Cabot Links question
« on: June 12, 2012, 11:57:08 AM »
How far from Inverness is Cabot Links? Or is it walking distance to the town?  I can't quite get a specific answer.  Thanks.

It's right in the middle of the town (such as it is...)

To use a Scottish analogy, it is about as far from town as the Old Course is from St Andrews or Gullane #1 from the town of Gullane.

So you can walk from a bar to the first tee in a couple of minutes?   Excellent!

Yes, although I don't remember a ton of bars in Inverness - but the clubhouse has excellent food and drinks.  The nearest whisk(e)y distillery is a 5-10 minute drive however.

The Hoff Pub and Grill literally borders the course.
Thompson golf holes were created to look as if they had always been there and were always meant to be there.
