When the late Ron Joyce, co-founder of Tim Hortons, acquired his home in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia On 1,100 acres of nearby oceanfront land, he planned to build an exclusive playground with a private jetstrip and a world-class golf course.
In a world of limitless luxury, this golf resort will be the epitome of luxury and exclusivity. Joyce is a billionaire whose vision is to make everything top-notch and money is no limit. After all, Fox Harb'r Resort is his personal vacation spot.
This secluded oasis now attracts the wealthy for luxury and leisure, and is where world politicians hold private meetings and events. Whether you arrive by boat, charter vehicle, or private plane, this gated community guarantees tranquility, allowing guests to relax in complete privacy, away from outside distractions.
"I've never been to this place, it's so beautiful!"
Joyce hired renowned golf course architect Graham Cooke to create what is now one of Canada's top golf resorts. His philosophy was to perfectly combine the rugged beauty of the coastal landscape with the challenge of the golf experience. The result is a par-72, 7,209-yard golf course that blends the natural beauty of Nova Scotia's northern coast with carefully designed fairways and greens. This course is a challenge for many golfers, including Tiger Woods, who still holds the record for the lowest score of 63, which led him to say these kind words in 2009.
The front nine holes are exquisitely carved and the back nine holes have fantastic views.
The first nine holes of this golf course pass through pine forest. The terrain is relatively flat but full of ingenuity and interest. Lush grass, fast and challenging greens and plenty of strategic bunkers, plus challenging long holes and par 5s, are just a warm-up for the back nine.
The scenery on the back nine is equally breathtaking and eye-catching. With spectacular water views on one side and a collection of private residences on the other, from hotels and vacation homes to courses and water, only professional golfers can truly focus on their game without the distraction of owning a property here. From the 14th hole all the way to the iconic 16th and 17th holes, players can admire Joyce's private residence built on the coast. The views from the coast, including piers, rugged coastline and seals, are truly mesmerizing. Moreover, the resort plans to build another 18-hole golf course in the future, partly in the park area and partly in the coastal area, and is expected to be completed in 2025.
Unique lifestyle investment
Owning a property here means you can enjoy a unique lifestyle with access to a luxurious spa, children's Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis courts and facilities such as archery and sand shooting. It improves your comfort in autumn when the weather changes frequently. If it rains, you can easily go home to change clothes, warm up, and wait for sunny weather to continue playing. Even though it has witnessed countless luxury experiences, Fox Harbor Resort still maintains a unique atmosphere that attracts the world's elite to Nova Scotia's ruggedly beautiful coast.
