Today, St. Andrews represents one of the best preserved examples of colonial heritage in North America. While maintaining it's charm, this New Brunswick resort town is also a dynamic, wealthy community. Little town values and amicable neighbors mix well with a spirited business environment. For the residents of St. Andrews, life is indeed charmed.
The Algonquin Golf course, designed by prize-winning architect Thomas McBroom, is a golf masterpiece in an impressive seaside location. The "new" facility incorporated the land from the original 18 hole and 9 hole courses plus an extra 50 acres and transformed it into a world class golf course measuring close to 7000 yards and playing to a par of 71. Included is a full service Golf Academy with a 20 acre practice range, a new short game area and a putting green. The golf course has been recently rated (by Borseman) as the top course to play in the province.
Other courses in Charlotte County include the St. Stephen Golf Club, the St. Croix Golf & Country Club in Calais, ME and the Campobello Herring Cove Provincial Golf Course. For variety, another six courses are found in the Saint John area. Saint Andrews also has the W.C. O'Neill Arena, a magnificent multi-purpose facility. It has rinks for curling, hockey and skating, theatres and tennis courts. In the summertime, one of the oldest and most respected hockey schools in North America operates at the arena. Other activities include tennis at the Algonquin Tennis Club, badminton, volleyball, basketball, soccer and swimming.
Saint Andrews has maintained the qualities that have brought visitors for more than a hundred years, and remains a town full of personality, quality and charm. The largest full service resort in eastern Canada, the Algonquin has top class convention facilities, and with a $10 million addition, 240 more rooms. Maintaining this character is complemented by many historic sites including the Algonquin Hotel, a Battle of 1812 Blockhouse, the Charlotte County Courthouse, and a magnificent collection of period houses.
The old downtown commercial core is a shopper's heaven, and it's especially famous for handcrafts and woolen products. The Public Wharf at the centre of town acts as the gateway to the abundant recreational water activities of Passamaquoddy Bay. Actually the sea life of the region is so varied that Saint Andrews is home to 3 research laboratories. For visitors, Huntsman Aquarium-Museum offersan engaging look at the Bay of Fundy ecological system.
