Dear Mom,
Thank you for everything you have done for us kids.
For that special golfing mom in your life, come visit us in the Miramichi Golf and Country Club pro shop to find an item that says 'Something nice for you!"
Our 25% Mother's Day sale will run from May 11th to May 14th end of day.
Excludes: Golf Balls, Equipment, Sale Priced Items, Peeler Cards, Gift Cards, Green Fees, Cart Fees, Memberships, and Driving Range.
The date that we have all been waiting for is upon us! The Miramichi Golf Club will be open for golf effective Thursday, May 11th. This means golfers will have access to the tee sheet at 8:00pm on Monday evening.
The club will be restricting tee time availability for guests after 12:00pm on weekends until after the Victoria Day Long weekend.
We have all 18 greens up and running, however, we will have some temporary tees on holes that are not exposed to the same amount of daylight.
CAUTION: Please be advised that there will be construction on the drainage site just in front of the pro shop. The site will be safely marked, yet we still ask that you proceed with caution while driving carts in that area.
Driving Range now open with limited space
May 6th, 2023 marked the opening of the Miramichi Golf Club driving range. Our hours of operation for the opening weekend will be from 9:00am to 6:00pm. You can pick up a bucket of range balls from the pro shop, all prices are posted inside.
Please note that at this point in the season we will be hitting of mats only to preserve the condition of the turf for warmer weather to come. We will have 6 hitting spots, available on a first come, first serve basis. The grass tee deck will be roped off, so please make all efforts to hit from the artificial turf.
The Miramichi Golf & Country Club invites you to dedicate a bench in tribute of loved ones. Click here for details.

Well there is lots of information to share but we might as well get right to the big question. I drove the entirety of the course with Tom on Thursday and the scheduled opening will be Monday at 8:30 am. All 18 greens are in mid-June condition so they will be in play but we are going to give all the tees a week to really get a head start so it will be temporary tees. This means the online booking opens tonight, April 30th at 8pm.
The big variable in determining whether all 18 holes open is the rain we are forecast to receive today. During the summer our course can easily absorb 35mm but with the ground so heavily saturated this early in the year there is concern the holes over the track may not be ready come Monday morning. Sadly, the issue is that yes they will be wet, but the real concern is that people will not respect the wet areas and selfishly drive where, deep down inside they know they shouldn’t. Please respect everyone’s playing privileges and do the right thing, stay off the wet areas wherever they are at all times of year.
In anticipation of Monday, the pro shop will be open from 9-5 both days this weekend so everyone is encouraged to stop in and check things out. Chris won’t be there unfortunately because he has a couple more days left on his quarantine. Also, the Montreal dock strike has impacted deliveries of some merchandise so although there is all kinds of eye candy on display he is not 100% stocked up yet. For those wanting drop your clubs off there will be someone in the back shop as well. We ask that people not pay for their membership in the pro shop but instead visit Patti in the office which is open Monday to Friday.
Work is ongoing this week to improve the driving range in the form of a concrete pad which will be covered with incredibly realistic artificial turf. For the naturalists there will still be lots of grass for people to hit off. Unfortunately we do not yet have a solution to limiting range usage to irons only. Our neighbors to the north (or left) have been incredibly understanding for many, many years but the increased frequency of damage resulting from errant range play has necessitated our move to irons only until was can remedy the situation. To those of you who feel your skill level doesn’t warrant this limitation, nobody ever tries to pump it into the woods so yes it does apply to you….and FYI there is a video camera pointed at the driving range.
The Board recognizes member’s value in the $36+tax Golf NB fee and voted to subsidize by paying $10 of the after tax cost for each member that chooses to purchase. Their membership allows participation in provincially sanctioned events but there is much, much more included which you will see by following this link https://www.golfnb.ca/member-benefits/ . This link will take you to the site that explains all the benefits that come with this Golf NB.
I hope nobody was too attached to the gaggle of geese that have been calling our course home the last few years. This winter Chris recommended a deterrent method he had experience with and Tom put that plan into action. I don’t want to jinx things but after 2 weeks the only migratory residents we have are a pair of geese that landed on #14 just before the strings were put in place. They may squat for the season but we will be sure to be faster than them next year.
I am attaching the COVID information sheet for you to review. Our COVID committee did a wonderful job last year and they have carried that over to 2021 and for that we are all appreciative. By and large, rules and expectations will be the same as when you played your last round. The one not so subtle difference is how much more serious everyone is taking the restrictions so please respect the rules, we are all accountable.
In closing I just want to remind everyone of the Annual General Meeting Sunday May 2nd at 1:00 in the upstairs banquet room. If you are planning to attend and have not already RSVP’ed please do so by replying to this email. It is important to know how many are coming so we can ensure COVID-19 restrictions are adhered to. There will be a separate email coming with information specific to the meeting so all attendees are aware of the expectations.
May they all be long and straight!
Troy MacDonnell, President
