In the Aug/Sept edition of Score Magazine there is an article about construction starting on Cabot Links. According to the article, Ben Cowan-Dewar, Mike Keiser of Brandon Dunes fame and the Cape Breton Growth Fund(NS Gov't) have put the financing in place and the ground was broken on construction in July under the direction of Rod Whitman on a budget of $5.7 million. The article states that the project shouldd open in 2010. Besides the wonderful site another planned feature of the course is supposed to be no golf carts allowed. Keiser predicts that up to 80 new jobs will be produced in Inverness as a result of the course( The gov't has a more modest forcast of 30)
If possible would really love to hear something on the design. Will the course go out for the first 9 and then back in true links fashion? Are there any photo updates on construction?
