Cabot Links

Set along the shores of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Inverness, Nova Scotia, Cabot Links is Canada’s first true links golf course and a world-class destination for golfers. Designed by Canadian architect Rod Whitman, the course opened in 2012 and quickly earned recognition as one of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World. Cabot Links is carved directly from rugged seaside terrain, with firm fairways, rolling dunes, and ocean breezes that bring authentic links golf to Cape Breton. The course stretches to over 6,800 yards, offering a challenging yet fair test that rewards creativity, strategy, and shot-making variety. Every hole at Cabot Links is memorable, with six holes playing directly along the ocean and many others offering panoramic views of the coastline and fishing village of Inverness. The course emphasizes ground game options, allowing golfers to play bump-and-runs, knockdown shots, and imaginative approaches—hallmarks of true links golf. Among its signature holes, the par-4 11th stands out, playing along the beach with dramatic views, while the par-5 6th offers a thrilling risk-reward challenge with water in play. With its ever-changing winds and natural setting, no two rounds at Cabot Links are ever the same. Beyond the course itself, golfers can enjoy world-class amenities including luxury accommodations, seaside dining, a modern clubhouse, and practice facilities. Combined with its sister course, Cabot Cliffs, Cabot Links is part of the Cabot Cape Breton resort, recognized globally as one of the best golf destinations.
