Fox Harb'r Golf Resort & Spa is a golf-focused resort in Fox Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. The Шаблон:Convert property was owned by Canadian businessman Ron Joyce (co-founder of Tim Hortons) and opened in 2000. The course was designed by Graham Cooke and has a par of 72. In addition to the course, the resort has a spa, marina, hunting lodge, winery, and private air strip.

History

Joyce acquired the 1,100 acres of ocean-front for the property in 1987,[1] and opened it in 2000.[2] The remnants of a lobster-processing plant from the property's previous use are visible from the back-nine holes of the course. The resort was originally envisioned to be a gated community centred on the golf course. Houses or townhouses would be privately owned and occupied by either permanent or seasonal residents, but the resort eventually evolved into a combination of "private club and public golf".[1]

Golf course

The golf course is Шаблон:Convert and was designed by Graham Cooke; in 2001 Golf Digest awarded it Best New Canadian Course,[2] and in 2009 listed it as the number fifteen in their top-twenty golf courses in Canada.[3] The 7,205-yard, par 72[4] course follows the coast of the Northumberland Strait of the Atlantic Ocean.

In 2010, the course saw approximately 7,000 rounds of golf played. At a private event in 2009 Tiger Woods shot the course record, a 63.[2]

Facilities

The Fox Harb'r Resort includes a spa and conference centre. It is accessed by the road that was dubbed 'Amazing Grace Boulevard' by Ron Joyce, or the Шаблон:Convert private air strip.[1][2] While serving as Canadian ambassador to the United States, Frank McKenna used the Fox Harb'r facilities for an annual summer event (known as the Frank McKenna Networking Event[5]) he organized to bring together business-people from around the Maritime Provinces.[6] The resort also has a deepwater marina and a lodge for game bird hunting[2]
