Fox Harb'r Golf Resort & Spa, Golf resort in Fox Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada
Fox Harb'r Golf Resort & Spa is a golf resort in Fox Harbour, Nova Scotia, on a 1,100-acre property opened in 2000. Its 250-acre, par-72 course was designed by Graham Cooke and follows the Northumberland Strait. The resort also has a spa, marina, hunting lodge, winery and a 4,885-foot private airstrip.
The resort opened in 2000, founded by Ron Joyce, co-founder of Tim Hortons, who turned a large stretch of Nova Scotia coastline into a golf destination. It was one of the most significant private investments in golf infrastructure the region had seen.
The resort's name comes from Fox Harbour, the community on Nova Scotia's Northumberland Strait where it sits. Ron Joyce, co-founder of Tim Hortons, named the access road Amazing Grace Boulevard. The property also has a winery, and remnants of a lobster-processing plant from its previous use can be seen from the back-nine holes.
The resort sits in Fox Harbour on the Northumberland Strait and is reached by road or by its 4,885-foot (1,489-metre) private air strip, which Ron Joyce named Amazing Grace Boulevard. The course covers 250 acres of the 1,100-acre property, so allow time to move between the clubhouse, spa, marina and lodge.
Tiger Woods shot a course-record 63 at Fox Harb'r during a private event in 2009. The back-nine holes look out on the remains of a lobster-processing plant that stood on the property before the course was built.
