The Fraser Edmundston Golf Club was established in 1926. It was a pulp and paper company by the name of Fraser Inc., located in the city of Edmundston, which decided to build a nine-hole golf course. The course was opened in 1926 and, in 1936, its first clubhouse was built. In the mid 40’s, Fraser decided to purchase additional land to expand its golf course and in 1947, a brand new 18-hole course was
completed. The course was completely redesigned and rebuilt by a noted golf architect, Mr. Albert Murray. It is also one of the rare facilities to possess a five-hole Junior Course designed exclusively for our very young golfers.
The Fraser Edmundston Golf Club continues to be rated as one of the best golf courses in the Maritime Provinces. In 1956, the Club and its members proudly hosted the Canadian Amateur Golf Championship when Moe Norman won against Gerry Magee. Mr Norman still holds the course record with an astonishing score of
64, which is 9 strokes under par. In 2002, the Club again had the privilege of hosting yet another Amateur Championship. The winner was an American, Mr. Dilbert Pruitt.
In 2005, Fraser Papers
tranferred the ownership of the
Club to the city of Edmundston.
A Board of Directors was
appointed by the City to oversee the
operations of the Club. M. Gaétan Lévesque presides over this group of 10 volunteer members. In 2007, a brand new and enlarged driving range was completed. This facility is accessible to everyone, members or non-members.
