. Not great for photos. There was next to no wind. We had the second tee time of the day and followed a foursome that kindly let us play through on the third hole. Our total game time was well under four hours. Mill River is a parkland course the fairways are lined by mature trees, both hardwoods and softwoods, that give it a very pleasant easy on the eyes appearance. What makes Mill River so memorable are a number of things including the undulations in the greens which are in excellent condition. You really need to know how to read breaks well and figure out the right pace to score on them. That being said and no doubt aided by the damp conditions, the greens were not punishingly fast. If they were, given their design they would be a nightmare, so not cutting them as short as possible makes for a very fair challenge – if you get the read and the pace right. It turns out that a combination of a mild winter and very few rounds being played because of Covid has meant that the courses in PEI are in the best condition they have ever been. That is a definite silver lining and a compelling reason to come to the island to play. I have included photos of a number of holes that in my opinion are exceptional. These include the first hole that is one of many severe doglegs on this course. The fifth hole which is a lofty par three over water. The seventh hole that has a creek running right down the middle to create dual fairways. The 13th hole that is a world class par five with water in play on the third shot. The fourteenth which is a great risk/reward par four. And the eighteenth which is a terrific finishing hole. Mill River should be on every Atlantic Canadian golfers must play list and once the rest of the country opens up, on all Canadian's list.

A few years ago, I first reviewed this small 3 par golf course. Not much has changed in the 3 years. Anyone camping at Twin Shores will find this place close and convenient for both a 9 hole course or for a game of mini putt. The week were camping, we got out golfing here 4 times and enjoyed it. This place is not the top notch perfectly manicured golf course that can be found on larger courses. But for a par 3 course, this is perfect for a quick game of golf with younger family members who are learning the game of golf. For the avid golfer, all you need is your 9 iron and putter. For my daughter, she also used a 7, and had a great time. Definitely will be back again next year.
