Discover Canada’s finest seacoast golf
From the world top ranked, true seaside links course at Cabot Links and neighbouring masterpiece Cabot Cliffs, part of Cabot Cape Breton, to the traditional Stanley Thompson designed course at Highlands Links and the more contemporary layouts of Bell Bay, Le Portage, or The Lakes, there is no shortage of play for golfers in Cape Breton.
Cabot Cliffs, Inverness
Exquisitely carved out of the breathtaking Cape Breton landscape, with postcard worthy panoramas vying for your attention and rich, rolling fairways waiting to reward your creativity, this is linksland golf at its best. In 2018, Cabot Cliffs was ranked 9th on Golf Digest’s World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses. In 2019, the course was ranked #1 on SCOREGolf‘s Top 59 Canadian Public Courses.
Highlands Links, Ingonish Beach
When Canadian architect Stanley Thompson arrived in Ingonish Beach back in the late 1930s, he likely thought he’d instead stumbled into paradise. Its gorgeous setting bordered by water and mountains tucked against the northeastern shores of Cape Breton Island, in his mind, it resembled Scotland. In 2018, Thompson’s masterpiece, Highlands Links, was ranked 87th in the world’s top golf courses by Golf Digest.
Le Portage Golf Club, Chéticamp
Le Portage, located in the Acadian village of Chéticamp on the world famous Cabot Trail, offers golfers challenging tee shots resulting from tree lined fairways on every hole that are sure to keep you focused during your round. With great views of the Highlands mountain range, golfers will also enjoy the beauty of the course layout, the land, and the Cape Breton hospitality in Chéticamp.
Bell Bay Golf Club, Baddeck
Overlooking the island’s scenic hub of Baddeck, this Tom McBroom course offers golfers and shutterbugs alike strategic vantage points as the course zigzags its way up a steady slope above the scenic tourist town, with the twinkling Bras d’Or Lake tucked just behind it.
The Lakes Golf Club, Ben Eoin
