Can’t decide whether you prefer ocean or mountain golf? This place has both. 🌊⛰️

Nearly 90 years after Stanley Thompson designed it, @highlandslinks remains one of the most remarkable golf experiences in Canada.

From the Atlantic coastline to the quiet forests and mountains of Cape Breton, this is a course you need to experience.

A huge thank you to @highlandslinks and @golfnorthproperties for having us out, @adamhillphoto @visitcapebretonisland for helping us capture the beauty of this place from the air, and @strowbie for his incredible camera work bringing this story to life 🫶🏻

I’ve been working on something pretty special with @bmwcanada that I can’t wait to share with you all. More on that soon… 👀

But for now, I wanted to share a few frames from our recent golf trip to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. 🇨🇦

I genuinely believe this is one of the most beautiful places in the world. The winding roads of the Cabot Trail, mountains that meet the ocean, rugged coastlines, and some of the most spectacular golf you’ll ever experience. It’s a place that every golfer should 100% have on their bucket list.

A huge shoutout to my man @strowbie for helping me capture this experience and braving just about every element Cape Breton could throw at us. And to the talented @adamhillphoto for his incredible drone work while we experienced the beauty of @highlandslinks for the very first time. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew to share this adventure with!

And a massive thank you to everyone at @cabotcapebreton @cabot for hosting us and delivering a truly world-class experience. It’s a trip we’ll be talking about for a long, long time 🫶🏻

Lots more to come. 🎬

Why @cabotcapebreton is a must visit⏭️

You can watch the sun disappear over the Atlantic Ocean while praying the round doesn’t end

All the merch is fire. Coore’s, The Nest, Links & Cliffs all have phenomenal logos & options.

The cookie is incredible, and they let you come back for seconds

Pure.

& they are beauties.

It just does.

All you can eat seafood bar, followed by a heap of lobster, crab legs, corn and mussels.

Followed by all you can eat dessert.

Still the best office view I’ve ever had.

It won’t. Good luck.

A special place.

Truly. Magical.

Might have found my new favourite way to play a foursome. ⛳️

2v2 Shamble.

Easy to play, takes a little pressure off the tee, gives you more chances at birdie and somehow still keeps every hole competitive.

We played low score + low total for 2 points on every hole and it made for a really fun match.

Save this one and try it with your group next round 🤝

Played @wallacerivergolfcourse today after it absolutely poured last night, so needless to say… she was SOAKED.

Still managed to have an unreal round though. Definitely a challenging track with some really unique holes. The Gully was probably my favourite, and somehow I walked away with a par on it 😂

Had a solo guy behind me and a few groups nice enough to let me play through, so I eventually put the camera away and just tried to keep the pace moving.

Shot a 45, which I’ll happily take considering the conditions, and spent the majority of the round absolutely BELTING Olivia Dean.

Playing golf alone is interesting. I actually really enjoy it, but today kind of reminded me that I think I prefer playing with other people.

The social side of golf is honestly one of the biggest reasons I started playing in the first place. Meeting random people, playing with friends, talking shit for a few hours, and sharing a round with people is such a big part of why I’ve fallen in love with it.

That being said, there’s also something pretty great about being out there completely by yourself, music playing, nobody to impress, just trying to figure your way around a golf course you’ve never played before.

Fun, challenging and as always… humbling 😂

I think Northumberland Links might be the best bang-for-your-buck golf course in the Maritimes.

But there’s something else about this place that I couldn’t quite put my finger on until I was standing there.

It feels so Nova Scotian.

It’s unbelievably beautiful, but somehow completely unaware of just how beautiful it is.

And honestly, I think that’s Nova Scotia in a nutshell.

We grow up thinking we’re from this small little place on the East Coast that most of the world probably doesn’t know much about. We don’t make a huge deal about it. We’re just… here.

Then you travel.

You see other parts of the world, meet people from everywhere, experience incredible places, and somehow it makes you appreciate home even more.

The coastline. The little towns. The golf courses tucked along the ocean. The people who will talk to you like they’ve known you for 20 years.

You almost have to leave Nova Scotia to fully understand how special it is.

Northumberland Links reminded me of that.

Quietly sitting along the coast, not asking for much attention, while being one of the most beautiful places I’ve played golf.

Pretty damn Nova Scotian if you ask me. ⛳️

@northumberlandlinks might genuinely be one of my favourite courses I’ve ever played. And I don’t just mean in Nova Scotia.

This place is pure.

It’s quaint, quiet, incredibly well kept, and because it’s a little further from the city, you can usually find a tee time without planning your life around it. It’s also pretty affordable considering the shape it’s in and the views you get.

Then you hit the back 9 and spend almost the entire thing along the Northumberland Strait. Hard to beat.

I showed up solo and got paired with Dianne, Barb and… Barb. Yes, two Barbs 😂

They were wonderful to play with, although I quickly learned one thing about playing golf with women: apparently we’re putting EVERYTHING out.

They even joked about it during the round. No generous gimmies from Dianne and the Barbs 😂

Then my phone died on the back 9.

Normally not a big deal… except my phone was my GPS and, naturally, I had also forgotten my rangefinder.

So I was playing one of the most beautiful stretches of golf I’ve ever played with absolutely ZERO idea how far I was from anything.

Green? No clue.

Group in front? Couldn’t tell ya.

So I developed a highly sophisticated system: hit a safety ball without really stepping on it, see where it went, realize I had plenty of room… then try to step on a good one 😂

Interesting tactic. Wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Phone dead. Rangefinder at home. No distances. Putting everything out. Playing with Dianne and the two Barbs. Almost the entire back 9 along the water.

And somehow it ended up being one of the most enjoyable rounds I’ve played all summer.

Golf is pretty cool like that.

Already looking forward to getting back to Northumberland.
