Highlands Links Golf Course - Nova Scotia Golf
The Cape Breton Highlands Links Golf Course is a public golf course that offers golfers a unique opportunity to experience golf on a course that experts rank among the top 100 worldwide. When you consider that there are 32,000 golf courses worldwide, it is easy to understand why those who have had the opportunity to experience and come to know Cape Breton Highlands Links - love it!
Designed and constructed under the direction of world-renowned golf course architect Stanley Thompson, Cape Breton Highlands opened in 1941 and is a fine example of one of the world's best courses from the golden age of golf course design. The course is situated on one of Canada's most unique settings located in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The National Park features every natural attribute imaginable and it is within this setting that Thompson routed the course to offer players a rare and unique combination of sea side and mountain holes that together, combine to produce a course deserving of it's world class rating. The diversity of the holes and the uniqueness of the setting make Cape Breton Highlands a truly outstanding golfing experience.
Over the past 24 months an extensive course improvement and restorative program has been ongoing. Under the expert guidance of golf course architect and Stanley Thompson expert Ian Andrew, the imagination and genius of Stanley Thopmson's bunkering has been restored throughout the course with only 3 holes remaining to be completed in 2012. To open up playing corridors to their original design and improve growing conditions, a selective tree clearing program was started in the fall of 2008. This program has produced excellent results and has also resulted in the return of the stunning view planes of the ocean and mountains through which the course is routed. The greens and turf conditions overall have reacted very positively to the increased sunlight and air circulation provided by this tree removal program and local players are reporting the best green conditions in many many years.
