Getting There

Eagle Crest does not publish turn-by-turn directions on its site, so the practical approach is to route to Centreville, Nova Scotia, and follow local signage from there.

  1. Set your destination. Enter Eagle Crest Golf Course, Centreville, NS into your maps app rather than relying on the community name alone — Centreville is a small community and a street-level address will get you to the right entrance.
  2. Approach via the Annapolis Valley. The course sits in the Valley, roughly an hour out of Metro, so most routes from Halifax run west along the valley corridor.
  3. From Greenwood, allow about 30 minutes. This is the closest reference point the course itself gives, which makes it a useful check on whether your route is sensible.
  4. Confirm before you drive. Because the site doesn't list a street address or phone number in the material available, check the course's own site or booking page for the exact address and current hours before setting out.

What to Know Before You Go

  • Book a tee time in advance. The site's main call to action is booking a tee time, so treat a reservation as the normal way in rather than turning up and hoping.
  • Bring the practice session into your plan. The driving range and practice green are on site, so arriving early is worthwhile if you want to warm up.
  • Weather doesn't have to cancel the trip. Eagle Crest is home to two Trackman Golf Simulators, which let you play iconic courses from around the globe regardless of the weather, with shot analysis and tournament options.
  • Other reasons to visit beyond a round. The course also lists memberships, events, and dining, so it's worth checking those pages if you're planning more than a single round.
