St. Ignace Golf Club

St. Ignace Golf Club is a public 18-hole parkland course situated in Saint-Louis de Kent, New Brunswick. Designed by Geoffrey Cornish and opened in 1975, the layout stretches 6,541 yards from the back tees and plays to a par of 72 across heavily forested, rolling terrain.

Cornish routed the course through mature woodland and undulating ground, producing a layout where tree-lined fairways demand accuracy off the tee. The 11th hole stands out as the course's defining test: a long par 3 that carries a stream to reach an elevated green hemmed in by trees on all sides. The combination of the carry, the elevation change, and the surrounding forest makes club selection particularly demanding.

At just over 6,500 yards, St. Ignace presents a challenge that suits a wide range of handicaps — long enough to test competent ball-strikers, yet the parkland setting and par-72 format keep the round accessible for recreational golfers. The forested character of the course provides shade and visual interest throughout, typical of Cornish's affinity for wooded, natural landscapes.

Saint-Louis de Kent sits in the heart of Kent County on the Northumberland Strait coast, making St. Ignace a practical stop for golfers travelling the Trans-Canada corridor through eastern New Brunswick.
