Cabot Cliffs

[Howard Riefs]

“One course is a curiosity; two courses is a destination,” says Mike Keiser.

Here comes Cabot Cliffs, the 2nd course to accompany Cabot Links.

Details via the below Golfweek article:

-- Architect:  Bill Coore walked the area a couple of weeks ago and has started drawing up routing plans.
-- Timing:  Land clearing already has begun. Groundbreaking is anticipated sometime in 2013. Expected to be open for play in 2015.
-- Site:  Area known as Broad Cove located 2 miles north of Cabot Links. 600-acre tract of land offers more than a mile of coastline – similar to the seaside stretch at CL.  Elevation lends to dramatic views of the gulf and the cliffs.
-- Course feature: A par 3 that will "play similar to the iconic 16th at Cypress Point."

Ran and Ben:

Please don't call the place Cabot Cliffs!  The name reminds of the Cliff's communities golf developments in the southeast US.

How about simply Broad Cove?

Or...Inverness Highlands

working title...I'll sky-write over Mr. Keiser's house the GCA suggestion for New Macdonald.

BOOM!!!

New MacDonald it is.

[Ronald Montesano]

New MacDonald had a cliff...e-i-e-i-ay

[Bill Seitz]

New MacDonald had a cliff...e-i-e-i-ay

It's in Canada, so it would be e-i-e-i-eh?

[Michael George]

If it is located at Broad Cove, why not Cabot Cove. 

Site looks incredible.  Could it be the best property that Coore/Crenshaw have ever been given?  I would think only Sand Hills and Lost Farm would be the only competition.

eh is spelled ay in Canadia/Canuckland.

[Tim Pitner]

Exciting.  I'm inclined to wait to visit the destination instead of the curiosity.

Good idea.

That would be named The Cliffs of Cabot at Inverness

The Trace of the Cliffs of the Cove at Inverness @ Keiser International.

How long till the inevitable Cabot vs. Streamsong hole-by hole death match?

[Ronald Montesano]

No fair...it's 2 v. 1.

[Greg Tallman]

No fair...it's 2 v. 1.

Actually in this economy it is 1 vs. 0 at this point.

[Jud_T]

I meant once all four courses were in the ground the need to rank them would be unbearable for some.

December 14, the date Streamsong opens.

[Ronald Montesano]

I see your point...how about Cabot and Streamsong in Canadian Doubles vs. Bandon?

Little early to start that kind of hype don't you think...off of those six pics?!?

[Ronald Montesano]

Yeah, Mikey boy, about that... are you saying that your personal ranking of C/C is Sand Hills, followed by Lost Farm? I think that a number of courses found here (http://www.coorecrenshaw.com/portfolio.html) would compete with Cabot Hertz for site worthiness.

That's nothing. Memory serves, a thread earlier this year crowned the "finest routing of 18 holes in the history of the game" on a course that won't open for another year.

[Ronald Montesano]

I'm a big fan of the property where The Pit is currently located, in Aberdeen, N.C. When Pinehurst Jiu eventually opens, it will be on one interesting piece of property.

A little more from Brad Klein in the current Golfweek:

Cabot Links’ developers of this site that they are well under way with plans for a second course a mile to the north, located on a bluff 110 feet above the gulf for which Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw are now completing the routing. It will be called Cabot Cliffs and be part a second, affiliated hotel complex, with a likely opening date of mid-2014.

That opening date seems pretty optimistic ... I wouldn't say the likely opening date was mid-2014 unless I had already started construction.

What is the true workable season? 9 months?
