Dundee Golf Club, Cape Breton Golf


Dundee Golf Club Hole #8, Cape Breton Nova Scotia

There are some great views on a few of the holes at Dundee GC.

Hole #8 Par 5
What they have to say;
This dogleg right par 5 requires accuracy from the elevated tee. Try to drive your tee shot down the left center of the fairway staying away from the pond on the left and the hazard down the right side. This will leave you a clear second shot to go for the green or you may choose to lay up to the large landing area leaving a short pitch. A bunker protects this shallow green on the left and a steep bank long.

Highlands Links Ingonish Beach, Cape Breton


Highlands Links #15 - Cape Breton Golf

What they have to say;
Tattie Bogle, 540 yards, Par 5 During construction, workers were instructed to pile field stone in the fairway and cover them in a similar way to which potatoes were placed in mounds and covered with thatch in Scotland. Thompson also stated, “This was suggested by the number of potato fields that one could see in this neighbourhood."

As alluded to in the 7th hole description, this hole downwind offers a thrilling chance to get home in two. To do so, the golfer must flirt with the forest and the shoulder of a hillock on the left but if he can carry the ball 260 yards, his tee ball will catch the back slope of the hillock and be propelled within 220 yards of the green. In addition, he is likely to draw a level stance. Thus, the actual playing of the 15th is every bit as spectacular as the view of Whale Island in the distance.
