Humber Valley Golf Resort - River Course
Cornerbrook, Newfoundland.

A success before it even opened, Humber Valley ’s River Course is part of one of the most fantastic real estate projects ever created in Canada . A resort course with a difference, Humber Valley Resort has been a huge hit with Europeans who have flocked to the site to purchase chalets alongside the stunning course.

Featuring Carrick Design’s characteristic wide fairways, the River Course is no push over. Strategy abounds, as fairways plunge down hillsides and 103 bunkers make club selection an integral part of every round.

Humber Valley isn’t just a hit with golfers. The developers of the project were so pleased with the course and its construction that they are using Carrick Design to create several new golf designs on sites in Ireland and the Caribbean.

“Doug’s courses are both challenging but fair to the amateur player,” said Brian Dobbin, one of the partners behind the Humber Valley project. “What truly puts him in a world-class design category is his appreciation of the natural features of each potential site in the classic golf course design ethos. Not a gimmicky person, his designs are authentic golf challenges, giving fair reward for strong play.”

 

Awards and accolades:

- Humber Valley Resort received the 2003 Bentley International Homes five star “Best International Resort” award as the overall winner from amongst 250 resorts nominated worldwide

- Humber Valley voted Best Golf Development by Homes Overseas Magazine 2005
