After an era of modernist designs, classic golf is once again de rigueur, and no Canadian designer embraces the classic principles of golf course architecture like Rod Whitman. Whitman’s design ethos is respectful of the setting, and desirous of working with the land to create the best golf course. Cabot Links will be just such a layout, playing to just under 7,000 yards and a par of 71 over a rugged site between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the town of Inverness, Nova Scotia. The terrain is varied and dramatic in the tradition of the game’s great seaside golf courses in the UK and Ireland, and architect Rod Whitman has devised a routing plan that takes advantage of the landscape’s most exciting properties. No hole will play the same way twice, and the conditions of the day will dictate strategy.

Cabot Links will be golf in its purest form, a classic take on the game.

“The intent is to create a golf course of extraordinary beauty on the ground that continuously draws a golfer’s eyes toward spectacular views and will be eternally fun for players of all abilities. ”
