Now in its sixth season, Osprey Ridge Golf & Country Club in Bridgewater is shaping up to be a first class, high caliber facility that rivals some of the country's best. Their fine new clubhouse has rounded out the club's full experience. This makes Osprey Ridge an excellent spot for corporate tournaments. Course Manager Jamie Brown says this year "we will be offering special prices for group functions" Their regular prices are excellent with Green Fees of $46.00 ($28.75 after 3). Call (902) 543-6666 and get in a round at this blossoming track.

Moving down the 103 an hour and a half from Halifax, the Liverpool/White Point course is one of the few remaining full length 9 hole layouts left in the Province. Immaculately maintained for the locals and the guests of White Point Beach Resort (where's it's always a great day !), the Liverpool G&CC offers many challenges amid the wonderful ocean views. There is more water vistas in the future here as well, now that they have purchased a couple of parcels of land and have brought in renowned architect Graham Cooke to design the second 9. Course Pro Dave Kempshed says they are down to a couple of designs being study by a committee. If the necessary funds are found, look for an awesome complete 18 here by 2002. In the meantime Kempshed comments, "nothing much has changed since the course opened in 1930". And why mess with perfection ! A truly wonderful nine, worth playing twice. Green Fees for Resort guests are $32.00 for 18. Non guests pay $35.00. Toll free tee-offs @ 1-800-565-5068.

As we head down towards the end of the Lighthouse Route, drop by West Pubnico for a delightful stroll in the wilderness, complete with dear, rabbits, robins and other wildlife roaming the grounds. The babbling brooks that criss cross the course don't come in to play too often and even with the massive increase in golf interest in the area, West Pubnico is relatively crowd free. This year they show off their brand new Clubhouse, which was christened with a New Year's Eve dance! The weather in this part of the Province tends to provide for a lot less cloud cover, so the course opens early and is often sunny when much of the region isn't. Drop down and be pleasantly surprised, especially with the rates. Green fees are $31.05 weekends / $28.75 weekdays , with the tax. (902) 762 - 2007.

Our next feature will focus on the fine facilities available in the Halifax/Dartmouth Metro area, such as Grandview, Granite Springs, Hartlen Point, Glen Arbour and more.
