1-Day Golf Road Trip: Greater Moncton & Southeast

Morning

Base camp is Moncton, so an early tee time at Moncton Golf Club in Riverview makes a logical first stop. The course carries serious pedigree — designed by Stanley Thompson with contributions from Albert Murray and the Robinson family — and its par-70 parkland layout rewards precision over power. Aim for an 8:00 a.m. tee time to get around before the midday heat settles in. Riverview sits just across the river from downtown Moncton, so the drive is minimal.

Lunch & Afternoon

After the round, head northeast toward Golf Bouctouche in Cocagne, a Graham Cooke and Greg McCullough–designed par-72 parkland layout that plays differently enough from the morning's course to justify the road time. Grab a bite at the clubhouse before teeing off in early afternoon. The Cooke/McCullough design tends toward strategic bunkering and measured risk-reward, so take stock of the scorecard before the first tee. Those who'd rather not double up can use the afternoon for a range session back in Moncton or explore the city before dinner.

Evening

For dinner, Moncton delivers solid options. Catch 22 Lobster Bar is the call for straightforward East Coast seafood done well. Those who want something more gastropub in spirit should consider Tide & Boar Gastropub, which leans local and seasonal. Little Louis' Oyster Bar & Fine Cuisine suits a slower, finer-dining pace after a long day on the course.

For the night, Delta Hotels by Marriott Beausejour puts guests in the center of downtown Moncton — the on-site Windjammer restaurant is a convenient fallback if energy is low after 36 holes. Travelers looking for a quieter option outside the city center can book the Wild Rose Inn in Lakeville. Either way, Moncton is well-positioned for an early start the following morning should the road continue.
