I cannot believe there is only one review for Cabot Cliffs so far. Amazing two rounds on a beautiful sunny day. Benign conditions as the previous two days and day after at Cabot Links were very windy. Cabot Cliffs is a wonder of golf. No boring holes, amazing views, challenges on every hole. There will be 1000's flocking here as word gets out about what an amazing design Coors and Crenshaw have laid out. Book your trip now. Do not wait.

The greens are slow but playing Cabot links in 30 kilometer winds before and after playing Cliffs explains the green speed. If they made them any faster you ball would roll off the green.

If you want to experience one of North America's best come to the Cliffs for one of the rounds of your life. I have played all of the Bandon Dunes Courses, Ballyneal, Kiawah Island Ocean Course and many in Scottsdale. Cabot Cliffs is as good or better. No, lets be clear. Better.

A tip, if you want to play two rounds in a day get a caddy for the second round It is a walkable course but fairly hilly. Ask for "Junior". He is a great, quiet, friendly caddie, a local man who will help make your second round of the day a little easier. ( And the replay rate is great so you will be playing a top course in the world at a great rate if you do a second round).

Accommodations and food on site were excellent and 15 minutes away is the Glenora Whisky Distillery with great meals.

All in all, worth the somewhat difficult trip to get there ( but easier then getting to Bandon Dunes for anyone on the East Coast of North America.)

I cannot say enough good things about this golf experience at Cabot Cliffs.

I admit to being biased as I am a member of Larrimac. It is one of the most interesting and challenging courses I have played and I have played golf all over North America. Yesterday's early season round showed the course to be greening up nicely. It was already in "good" condition. IN a week or two the grounds superintendent will have it to the usual "excellent" condition. Do not let the 9 holes and short total yardage fool you. This course plays to its full slope and course rating.

I dare anyone to take the Larrimac Challenge. Par holes 3 through 6 in row and you can call that an accomplishment. Number 3 is an extremely uphill/side hill par 3 with a poor angle to get at the green off the tee. Holes 4 and 5 are the valley holes with uphill approach shots that are usually lengthy if you have managed to avoid the creek. Then number 6 is a very tight dogleg right par 4 where you rarely are within 30 yards for your second shot.

Always a joy to play.
