What Makes It a True Links Course

Unlike most Canadian courses, Cabot Links features firm, fast-running fairways on sandy linksland soil, natural dunes, and minimal irrigation. The wind off the Gulf is ever-present, requiring creative shot-making and ground game skills. The course plays along the ocean for several holes with unobstructed water views from nearly every fairway.
