The Wilds At Salmonier River

Salmonier River, Newfoundland

709-229-5444; thewilds.ca

 

Named for the frothy, Coke-coloured river that crashes over the rocky, wind-whipped landscape, the dense forest and majestic rock outcroppings of the Wilds (billed as Newfoundland’s toughest course) conjure images of mountain golf at a fraction of the price. A 45-minute drive south of St. John’s on the Avalon Peninsula, the Wilds has a 40-room, no-frills hotel at the foot of the first tee, all within a short drive of Salmonier Nature Park, the Avalon Wilderness Reserve and St. Mary’s Bird Sanctuary.
