Sneak Peek: Nova Scotia's Stunning Cabot Cliffs
The par-4 2nd hole (401 yards)
After a relatively tame opener, the Cliffs course gets moving with Ben Crenshaw's favorite hole on the property. With a wide fairway, the hole requires you to consider the angle of attack for your second shot from the tee box. The shot here is from behind the green. -- Patrick Koenig
A view of the 2nd hole from 7th tee
Here's the view from the 7th fairway looking back onto the 2nd hole. Sometimes it pays to turn around and take in the entire scene. -- P.K.
The huge bunkers at Cabot Cliffs
Nobody should ever visit this huge, gnarly bunker, but Ashley did, and she escaped easily and photogenically. --P.K.
The par-3 9th hole (126 yards)
The short par-3 9th hole requires precision and poise. -- P.K.
The par-5 10th hole (557 yards)
The par-5 10th hole sits right along the water, and it forces golfers to carry gorse and bunkers as they approach the green. Patrick fell victim to one of those bunkers. -- Ashley Mayo
The par-3 12th hole (245 yards)
The 12th hole is a long par 3 that provides plenty of challenges for those missing the green. Here we see a group of eager scramblers headed toward the green to save par. Unfortunately, none of us met the task. -- P.K.
The 15th hole's tee sign
The tee signs at Cabot Cliffs are simple and to the point. --P.K.
The par-5 15th hole (562 yards)
The 15th hole kicks off four outstanding finishing holes. If you miss the more attractive option of the double fairway off of the tee, you'll be faced with shots like this. --P.K.
The par-3 16th hole (176 yards)
The word "epic" doesn't fully describe the par-3 16th hole. Any shot short, long or right here will plummet down the cliffside to a watery death. Our group had some great pars and some narrow misses for birdie. This is a golf hole you will never forget. -- P.K.
Teeing off on the 16th hole
Here I am teeing off on the most beautiful hole at Cabot Cliffs. -- A.M.
Escaping a greenside bunker on 16
Luckily, Jeff found the sand and not the ocean here. An even better bonus was having Ashley on hand to capture the action with her GoPro. -- P.K.
Escaping a greenside bunker on 16
And here's how that GoPro shot I took turned out. You really can't take a bad photo at Cabot Cliffs. -- A.M.
Getting up and down on 16
Have I mentioned that you won't want to put down the camera when you're on the 16th hole? -- P.K.
Approaching the par-4 17th hole (331 yards)
The walk from the 16th green to the 17th tee is stunning. The 17th hole is a driveable par 4 that runs along a cliff. Since it curves from left to right and the green drops down below the level of the tee box, you'll never see where your tee shot ends up. -- A.M.
Approaching the 17th green
As you approach the 17th green you can clearly see the par-5 18th hole in the distance. It meanders down the oceanside cliffs. -- P.K.
Getting up and down on 17
These two bunkers that surround the green on the par-4 17th catch a lot of drives. -- A.M.
Putting on the 17th green
The waves that crash into this cliff by the 17th green are so loud they're impossible to ignore. -- A.M.
The par-5 18th (528 yards)
Cabot Cliffs' finishing hole, a short par 5, offers a real chance to close out your round with a birdie. But a small bit of the Atlantic Ocean that juts into the fairway catches errant approach shots. The entire course, from the back tees, measures 6,765 yards. -- A.M.
