Cabot Links

Rod Whitman spent years shaping the old Inverness mine site into Canada's first genuine links, and the result plays like it's been there a century—running turf, revetted bunkers, and a routing that keeps the harbour and the Gulf of St. Lawrence in your eyeline nearly the whole way round.

The stretch that stays with you runs along the water: the drivable 16th on the beach grass and the par-3 14th to a green silhouetted against the sea. It's an honest wind course—flat enough to walk easily, exposed enough that the same hole never plays the same twice.

Hole 14 · The Harbour Par 3

The postcard above the fishing boats

A hundred yards, give or take the wind—the 14th drops to a green set hard against Inverness harbour, with the fishing fleet bobbing behind the flag. It is the most photographed hole in Canadian golf, and the rare short par 3 you will remember shot for shot.
