Traditional and well designed Scottish links style course. Scenic and right on the beach, this is a course you can easily walk. Also a companion walker is allowed, so I enjoyed walking as my husband played. Caddies are worthwhile helping reading the subtle greens. read more

Cabot Links - 6th hole - Golf Near Me - Inverness, Nova Scotia

This review focuses on Cabot Cliffs, the newer crown jewel of this resort. They claim to appeal to all five senses. I'll go through each one. Taste: Upon arriving at the first tee, there is a jar full of cookies. I took one along for my journey and indulged on the wait to tee off on number 10 as I stared into the sea. It was truthfully one of the best chocolate chip cookies I ever had. Smell: I could fill my lungs with that crisp, salty, ocean air alongside the crescendo of holes 16, 17, & 18 all day long. Sight: Where do I begin with this one? Cabot Cliffs appeals to this sense as you meander through the forest, dunes, and ocean your entire journey. Never once do you find a filler hole to bridge your journey to another scenic spot on the course. All 18 holes fill your eyes with a landscape of pure beauty. Sound: Only one other time have I seen the metal cups that Cabot utilizes on all their greens. It is it the equivalent of burying a soup can and the ensuing ringing your ball makes when it finds the bottom of the cup is a reward for making a pure stroke. It is comical and further verifies you have completed the task at hand when you hear that ball clamor at the bottom. Touch: The tight, firm fescue grass that lines this entire course makes for a great links turf. As you replace each divot, you realize just how the origins of this game required a grasp of the concept of a ground attack. The ground is so firm the ball will run for miles. It feels as if you're walking on concrete. You're bounding drives will boost your ego as if you need any of that taking in what I guarantee will be one of the most spectacular rounds of golf you'll ever play. The Nova Scotia tourism bureau can send their royalty checks to me. Plan your visit to Cabot Links now before the word on the street gets any further. read more

Cabot Links - Tee shot up #18. A solid drive will leave you with the opportunity to put an exclamation point on your round at Cabot Cliffs. - Golf Near Me - Inverness, Nova Scotia

An unfortunate racist encounter at the Links Pro Shop This review is only about the Cabot Links Pro Shop. We played golf (Cliffs) and dined at Cabot Bar and the Pub - all wonderful experiences and the staff were fantastic (5 stars). However, had an unreal experience at the Links golf shop just now! There was an older woman with short hair working there who was clearly following me with her eyes while I was looking around. When I went up to the register to pay, I asked her where was the Pub b/c I was looking to grab lunch there. She didn't know. Then she rang me up my purchase and asked if I worked there. When I said "no, my husband is playing a round of golf", she said, surprisedly, "Oh?" I paused to take in what just happened. Awkward silence ensues. Wow, lady. Also, if I worked here would I ask you where is the pub? Anyway, fine. I try to brush it off. Maybe the only Asians she's known are those working on premise, and she cannot fathom Asians coming to play golf in 2019? Then, as I head out, she tries "to be helpful" and points out the Pub on the hill. She then also adds that one can eat at the Panorama and the Cabot Bar - making it a point to say, "the one upstairs is expensive". Oh, good lord. Would she say the same thing to me if I were white, I wonder? Or a man? The kicker is that when I was at lunch, I noticed she charged me for "Cabot" water that they give out for free at the Lounge and that's not even for sale at the golf shop. I went back to get a refund. I'm just so outraged, because I thought that Canadians were pretty diverse and good people. Not going to let her spoil my stay, but heads-up, this "Mary H" (name on the receipt) should take some diversity and inclusion / dignity at work training real pronto, especially as Cabot Links tries to attract more visitors from around the world. I assure you that people of all different races and ethnicities play golf and stay at golf resorts. read more

Special! True links golf. I played this course on opening day in 2012 and have been dreaming of a return since. In my 7 year absence, this track has matured wonderfully and would be my choice to play daily. Wandering amongst the dunes like Waterville and firm like Royal Dublin. Constant breeze like Ballybunion or Tralee. Planning my next trip already! read more

Excellent golf and views Accommodations OK Be sure to get second story you'll hear all from upstairs neighbors if on ground level Lovely view but can't step out to sit and enjoy If you're by the first tee and putting green zero privacy read more

We spent 5 nights at Cabot Links Resort and played 4 rounds of golf. The Links and Cliffs are very nice golf courses. They are challenging but not overwhelming and having a caddie is a big plus. The caddies were all very friendly and the golf program was very well organized. The rooms were also nice and we enjoyed our meals in the three restaurants. The staff were also professional, helpful and friendly. The disappointments were the lack of resort amenities (should change in 2020 when the new clubhouse and spa are built); without our own transportation we were pretty much captive to the site as there were only a couple of restaurants nearby and they offered pretty much the same pub fare as two of the restaurants on site; no coffee shop on site where one can get a quick muffin or bagel before playing golf (although there is a place in town which was a short walk); no shop on site with basic toiletries as most places have; no work out facilities. There was a van available to take us off site but it was costly. Also unless you are a hiker or come from a landlocked part of the country I would pass on taking a van ride along the Cabot Trail. We found the ride long and boring which was no reflection on our tour guide as he was very nice. In summary, come to play golf but know in advance that unless you are a hiker there is nothing else to do. read more

Took a group of 9 golfers for a 50th birthday party in mid July and this resort did not disappoint over 8 rounds in 4 days. Both of the golf courses were unbelievable layouts with a fabulous diversity of holes, shots, distances, and difficulty. The 16th and 17th at Cliffs are a bit on the tricked up side but have the pictures to prove we played. Links also has a awesome set of holes but just slightly less picture-worthy. Only negatives were the really slow greens at Cliffs which annoyed everybody and very expensive caddies compared to course knowledge. Also would give very high marks to the rooms, the food, and the staff, although the caddie situation each day was never quite nailed down until tee time. The couches on the cliff after hole 18 at Cliffs for some drinks is a memory forever by itself. We played so much golf that we didnt see much of the town but what we did was just fine with some casual food. Getting there is quite a trip - 3 hour drive from Halifax and most of us took 2 flights to get there. To make it worth the trek, you really need at least 3 days, but if you are willing to invest, it is definite bucket list trip. read more

The service seemed like they only pick blondes and handsome people and they have been no help they have no idea about anything when inquiring about products and services the meal at Panorama was raw and not worth the very hefty price and their laundry and housekeeping situation seems like they're over worked and have a terrible system set up. It was a very disappointing experience read more

My review is based on the whole resort. Cabot Cliffs is my favorite golf course in the world - and i've played about half of the top-50 Golf Digest. Staff was awesome and our golf accommodations were the best i've ever had. The Barstool sports podcast on this is worth listening to as it goes in a lot of detail. read more
