Mike was a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge about the area. He is a local, retired teacher & history buff who brought us to the beautiful "out of the way" places that truly made this a Hidden Gems tour! Loved the "secret" places we went to for lunch & smoked Salmon. Architectural designs & local history is his forte'! We will be coming back!

6. Golf in Saint John New Brunwick

Marco Polo Cruise Terminal, 111 Water St, Saint John, NB E2L 0B1, Canada Freedom Tours

Regardless of season, a round at Golf Rockwood is a treat to the wonders of nature. Set in the midst of a 2200 acre pristine urban park it’s not uncommon to share your time with deer, groundhogs, small fox and ducks. While a relatively short course, at 5925 yards, the unique hillside terrain presents an exciting challenge that truly rewards and keeps the ball in play. This is one of those rare courses that seems to play much longer than the scorecard yardage indicates, and is incredibly challenging from the back tees, yet offers a very playable and fair challenge from the middle and forward tees for the less skilled players.

Inclusions: Club Rentals & Green Fees, Lunch

Exclusions: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase), Gratuities
