HUMBER VALLEY RESORT

River Course
Known as the River Course, Carrick’s creation encapsulates the essence of Newfoundland, where the natural beauty of the terrain must be seen to be believed. The course can be stretched to 7,199 yards at its most fearsome, and is really as beautiful as the pictures suggest. Along the way are some phenomenal holes, most notably the 10th – the tee is elevated some 180 feet above the fairway, providing incredible views.

There is no doubting that the River Course is memorable, and while Newfoundland may not immediately seem like an obvious choice, the course at Humber Valley is the rival of almost any new course established anywhere in recent years. Golf doesn’t come any more spectacular than this, which is why the Humber Valley Resort is a serious alternative to the regular golf holiday destinations.

There are already plans in place to add a second course to the fabulous River layout at Humber Valley.

As opposed to the large hotels that characterise many of the most established golf resorts, the accommodation at the Humber Valley Resort is intimate and private. Dotted around the resort, in enclaves in the towering woodland, are chalets ranging from three to five bedrooms, all of which are perfectly suited to families and groups of travelling golfers.

Inside each chalet is a fantastic living area flooded with light from the colossal windows, with the vaulted ceilings above creating a fantastic space. The individual chalets are strategically designed to take full advantage of their respective positions, providing fantastic views of the remarkable surroundings.

Standard facilities include fireplaces, satellite television with DVD player, dining rooms, fully fitted kitchens, wireless internet and outdoor decks, while hot tubs, saunas and barbecues can also be included. The lodges capture the spirit of this amazing setting, and are at the heart of the amazing Humber Valley experience.

Experiencing the outdoors is crucial at Humber Valley – the amazing surroundings present the opportunity to enjoy an extensive range of activities including cycling, walking, fishing, hiking, kayaking and sailing, in addition to the nearby man-made beach. Accredited as an Aveda Concept Spa, the resort’s Found Spa aligns the best treatments with an awareness of the environment and sustainability, offering a fantastic selection of restorative therapy.

Although the chalets have fully fitted kitchens, you may want to take a break from cooking at the Mansion Pool Dining Room or Sully’s, a relaxed family pub.
