Cabot Collection Expands Into Golf Paradise: A Spotlight on Lofoten Links
The Cabot Collection is making waves again with its latest investment in one of the most breathtaking golf destinations you can imagine—Lofoten Links. Nestled north of the Arctic Circle, this stunning course has captivated golf enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
A Golf Course Like No Other
Imagine teeing off under the midnight sun during summer or witnessing the magical northern lights during autumn. Lofoten Links offers a unique golfing experience that few places in the world can match. The folks at Cabot believe it is, without a doubt, the “most beautiful place” they have ever seen, and who could argue with that?
Originally visioned by a local farmer, this course started as a humble six-hole setup back in the early 1990s. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of its founders, it expanded into a magnificent 18-hole course that was fully completed in 2015. The hard work is clearly paying off; in 2023, Lofoten Links debuted on GOLF’s Top 100 Courses in the World at an impressive No. 88.
The One-of-a-Kind Experience
Lofoten Links is not just any golf course; it’s a place where extraordinary experiences come to life. Imagine playing a round at 11 p.m. with the sun still shining overhead. It’s an experience like no other, and the investment from the Cabot Collection aims to bring even more magic to this already unique destination.
Aiming to enhance the visitor experience, Cabot plans to improve existing amenities that include delicious food offerings, cozy accommodations, and maybe even a few surprises. Currently, visitors can stay in Nordic-style lodges and indulge in a delightful meal at the on-site restaurant, but there’s so much potential for more.
Adventure Awaits Beyond the Greens
But golfing isn’t the only activity at Lofoten Links. You can also dive into a variety of outdoor adventures like horseback riding, hiking, and kayaking. The golf season runs from May to October, thanks to the glorious 24-hour daylight during the summer months, allowing for schedules that fit everyone’s needs.
Cabot sees amazing potential for the future, not just at Lofoten Links but across its expanding portfolio, which already includes a variety of other stunning locations. There’s talk of considering land for additional golf courses, expanding the collection and creating more opportunities for golfers.
Preserving a Unique Identity
Even with this new investment, there’s a commitment to keeping the heart and soul of Lofoten Links intact. The course was originally designed in collaboration with architect Jeremy Turner, and its identity will remain untouched as it integrates into the Cabot Collection. This careful approach ensures that the charm and authenticity that make Lofoten Links so special will stick around for years to come.
Cowan-Dewar expressed enthusiasm over the project, pointing out that developing golf in remote locations comes with its own set of challenges. It’s not unlike what was faced during the creation of Cabot Links in Cape Breton. The level of commitment shown throughout this journey truly reflects the passion behind cultivating unique golfing experiences around the globe.
In Summary
The Cabot Collection’s investment into Lofoten Links is set to enhance one of the world’s most idyllic golfing destinations. With stunning natural beauty, extended daylight hours for golf, and endless adventure opportunities, there’s no better time to consider a trip to this magical corner of the world. As they improve amenities while preserving what makes Lofoten Links special, it promises to attract even more golf lovers. So pack your clubs and get ready for an unforgettable experience in a place like no other.
