Central to Golf

The Northern Cape Breton region is enviably positioned to take advantage of some of the world’s best and renowned golf courses. The Top of the Island provides a great location to make home base as you tour the island’s fairways.

Highlands Links
The Cape Breton Highlands Golf Course is one of a kind. Conceived and constructed under the watchful eye of world-renowned designer Stanley Thompson, it is a classic 18-hole, par 72 course carved out of one of Canada’s most pristine wildernesses. Come experience golfing in a way you never have before! Our course has beautiful views around every corner, as well as nature being all around you while playing through the Cape Breton National Park.

Le Portage

Le Portage
A short drive along the western shoreline brings one to Le Portage golf course, in the French-Acadian fishing village of Cheticamp. This 18-holer is arguably one of the most underrated courses in North America. As if combining an attractive yet functional clubhouse with wide fairways and magnificently maintained greens were not enough, the course, like Highlands, is set at the base of the mountains. Here eagles soar overhead while golfers struggle to concentrate amidst the distraction of towering mountain beauty.
