Cabot Links is a stunning golf course located in Inverness, Canada, and it has been designed by Canadian golf course architect Rod Whitman. The course boasts an oceanfront landscape with holes that run between the sea and the village of Inverness. The course is set on linksland which runs firm and fast, offering an authentic links experience.

Each of the course’s 18 holes offers an ocean view, and five of the holes play directly adjacent to the beach.

The holes offer a variety of challenges, with beautiful ocean views and well-designed greens.
