Fundy Golf Course Hole by Hole
Alison and I arrived in Alma, the gateway to Fundy National Park after driving the Fundy Trail Parkway which has now been completed from St. Martins through to Sussex, as part of our continuing fall golf expedition to New Brunswick where we will play the Fundy Golf Course.

Fundy Trail Parkway – Drive It In 2021!

Here’s why you must drive it, bike it or hike it soon. It was late September, 2020 and Alison I were […]
