Three new golf courses are planned for development on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia.
The first to open will be The Lakes Golf Club in Ben Eoin. Located along the Bras d’Or Lakes and designed by Graham Cooke & Associates, the course is scheduled to open for play this spring.
The Fortress, an 18-hole, championship course designed by Nick Faldo, is expected to open sometime in 2010 as part of the 2,500-acre Louisbourg Resort. The Fortress will be complimented by an 18-hole, executive course that Faldo will also design.
Plans are also underway on Cabot Links, a new 18-hole, 7,100-yard course located between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the town of Inverness. Alberta-based golf course architect Rod Whitman will design the course.
