Cabot Links
Cabot Links is a golf course located in Inverness, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is a full 18-hole true links course, but a 10-hole version of the course was opened in 2011. It was designed by Alberta native, Rod Whitman and is located on a former coal mine along the coast of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Construction and development began in the late 2000s (although the town had been trying to get a golf course well before then). The golf course was the creation of Ben Cowan-Dewar, a Toronto-born 33-year-old, with the financial backing from Mike Keiser. Mike Keiser was the creator of Bandon Dunes. The golf course has assisted with the rebirth of the Inverness economy, which went into decline after its coal mines closed. Its success led to the opening of a second golf course in July 2015, called Cabot Cliffs. Designed by world-renowned architecBill Cooreand two-time Masters Winner Ben Crenshaw, Cabot Cliffs Cabot may refer to: Businesses * Cabot Corporation, an American chemicals comp ...

Before Hussey industrialized the coal operations of the town it was exploited by the locals, but without means to export the coal it was never mined in earnest.
