What is Cabot Links?

Cabot Links is pure golf with exceptional shot values. It unfolds like a finely crafted novel with unique challenges at every turn. It is one of those experiences that has you wondering how the next hole can possibly be better and yet it is. My personal favourite was number 6, a sharp dogleg left around the harbour with a rocky beach and sailboats left and huge dunes to the right. Other holes of particular note are the 233 yard second with a huge green with a deep swale running through the center, number 8, a staunch par 5 with one of the best designed double greens I have seen and number 11, an epic par 5 with a daunting uphill second shot and memorable third to a plateaued sloping green. Actually, every hole is memorable. A real shot makers paradise and an absolute "must play" for true fans of golf architecture. I can't say enough about what, for me, was an almost mystical experience. It will do nothing but get better with age.
