Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia stands as Canada's ultimate maritime golf destination, featuring championship courses that rival Scotland's finest links. The province gained international recognition through Cabot Links, Canada's first true links course, which opened in 2012 near Inverness on Cape Breton Island. This Rod Whitman masterpiece overlooks the Gulf of St. Lawrence and has earned World Top 100 status alongside its sister course Cabot Cliffs.
