Toronto, Canada - 20 August 2026 - Five Cabot courses have been recognised in Golf World’s new Top 100 X Factor Courses - World ranking, including three in the global top 10.

Lofoten Links in Norway leads the collection at No. 3, followed by Point Hardy Golf Club at Cabot Saint Lucia at No. 4 and Cabot Cliffs at Cabot Cape Breton at No. 9. Castle Stuart at Cabot Highlands was placed at No. 38, while Cabot Links at Cabot Cape Breton ranked No. 46.

Golf World’s new global ranking celebrates courses that offer something truly distinctive and memorable beyond traditional measures of quality, with dramatic settings and individual holes, premier course conditioning and tournament pedigree all contributing to their ‘X factor’.

From the rugged shores of the Norwegian Sea and the dramatic Caribbean coastline of Saint Lucia to the sweeping coastal landscapes of Nova Scotia and Scotland’s Moray Firth, the five recognised courses reflect Cabot’s commitment to creating golf experiences with that live long in the memory of those who enjoy them.

“It’s a great honour to see five of our courses recognised by Golf World, including three among the global top 10,” said Ben Cowan-Dewar, Co-founder and CEO of Cabot.

“Each is entirely distinct, yet all are shaped by an exceptional setting and create their own unique sense of charm. This recognition is a fitting tribute to the architects, teams and communities whose care and commitment have made these courses what they are today.”

Together, the five entries reinforce Cabot’s position as a global collection of exceptional golf destinations defined not only by world-class course design, but also by experiences that could exist nowhere else.
