Dundarave is a championship-caliber Hurdzan/Fry design where every shot matters. Opened in 1999, this course showcases the island's distinctive red sandstone through 120 intricately designed bunkers that command respect and admiration in equal measure. The layout weaves through mature pine forests and along the tranquil Brudenell River, creating a naturally beautiful setting that feels untouched. Wide, accommodating fairways give you room to swing, but greens demand precision—they're large and undulating, with bunkers lurking menacingly around them. The 8th hole alone—a downhill dogleg par-4 with a tidal marsh and 10 bunkers in play—is considered one of Canada's most visually stunning holes. You'll play river holes on the front nine, but it's the back nine's journey through pristine woodland that truly captures what makes Dundarave special: a relentless test where the course's natural beauty never distracts from the challenge. Groups will love the varied difficulty depending on tee selection; from the back tees it bites hard, but play forward and the course rewards good shots without humbling mediocre ones.
