ABOUT
River Oaks
Established in 1986, beautiful, scenic River Oaks is one of Nova Scotia's most picturesque golf destinations. River Oaks is a 27-hole full service facility for the green fee player, with accommodations and golf packages available on site. It includes an established 18 hole course and a newer (2001) regulation 9 hole South course.
The 18-hole course layout features balanced front and back nines, including two par 3's, six par 4's and one par 5. River Oaks South is located across from the 18-hole course with a regulation 9-hole layout. The rolling hills and scenic terrain provide a challenge to any golfer. The South course plays as a par 36, ranging from 2,543 yards (front tees) to 3,113 yards (back tees), giving the players a variety to play 18 holes. River Oaks welcomes golfers of all levels, and offers challenges for everyone.
River Oaks features complete facilities, including a putting green, club and cart rentals, a pro shop and a licensed dining room. Special weekend packages are available, and River Oaks has expanded to include a lodge for overnight stays, with Stay and Play packages available. The club house, meanwhile, offers locker rooms and spacious comfort with a natural pine interior. A wrap around deck outside sports a panoramic view of the lush East Coast countryside.
