Originally designed as a nine-hole course for US
Servicemen posted at the Stephenville Air Force Base in the 1960s,
Since 2000 Harmon Seaside Links
has boasted a Graham Cooke designed nine-hole extension. The combined holes provide a
unique and challenging golf experience. Bordering on the scenic Gulf of St. Lawrence,
Harmon's ocean breeze adds a soothing feel to the course while at the same time requiring
attention to prevailing winds at this true 'links' course.
The front
nine meanders along the seaside and takes you through the tuckamore
and coniferous woods that are prevalent along this rugged, beautiful
coast. Remnants of Harmon Air Force Base are interspersed among the
trees in the form of ammunition bunkers in much the same condition
internally as they were more than 50 years ago (minus the
ammunition). As you make the turn at number 5 our famous lagoons
come into play. Depending on the time of year you might see ducks,
geese, foxes, woodpeckers and occasionally moose on this part of the
course.
The back
nine has a dominant Scottish flavor, with high wavering fescue, and
sand bunkers guarding most of the holes. This nine has a panoramic
view of Bay St. George and the Gulf of St. Lawrence beyond.
Anyone who likes to play golf will appreciate all the good things
this course offers. Those who like to play golf at a links course
will feel right at home at Harmon Seaside Links.
