Enjoy Cape Breton Golf
at Highlands Links Golf Course

Cape Breton Golf at its best! In 1939, internationally renowned golf course designer, Stanley Thompson was invited by Canada's National Park Service to create a golf course in a magnificent coastal setting within Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Thompson designed and built what he called his "mountains and ocean" golf course, an inspired piece of architecture that has proved to be one of the finest achievements. 



Restored to its powerful original design in 1997, Thompson's genius is demonstrated in the use of outstanding landforms, pristine environment and breathtaking ocean views.

Ingenious routing from the rocky headlands to lovely wooded glens, stupendous views of the mountains and sea, deep gullies and swales, bunkers true to course integrity, Thompson's masterpiece has indeed been revitalized to world class standards.
