Few golf clubs in Atlantic Canada carry the quiet authority of Chester Golf Club. Founded in the early 20th century, it stands as one of Nova Scotia's older layouts, shaped by the unhurried rhythms of a village that has long attracted summer visitors drawn to the South Shore's famously mild sailing weather and granite-edged coastline. Chester itself is one of the province's most storied resort communities, and the golf club fits naturally into that genteel, unhurried character.
The South Shore landscape does the heavy lifting here. The terrain along this stretch of Nova Scotia is glacially sculpted — rocky outcroppings, mature hardwoods, and glimpses of Mahone Bay work their way into the round in ways no scorecard can capture. A par 70 suggests a layout that rewards precision and course management over raw power, and the relatively compact design keeps the game intimate and honest.
Chester Golf Club plays like the town feels: unpretentious but quietly proud, with enough variety and natural beauty to bring you back season after season.
