At Cape Breton Highlands Links golf course, you have the opportunity to explore a truly unique golf experience. Built during the last years of The Great Depression, as a federal ‘make work’ project, it opened in 1941.  But it wasn’t just any golf course. Parks Canada had employed Canada’s greatest Golf Course Architect Stanley Thompson, and given him a canvas like no other. Thompson is best known for his work on Canadian Railroad hotel courses, like Banff, Jasper, or St. Georges, but most golf historians agree that the Cape Breton Highlands Links course was the best of his best. Even the walks and vistas, will take your breath away.  It’s Stanley Thompson at his best, consistently ranked among the top 10 courses in the country, and frequently enters the discussion of the best in the world.

We accept that not all golfers are up to the challenge, or will embrace this ‘once on the planet’ experience.  But for those who want to tread on golf history, we’ve placed snippets of our past throughout the property on placards and signage, to help you to immerse yourself in the same vision that Stanley Thompson saw over 75 years ago.  Let yourself go, and allow yourself to have a round with the ghosts of Cape Breton Highlands Links’ storied past. You just can’t get this any place else on earth. https://golfcapebretonhighlands.ca/
