7-Day Golf Road Trip: Greater Moncton & Southeast

Greater Moncton and southeastern New Brunswick offer a compact but diverse roster of parkland courses spread across river valleys, small towns, and the city core. The seven-day loop moves out from Moncton, traces the Petitcodiac and Memramcook valleys, swings northeast toward the Northumberland Shore, and circles back through Riverview and Hillsborough before a final city round. All courses are drivable from Moncton-based accommodation, making it possible to base out of the city for the full week or shift lodging mid-trip. The region's dining scene, anchored in downtown Moncton, adds a strong off-course draw each evening.

Day 1

Arrive in Moncton and settle in at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Beausejour in the city centre. An afternoon round at Lakeside Golf & Country Club — an 18-hole, par-70 parkland layout in Moncton with design credentials from Denny Powers and Graham Cooke — makes a fine warm-up. The course is close enough to the hotel to allow a mid-afternoon tee time without rushing after check-in. That evening, head to Windjammer – Delta Hotels by Marriott Beauséjour for a convenient dinner on-site, or walk to Tide & Boar Gastropub for a more casual introduction to the local food scene.

Day 2

Drive southwest to Petitcodiac for a morning round at Petitcodiac Valley Golf & CC, an 18-hole, par-71 parkland layout that rewards accurate iron play. Tee off around 9 a.m. to make the most of the morning conditions in the valley. After the round, head back toward Moncton and continue to Memramcook Valley Golf Club in Memramcook for a late-afternoon 18 holes on this par-72 parkland track. Return to Moncton for dinner — The Pump House Brewery & Restaurant is a reliable stop for post-round food and locally brewed beer. Overnight again at Delta Hotels by Marriott Beausejour.

Day 3

Today focuses on the southern end of the trail. Drive out to Hillsborough for a morning round at Hillsborough Golf Club, an 18-hole, par-72 parkland course situated near the Petitcodiac River. Book an early tee time — 8 or 8:30 a.m. — to leave the afternoon open. On the return to Moncton, cross into Riverview and play Moncton Golf Club, a par-70 layout with a distinguished design lineage including Stanley Thompson and Albert Murray. Dinner options back in the city include Little Louis' Oyster Bar & Fine Cuisine for a more refined evening.

Day 4

Take a rest day from 36-hole stretches and play a single focused round at Mountain Woods Golf Club, an 18-hole, par-72 parkland course in New Brunswick. A mid-morning tee time leaves the afternoon free to explore Moncton — the Tidal Bore and Magnetic Hill are both nearby. Consider switching accommodation to the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Moncton for a change of base, or stay put at the Beauséjour. Dinner at Gusto Italian Grill & Bar offers a straightforward, satisfying meal before a longer driving day ahead.

Day 5

Head northeast toward the Northumberland Shore for back-to-back coastal-area rounds. Begin with a morning tee time at St. Ignace Golf Club in Saint-Louis de Kent, a Geoffrey Cornish-designed par-72 parkland course. After lunch, drive to Golf Bouctouche in Cocagne, a Graham Cooke and Greg McCullough par-72 design set in the Bouctouche area. The two courses are within reasonable driving distance of each other along the shore. Return to Moncton in the evening; Catch 22 Lobster Bar is a fitting dinner choice after a day spent near the coast.

Day 6

With most of the outlying courses covered, today brings a visit to St. Margarets Golf and Country Club in Saint Margarets. Book an 18-hole morning round and take the afternoon at a slower pace. Golfers wanting a shorter mid-trip stay outside the city can consider the Wild Rose Inn in Lakeville, which sits within the greater Moncton area and offers a quieter alternative to the downtown hotels. Return to the city for a final dinner at Catch 22 Lobster Bar or Tide & Boar Gastropub if not visited yet.

Day 7

On the final morning, play a farewell round at Lakeside Golf & Country Club or, for those who want a fresh exit, Moncton Golf Club in Riverview — both are close to the main highway corridors out of the city. Tee off early, around 7:30 or 8 a.m., to allow time to check out and load the car before departure. The Quality Inn Moncton or Travelodge Suites by Wyndham Moncton work well as a final-night stay for travellers wanting economical options near the highway. Depart southeast New Brunswick with ten courses played across seven days.
