Canada's Cabot Links is preparing to expand again, and it's great news for golfers who can head to North American East Coast's equivalent to Bandon Dunes.
Resort co-founder Ben Cowan-Dewar tells the Halifax Chronicle-Herald that a par-3 course is coming to the resort to complement Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs, the pair of world-renowned courses already on the property. Further, the resort is looking at adding a third full-length course to its offering.
Well, that makes sense. Mike Keiser, of Bandon and Sand Valley fame, is a partner in Cabot Links on Cape Breton in Nova Scotia. Bandon has a 13-hole short course. A par-3 course just opened at Sand Valley. Having one at Cabot makes sense. Short courses have become a bit of a trend in golf, and it's been a well-received push by most anyone in the game.
Both Rod Whitman's Cabot Links and Coore & Crenshaw's Cabot Cliffs offer stunning water views and some of the coolest holes on the planet. Both have been ranked in world top 100 lists.
