The Lakes Golf Club at Ben Eoin

The Lakes Golf Club at Ben Eoin is widely regarded as one of the finest courses in Cape Breton, set on beautiful Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. The 18-hole layout sits just 15 minutes west of Sydney on Route 4, making it an accessible destination for golfers exploring the region. Designed by Graham Cooke, the course was built using the latest technology in golf course construction and takes full advantage of dramatic elevation changes throughout. Each of the 18 holes offers its own distinct character — rock outcrops, crashing streams, grassy meadows, and long views across the landscape combine to create a varied and rewarding round. As Cooke describes it, every hole presents a postcard view, with the diversity of design and setting keeping golfers engaged from tee to green. The interplay of terrain and thoughtful routing means there is always something new around the next bend.
