Cabot, a developer and operator of luxury resort and residential golf destinations, is celebrating five of its 18-hole international courses being ranked in Golfweek’s 2025 Top 100 International Courses list.
Evaluated by a panel of over 800 expert raters, courses at Cabot Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, Cabot Cape Breton in Canada, Cabot Highlands in Scotland and Lofoten Links in Norway have been recognised among the world’s finest layouts outside of the US.
Cabot received the following accolades:
- No. 5: Point Hardy Golf Club | Cap Estate, Saint Lucia | Bill Coore, Ben Crenshaw, 2023
- No. 12: Cabot Cliffs | Inverness, Nova Scotia, Canada | Bill Coore, Ben Crenshaw, 2015
- No. 45 (tied): Cabot Links | Inverness, Nova Scotia, Canada | Rod Whitman, 2012
- No. 54: Castle Stuart Golf Links | Inverness, Scotland | Gil Hanse, Mark Parsinen, 2009
- No. 89 (tied): Lofoten Links | Gimsøysand, Norway | Jeremy Turner, 2015
Designed by visionary architect duo Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, Point Hardy Golf Club at Cabot Saint Lucia made an impressive debut as the highest-ranking new entrant on the list. Lofoten Links, the world’s northernmost links-style golf course, also earned a place on the list for the first time following Cabot’s strategic investment in the property in September 2024.
“We are incredibly honoured to see five Cabot courses recognized by Golfweek among the world’s best,” said Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and co-founder of Cabot. “Creating extraordinary golf experiences has always been at the core of what we do, and it is deeply rewarding to see our courses making a lasting impact on golfers worldwide.”
The achievement comes at an exciting time for Cabot, as the brand continues to expand and enhance its global portfolio. In early 2025, Cabot Citrus Farms, Cabot’s first US-based property, celebrated its grand opening to resounding acclaim. The property features two revitalized 18-hole golf courses — including Karoo, named Best New Public Course by Sports Illustrated — along with two unique shorter courses, luxury real estate, nightly accommodations, curated experiences and a host of resort amenities.
This August will see Cabot Highlands Scotland launch preview play for Old Petty, a highly anticipated 18-hole course designed by Tom Doak. In France, Cabot is transforming Cabot Bordeaux into a premier destination for golf and wine enthusiasts. In 2027, Cabot will debut its first mountain destination and second Canadian property, Cabot Revelstoke, with preview play at Cabot Pacific, an 18-hole public-access course by Rod Whitman.
