Canadian golfers concur with the experts as they too have voted Highlands Links as the Best Public Course in Canada along with Best Scenery and Best Value. (Score Golf - Golfers Choice Awards – July 01). H Golf Digest George Knudson, Canada’s smooth swinging and most successful PGA professional, called Highlands Links the "Cypress Point of Canada". Ranked among the finest and most challenging in the world, golfers can anticipate a remarkable golfing experience. The credit goes primarily to Stanley Thompson who designed his masterpiece in Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

Thompson’s legacy is a national treasure to be played, experienced and enjoyed - capturing Scottish traditions in both setting and colorful Celtic names for the holes. Having earned a 5-star ranking in Golf Digest’s most recent (2000) “Best Places to Play” ranking, Highlands Links is now listed among the elite of golf and noted in Golf Digest as "perhaps Canada’s finest course." Thompson’s adage that "Nature must always be the architect’s model" is fully evident throughout the "topsy turvy fairways, the superb collection of par fives, the strategic, natural holes and the greens that are small and well guarded" (Golf Magazine, Sept 99). Highlands Links is also the first course in Atlantic Canada to hold the designation of "Certified Audubon Co-operative Sanctuary."

Bell Bay sits high above Cape Breton's inland sea, the Bras D'Or Lakes, offering incredible panoramas from almost every hole. The course overlooks Beinn Bhreagh, Alexander Graham Bell's beloved summer estate. Bell Bay has played host to many high profile events, such as; The 2001 Wayne Gretzky and Friends Invitational, The 2000 Canadian Club Champions Championship - RCGA, 2000 and 2001 RCGA Future Links Atlantic Championships, 2001 Nova Scotia Junior Championship, and the 1998 and 1999 Canadian Tour Event "The Bell Bay Matches". In 1998, Bell Bay was awarded "Best New Canadian Golf Course" by Golf Digest. The routing of the course takes full advantage of the natural features of the land and each hole has a distinctive element that makes it both unique and memorable. Bell Bay is distinguished by its final four holes, which have been called one of the best finishing sequences anywhere. A strong candidate for the signature hole is the seventeenth par 3, "Banshee." The drastic elevation changes, ravine and a green that is set in a pocket of trees on the other side offer an illusion to the golfer's normal distance perception and it is easy to underhit the shot. The true signature hole though is saved for last. "Breadalbane" is one of the most scenic tee shots in golf. A sweeping panorama of the Bras d'Or Lakes and Alexander Graham Bell's summer estate can take one’s attention away from this par 5 finishing hole. Starting with a tee shot over a great gorge, the hole winds it's way to the clubhouse silhouetted by the Highlands in the background.
