There’s golf, and there’s golf that really comes with it. You know it when you see it. The kind of races that don’t fight the country, but follow it. Where, if you close your eyes, you can almost imagine what the place looked like before the fairways and greens were mowed. That’s exactly the philosophy behind it Cabot – a global golf empire built not on excess, but on place.
Cabot started out on a quiet stretch of Canadian coastline, but is now worth chasing everywhere – from the windswept links in Nova Scotia to cliff-top fairways in Saint Lucia, vineyards in Bordeaux, misty Scottish Highlands and beyond. No gimmicks. No filler. Just golf that is completely part of the environment.
Cabot is subtly redefining what destination golf looks like. The only question left: which one will you play first?
Where it all started: Cabot Cape Breton
Nova Scotia, Canada
If golf heaven had an address, it would be Inverness, Nova Scotia. This is where Cabot was born, where it all began. Bee Cabot Cape Bretontwo of the world’s top-ranked golf courses, Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs, tumble along the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s golf as it was meant to be: sturdy, fast and completely at the mercy of the elements. And for the best views of the property, head to The Nest, an 11-hole par-3 course at the highest point of Cabot Cliffs.
The ocean crashes, the seagulls howl, the wind whispers and the spirit of the place captures your heart. You will question every life decision you have made and not make yourself move here permanently.
A Caribbean daydream: Cabot Saint Lucia
Point Hardy, Saint Lucia
Two worlds apart, yet both unmistakably Cabot, we swing far south with this next destination: Cabot Saint Lucia. And believe us, you’ve never played a course like this before. Located 1.5 miles from the rugged Atlantic coast, Point Hardy Golf Club was conceived by design duo Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. The location is as dramatic as it gets: steep cliffs, rocky outcrops, rolling dunes and white-sand beaches.
Nine greens play right along the ocean, with more than a few swings over the Caribbean itself, but all 18 offer views worth bragging about. Point Hardy is a masterclass in restraint and respect for the land, woven so seamlessly into its surroundings that the outcome feels both unlikely and inevitable. Send your sticks forward because you want to have both hands free for photos.
The home of golf: Cabot Highlands
Inverness, Scotland
Golfing in Scotland always feels like taking a step back in time Cabot Highlands proves this isn’t just marketing fluff. At its heart is Castle Stuart, a design that honors the traditions of links golf while daring to reinvent them. Infinity-edge greens fade into the sea and sky, wild bunkers blend into the landscape and clever contours keep your brain firing all the time. After the last putt is dropped, there’s only one thing left to do: find the whiskey bar and pour yourself a dram. You’ve earned it.
And soon there will be even more reason to visit Cabot Highlands, with the upcoming opening of Old Petty. Designed by visionary architect Tom Doak, Old Petty unfurls beneath a centuries-old castle and channels the golden age of golf, where strategy, imagination and the elements reigned supreme. Preview rounds are already underway and the grand opening is scheduled for May 2026.
Sandbelt meets spring break: Cabot Citrus Farms
Brooksville, FL
If you think golf in Florida is all flat fairways and the occasional palm tree, think again. Cabot citrus farmsthe company’s first American ownership, is rewriting the rules of golf in the South. Spread across 1,200 acres in central Florida you’ll find dramatic elevation changes, bunkers that could swallow a sedan, and ancient oak trees draped in Spanish moss, hanging like chandeliers over every fairway.
Tee off on the resort’s two 18-hole championship courses, Karoo and Roost. Or embrace the fun of The Squeeze, the resort’s aptly named 10-hole course. And top it all off with night golf on the 11-hole par-3 course, The Wedge.
Ski-in, exit: Cabot Revelstoke
British Columbia, Canada
Revelstoke is Cabot’s highly anticipated next frontier, opening in 2027. And trust us, it will be well worth the wait. Rod Whitman, the Alberta-born architect behind Cabot Links, has channeled his location-focused philosophy into a course that really lets the land do the talking. Expect sweeping views of the Columbia River, winding creeks, and sizable greens and fairways that break up the typical mountain golf.
Cabot calls it a “four-season destination.” We call it a masterpiece. Send your clubs, or your skisand enjoy it all year round.
Giet en Pars: Cabot Bordeaux
Bordeaux, France
Wine country just got a little more intoxicating. Set among rolling vineyards and open countryside, Cabot Bordeaux offers two distinctly different golf experiences. The Châteaux Course is a real heathland landscape: sandy underfoot, heather-lined and effortlessly elegant. It has been compared favorably to legends such as Sunningdale and Swinley Forest. Not bad company, we’d say.
Vignes, the resort’s second course, is part park-like playground and part inland. Designed by Rod Whitman, it rewards imagination over brawn. Shorter holes, tighter courses and greens with just the right amount of mischief make it a real thinker’s course.
At Cabot Bordeaux, the pour after the round is just as important as the golf itself. Swap the putter for a Pinot, relive the birds above Bordeaux and toast a dish that proves that good taste is not limited to the cellar. Hello.
There are golf brands, and then there is Cabot – silently stitching together the most interesting network of courses on earth. From the cliffs of Nova Scotia to the beaches of Saint Lucia, the Scottish Highlands to the pines of Florida, Cabot ensures your next golf trip is more of a story than a scorecard.
So pack your clubs, take to the skies, follow wherever the fairways take you, and let Cabot be your compass.
