The newest addition to Cape Breton Island’s
golf experience, The Lakes Golf Club is scheduled to open in the
summer of 2009. This Graham Cooke-designed course will be a world-class
golf course, capitalizing on the beautiful landscapes and outstanding
views of the Bras d’Or Lakes.
Coupled with Cape Breton’s existing courses, The Lakes will wrap up Cape
Breton Island as an international golf destination. Located 10 minutes from Rita’s
Tearoom and 20 minutes from Sydney, The Lakes is situated centrally within one
of the world’s most attractive tourist destinations.
“Each golf hole at Ben Eoin will have an intriguing appearance and
the course will have a balanced challenge so that all golfers will
be able to have an unforgettable and entertaining experience,” according
to Graham Cooke. “The
Lakes Golf Course will be a wonderful place to call home and it
will certainly capture the hearts of all the tourists and guests
who come to visit.”
