Wondering if this Stanley Thompson jewel is still operating. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

From what I understand they will be selling off the land, the course will cease to exist. I have a post from the owners Norway bay golf course from Feb 2019:
Dear Members and Patrons,
After two challenging seasons, we began listening to offers to purchase the course. One buyer in particular was interested in maintaining it as a golf course. Unfortunately this opportunity did not come to fruition. With careful thought and considerable conversations with our family. we haw decided to permanently close the Norway Bay Golf Course. We feel it is fitting to sat goodbye on our 80th anniversary. Although we know that the community has lost another longtime business with the recent closure of Henderson's, the workload is simply too much to bear.
In 1939 Agatha & Harvey McCredie took a leap of faith and built a small 9 hole golf course to serve the summer visitors to Scobie House. They enlisted the help of relative unknowns at the time, Robert Trent Jones Sr and Stanley Thompson. Both men would go on to design world renowned courses around the globe. For the better part of a century the fruits of their labour, The Norway Bay Golf Course, has been a cornerstone of our community. Generation after generation learned and played golf here and our family is grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it. The stories will surely live on and we hope that you all hold them dear, we know we will.
We Thank you for all for your continued support over the last 80 years. We made made friendships that will last a lifetime. West watched children grow up, and then their children grow up, and then THEIR children grow up.
All the best...

Thank you for your post. To have this lovely piece of our golf heritage simply disappear is a real loss.

Sad news. The course is close to our cottage and I have played a lot of rounds there over the years. Taught my son to play golf there.
