History and Background

Eagle Crest opened as a 9-hole course in 1994, with the back nine added in 1999. It was built and designed by Osbourne and Garnet Ward and has remained a family business since it began. The name comes from the large population of eagles that can be seen throughout the surrounding area.

What Else Is On Site

Trackman Simulators

Eagle Crest is home to two Trackman Golf Simulators. These let you play iconic courses from around the world regardless of the weather, and they provide detailed shot analysis to help you work on your game. The simulators also support tournaments and challenges with friends, so they can be used for casual play or competition.

Memberships, Events, and Dining

The course offers memberships, hosts events, and has dining available on site. If you are deciding whether Eagle Crest fits your needs, these are the main categories to check depending on whether you want regular play, a venue for a gathering, or a meal alongside a round.

Pro Shop

A Pro Shop is listed on the site, which is the usual place to ask about tee times, merchandise, and related services.

Who It Suits

  • Local or visiting golfers in the Annapolis Valley who want an 18-hole championship course with practice facilities.
  • Players looking for off-season or bad-weather golf, since the Trackman simulators allow play regardless of conditions.
  • Groups planning events that need a course setting with dining and event options.
  • Golfers who want to practice, using the driving range, practice green, or simulator shot analysis.

Practical Notes

The site's main call to action is booking a tee time, so that is the starting point if you want to play the outdoor course. For simulator use, memberships, events, or dining, the individual sections of the site cover each. Driving times given are just over an hour from Metro and about 30 minutes from Greenwood Golf Course, which makes Eagle Crest a reasonable day-trip option from the Halifax area.
