White Point Golf Club

Set on a low, wind-exposed headland at Hunts Point on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, White Point Golf Club is a compact seaside course tied physically and operationally to White Point Beach Resort. The course is nine holes (played from alternate tees for 18) and is open to members and resort guests as well as daily-fee play. Yardages from the longest tees total roughly 2,951 yards for nine (5,902 for an 18-hole round), and the men’s card is par 35 (women’s 36). The holes occupy a peninsula of rock and scrub that pushes into the Atlantic; the routing repeatedly meets the shoreline, most notably at the long one-shot 4th and the par-5 6th. The club maintains a small pro-shop and leagues but no full driving range; practice is largely limited to the putting green and short-game areas. Seasonally, golf operates alongside the resort’s beach and cottages, so the atmosphere is relaxed and walkable rather than tournament-oriented. Local rules acknowledge the realities of a compact coastal property—power lines affecting play on the 8th/17th and 9th/18th and rock outcrops in fairway height turf—conditions that are part of this site’s character. For visitors today, White Point is an accessible, informal Ross-era layout whose primary appeal is the repeated proximity of golf to surf and wind.
