But.. we cannot forget the Keltic Lodge favorites… 

Cape Breton Highlands Links
Designed by Stanley Thompson, the course is not overpowering for the average golfer, but a challenging layout that requires accuracy off the tees, rolling fairways that feature very few flat lies, if any and relatively small, undulating greens that reward a good shot.

The Spa at Keltic
The full service spa features seaweed treatments indicative of the resort's ocean connection. The Spa at Keltic Lodge is only one of three free standing resort spas in Atlantic Canada and is a 500 sqaure foot Aveda concept spa offering a full range of treatments.
