3-Day Golf Road Trip: Greater Moncton & Southeast

This three-day loop through Greater Moncton and southeastern New Brunswick suits mid-handicap golfers who want variety across parkland layouts without covering excessive ground — most course pairs sit within 30 to 60 minutes of one another, with Moncton serving as a practical home base throughout. The region mixes historic design pedigree with quieter rural tracks, keeping the pace relaxed and the driving minimal.

Day 1

Fly or drive into Moncton and get settled before afternoon. For the opening round, head to Moncton Golf Club in Riverview, a par-70 parkland course with a design lineage that includes Stanley Thompson, Albert Murray, and C. E. Robbie Robinson — one of the more historically layered layouts in the province. A midmorning tee time leaves enough runway to walk 18 without rushing. The course sits just across the Petitcodiac River from downtown, so the commute is short.

For the night, Delta Hotels by Marriott Beausejour puts guests in the center of Moncton's dining district. Dinner at Windjammer – Delta Hotels by Marriott Beauséjour keeps things easy if legs are tired from travel, or walk a few blocks to Tide & Boar Gastropub for a more casual gastropub meal.

Day 2

Day two pushes southeast toward the Bouctouche and Kent County corridor. Start with a morning tee time at Golf Bouctouche in Cocagne, an 18-hole par-72 parkland design by Graham Cooke and Greg McCullough. The course plays through varied terrain and the dual-designer credential produces a layout with some strategic texture worth paying attention to on approach shots.

After lunch, those with energy for more golf can continue to St. Ignace Golf Club in Saint-Louis de Kent — a Geoffrey Cornish-designed par-72 just a short drive away in the same general corridor. Cornish's routing tends toward a classic, uncluttered style, and the rural setting keeps the pace of play manageable. A late-afternoon tee time works here if the morning round finished on schedule.

Return to Moncton for the night. Crowne Plaza Moncton Downtown is another solid downtown base. For dinner, Little Louis' Oyster Bar & Fine Cuisine is the area's well-regarded fine-dining option, or The Pump House Brewery & Restaurant offers local craft beer alongside a full kitchen.

Day 3

The final day heads inland and south before departure. An early tee time at Memramcook Valley Golf Club in Memramcook offers a par-72 parkland round in a valley setting roughly 20 minutes southeast of Moncton — a low-key finish that doesn't demand a long pre-round drive. From there, golfers heading toward Petitcodiac can add Petitcodiac Valley Golf & CC, a par-71 parkland track that rounds out the week nicely if an afternoon round fits the departure schedule.

Travelers opting for a later flight can squeeze in lunch back in Moncton — Catch 22 Lobster Bar and Gusto Italian Grill & Bar are both practical options near the city center before heading to the airport. Those staying an extra night can consider Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Moncton or the budget-friendly Quality Inn Moncton as a final overnight.
