Prince Edward Island, Canada

Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island is the most underrated public-golf trip in North America. Tucked into the Maritimes, the island packs Crowbush Cove (Tom McBroom's links masterwork on the Gulf of St. Lawrence), Dundarave (sandstone bunkers, Hurdzan-Fry), Brudenell River, and a handful of top-100-Canada courses into a 4-day drive trip. Public access, walkable greens fees, fresh seafood and lobster suppers off the course, and a pace of life that makes Cabot Cape Breton feel hurried. If you love links golf and have done Bandon and Cabot, PEI is the obvious next move — at a fraction of the price.

Best time to visit: June – September
