The Bell Bay GC, designed by world-renowned architect, Thomas McBroom, sits high above the Bras d'Or Lakes and offers spectacular views from virtually every hole. Carefully groomed bent grass tees, greens and fairways provide incomparable playing conditions. From Bell Bay GC, the Alexander Graham Bell estate on Beinn Bhreagh is clearly visible.

Awarded "Best New Course in Canada" status by Golf Digest in 1998, Bell Bay GC has quickly established a reputation of excellence. In its first two years of operation, this challenging layout hosted a CPGA Tour event, was a featured on Fins & Skins TV and, in July / 2001, hosted the 2nd Annual Wayne Gretzky & Friends Invitational.

The Bell Bay Golf Club takes full advantage of the rugged island landscape and is distinguished by one of the best finishing sequences anywhere. The 17th / Par 3, dubbed "The Banshee", with its drastic change in elevation and wooded backdrop creates the perilous illusion of a much shorter hole. The 18th and signature hole, "Breadalbane", offers one of the most scenic tee positions in all of Canadian golf - a sweeping panorama of cliffs and valleys.
