CABOT LINKS GOLF COURSE - A TRUE LINKS COURSE

NO GOLF CARTS ALLOWED HERE!!

Volkssporters are always looking for that special unique walking trail

The Cape Breton Island Hoppers Volkssport Club had that unique experience as we strolled along the edge of the Cabot Links Golf Course,and the Inverness Beach,located in the Community of Inverness, Inverness County.

The website  http://cabotlinks.com/golf will give you a better description of a "links golf course". Golfers,who are interested in experiencing a unique challenge should consider this course on their "bucket list".

This is indeed a remarkable experience and an exciting change within this former coal mining community then from our previous walk event here over the years.

The Inverness Beach as always is a wonderful place to walk, plus the Trans Canada Trail System (Inverness Shean Trail) and the added feature of a new golf course has made the volkssport event here to be a very special place to walk.

The trail portion of our walk event along the old railway bed proved to be a very interesting excursion as well when we came across what looked like a small abandoned locomotive.

Special thanks to Janice and Norm Johnson who took the time to search out this walk event. A great walk!

More photos of the event can be found on our Photo gallery section.
