Graham Cooke

Newfoundland and Labrador

Canada

Located close to St John’s International Airport on the Avalon Peninsula, Clovelly offers golfers a couple of contrasting Graham Cooke designs, with the par 62 executive Black Duck course complementing the championship-standard Osprey layout.

Extending to 6,581 yards from the rear tees, the Osprey course is laid out as two returning nines, each of which starts with a par five and plays to an overall par of 36. Holes are routed around natural wetlands and small ponds within a property that’s entirely surrounded by a dense forest of Black Spruce and Balsam Fir trees.

Highlight holes include the double doglegging par five 8th, rated stroke index 2 on the card; the very short par three 12th, sandwiched between a couple of really interesting par fours; and the 403-yard 18th which veers slightly left off the tee towards the home green.
