Golf at 5 Amazing Courses! 4 courses are ranked in Canada's top 20.

Cabot Cliffs ​& Cabot Link-Inverness, Nova Scotia

The tandem courses, Cabot Cliffs and Cabot Link, are two of the most breathtaking courses on the planet. This is far from your average course. The Cape Breton costal edges of the course are prolific and the greens are magnificent. Course designers, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, created a course that integrates all five senses into the golf experience. ​This course is on many golfing fanatics' bucket list. 

​​

The Links at Crowbush - Morrell, Prince Edward Island

The Links at Crowbush is one of the finest Courses Prince Edward Island has to offer.  Crowbush's 7,000 yards of challenging golf will test any golfer. Canadian Tour events have been hosted here, keeping the even the best players guessing with booming winds and the course intricacies. The challenge of this course is met by the jaw-dropping beauty of the landscape.  More than a third of the course caresses the coastline. ​​

Highland Links - Ingonish, Nova Scotia

This course was built, by hand, in the late 1930's. Creator, Stanley Thompson, saw glimpses of Scotland in the terrain he built the Links on. Every hole has a Scottish name in homage to that. ​The rolling hills of the fairways are flawlessly built in the land, almost as if they were meant to be there. The combination of a Scottish feel and mountain golf makes for an excellent challenge. The Atlantic coast is never far too with 11 holes touching the coastline.​

 Club de golf Des Lles- L‘Etang-du-Nord, Quebec

This simple 9 hole course offers an easy, relaxing day of golf. After two days of championship level golf, this course provides a nice change of pace. Established in 1967, the fairways are truly stunning. It is the only course on the Magdalen Islands. Many golfers decide to pass on a round of golf at L'Etang for other excursions on the island.
