Golf
was first played on the original site at Northumberland in 1964
after four local golf enthusiasts raised the funds to establish
a nine hole country club. In 1985, the Provincial Government of
Nova Scotia purchased the 540 acre property and renovated the course
to the 18 hole championship layout, only the most discerning golfer
would be able to distinguish the old holes from the new which are
interwoven along the Gulf Shore Road. In 1992, two short years after
the expansion, Northumberland played host to the Nova Scotia Amateur
Golf Championships.
Due to the village of Pugwash's connection with Scottish descendants,
the holes on the original nine were all given Gaelic names. Consequently,
these names were retained for the original holes that have been
incorporated into the new layout. Take notice of the name given
to hole number five "Grim Reaper", named for the historic
cemetery that sits adjacent to it.
In 2001 ownership of the course was passed from the Provincial Government
back to the members. |
