BEST DEAL Get three other golfers together and the four of you can spend four nights in a luxurious three-bedroom chalet and play all the golf you can stand, cart included, for $565 per person, plus tax. For an even better value, stay for seven nights for as little as $799 per person, plus tax ( humbervalley.com).

THE WEEKENDER The Strawberry Hill Resort, a quaint B&B-style collection of chalets and suites right next to the Humber Valley property, will set you up in a Manor House suite starting at $110. A peak-season rate of $200 gets you the well-appointed and history-soaked Queen’s Suite, named after (you guessed it) Queen Elizabeth. That’s right: you can sleep in the same bed as Her Majesty whenever she visits Newfoundland ( strawberryhill.net).

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE The local shopping mall might not seem like the spot for fine dining, but in Newfoundland, things are often not as they seem. The pre-war New York vibe of Gitano’s supper club is a refreshing change. Tuck into salt fish cakes, Newfoundland shrimp rolls or spicy chorizo penne while enjoying live jazz performances in the piano bar—the same place that once hosted a recording session by local songstress Allison Crowe ( Millbrook Mall, Corner Brook; 709-634-5000).
