Property Setting
Situated on the site of a former coal mine, Cabot Links is Canada’s first authentic links course. Cabot Links is located in Inverness, on the west coast of Cape Breton Island. The course sprawls along the rugged shorelines of the St. Lawrence, surrounded by sandy dunes, rolling hills and wide green spaces.
Cape Breton and Inverness
Inverness is a rural community on the coast of glorious Cape Breton Island. Surrounded by grassy hills and bordering the ocean, the town is known for its rich culture, history and hometown hospitality. Trail hiking, deep sea fishing, swimming at Inverness Beach and golfing are just some of the outdoor recreational activities located nearby.
Guest Accommodations
The Cabot Links Lodge was designed by award‐winning, Halifax based architect, Susan Fitzgerald. The Lodge features well‐appointed guest rooms, each offering floor‐to‐ceiling views overlooking the entire golf course and out to the sea.
The suite interiors were designed by Alexandra Angle, giving the Cabot Links Lodge a combination of traditional and contemporary elements to create a truly luxurious and visually original place to unwind after a round of world‐class golf. With furnishings by Ralph Lauren and linens from Beltrami, guests will find a hotel that is striking, contemporary and nuanced, yet still a very welcome place to work or relax.
The Cabot Links Lodge offers four room types:
| Cabot Double | Two plush pillow top double beds 360 square feet Comfortable sitting area with lounge chair, credenza and large writing desk Walk‐in, rainfall shower Marble double vanity Includes breathtaking views of the golf course and the ocean through floor‐to‐ceiling windows |

Dining
Panorama Restaurant and Cabot Bar promise to be among Cape Breton’s finest dining experiences. The restaurant captures a chic minimalist feel, with floor‐to‐ceiling windows and stylish furniture. Large windows present guests with a unique view out onto the 18th green and beyond to the ocean.
The menus incorporate locally caught seafood, pastas, game and fresh salads. Cabot Bar features a carefully curated wine list featuring a mix of Canadian and international selections. The restaurant is in operation seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Cabot Links Golf
Designed by acclaimed golf course architect, Rod Whitman, Cabot Links is Canada’s first authentic links golf course. Positioned between the town of Inverness and the ocean, the course naturally fans out to reveal uninterrupted views.
The natural and rugged Nova Scotia landscape ‐ dramatic seaside, undulating terrain, sandy soil ‐ dictates the layout of the course. At Cabot Links, every hole affords an ocean view and five holes play adjacent to the beach.
As with most traditional links courses, Cabot Links is a walking course. Expertly trained caddies provide invaluable insight and are available for hire.
