Cabot Cliffs is Coore & Crenshaw with the volume turned up: six par 3s, six par 4s and six par 5s roaming from pine bluffs down through dunes to headlands sixty feet above the sea. It debuted at No. 1 in Canada and hasn't given the spot back.

Everything builds to the 16th—a par 3 played across a cliff corner where the Gulf fills the whole horizon and anything left is gone forever. But the quieter genius is the variety: no two holes ask the same question, and the 6-6-6 card means momentum can swing on every tee.

The par 3 the whole trip is booked around

The 16th plays across a bite of cliff with the Gulf of St. Lawrence sixty feet below and nothing but faith between tee and green. Take one extra club, commit over the corner, and enjoy the safest bail-out in golf—anything right leaves a chip; anything left is a story for the bar.

Caddie notes
01The 6-6-6 routing means scoring chances cluster on the par 5s—be aggressive there and patient on the long 3s.
02On the 16th, take the extra club and commit over the cliff corner; bail-out right leaves a simple chip, left is oblivion.
03Morning rounds are usually calmer—if you have one crack at Cliffs, make it early.
04The greens have more internal movement than the Links next door; lag to the crowns and take your two-putt.
