Assistant Golf Professional: The Nest Golf Club - Friday Harbour

The Nest Golf Club was established in 2018 and was originally designed by Doug Carrick. A par-72 championship golf course with 18 holes of tranquil beauty set along Lake Simcoe. Sculpted dips and hollows that add challenge and inspire precision, this world-class semi-private course boasts stunning varied landscapes from every vantage point.

The Nest features 9 holes out and the back 9 returning, allowing you to enjoy the traditional “after work” Friday game, with enough time for many more pleasures to round out your evening at Friday Harbour Resort.

The Nest Golf Club is proud to have been classified as a gold certified member through the AUDUBON INTERNATIONAL SIGNATURE SANCTUARY PROGRAM, in recognition of an ongoing dedication to protecting the natural setting that surrounds us. It has been recognized for it's award-winning design by the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) as a Design Excellence Honouree.
