Course Description
Clyde River Golf Club opened for business on June 15th 1991. Originally a 9-hole course, it expanded to an 18-hole layout in 1996. From there, we saw rapid growth as the go-to golf course in central Prince Edward Island. In 2007, we expanded again as the only 27-hole course on the Island. However, in 2017, management decided to scale back to the original 18-hole layout.Since then, we have began developing properties and diversifying ourselves as an organization. Golf has been and remains our priority. We provide a fun and cost-friendly environment for our customers and members and will continue to as long are we remain a company.For more information, visit our website. We would love to see you on the south shore in Clyde River.
