Key Take-Away’s From This Episode:

  1. Cabot is located in the northwestern part of Nova Scotia (New Scotland) on Cape Breton island. Halifax Airport is the most popular airport for most guests to fly in to – about three hours drive to the resort. Cabot has seven sprinter vans available if needed for the trip in.
  2. 72 rooms offered on property and all have views of the course and the water in the distance. Groups should consider a 4 bedroom villa – first class accommodations! (https://www.cabotlinks.com/resort/accommodations/villas/4-bedroom-golf-villas/)
  3. Enjoy the laid back Panorama Restaurant with some of the best food prepared by Chef Malcolm. ( https://www.cabotlinks.com/resort/dining/panorama-restaurant/) Cabot Bar is below the restaurant and is literally located just off the 18th
  4. The Celtic music is one the most popular attractions of the area – also, the Cabot Trail is a 4 ½ hour drive that is ranked as tops by Conde Nast magazine.
  • Cabot Links (currently ranked 35th in the world) is the original golf course. Cabot Cliffs is a Coore Crenshaw design that is punctuated with dramatic views of the Cape Breton shoreline

017 – Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa (feat. Brad Scott)

On a 415-acre tract of swampland in northeast Florida, the history of golf would be altered forever. On that site, ground was broken for what would become THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. Opening in 1980, THE PLAYERS Stadium was built to challenge the pros like no other golf course had done before, while providing an unprecedented experience for spectators at the same time. Renowned architect Pete Dye began to scribble on a placemat drawing out the makings of a course. The rest is history.

007 – Erin Hills (feat. Rich Tock)

Erin Hills is a course like none other — routed over the kettle moraine areas left by glaciers, surrounded by wetlands and a river, on ground that consists of glacial till of varied composition of sand and small rock. It was an unconventional decision for a golf course in Wisconsin. The course was designed to accommodate the 2017 U.S. Open, in terms of both the challenge to the players and the logistics of the spectators.

011 – Pinehurst Resort (feat. Ben Bridgers)

Around the world, Pinehurst is where the American golf story is rooted, and where it continues to flourish. Most know of its modern history – with stories like the Payne Stewart putt that won the 1999 U.S. Open. But locked with its archives are thousands of moments that define each generation for the past 100 years. Pinehurst is America’s first golf resort.

Since 1898, Pinehurst has hosted more championships than any other club in the country and they look forward to being the site of the 2024 U.S. Open Championship. Until then, you are invited to explore all of the nine courses and create a championship experience of your own. This bucket list golf trip destination will leave you and your buddies a memory that will last a lifetime.
