From the rugged shores of the Norwegian Sea and the dramatic Caribbean coastline of Saint Lucia to the sweeping coastal landscapes of Nova Scotia and Scotland’s Moray Firth, the five recognised courses reflect Cabot’s commitment to creating golf experiences with that live long in the memory of those who enjoy them.
“It’s a great honour to see five of our courses recognised by Golf World, including three among the global top 10,” said Ben Cowan-Dewar, Co-founder and CEO of Cabot.
The details
“Each is entirely distinct, yet all are shaped by an exceptional setting and create their own unique sense of charm. This recognition is a fitting tribute to the architects, teams and communities whose care and commitment have made these courses what they are today.”
Together, the five entries reinforce Cabot’s position as a global collection of exceptional golf destinations defined not only by world-class course design, but also by experiences that could exist nowhere else.
