Often referred to as Stanley Thompson’s “mountains and oceans” golf course because the journey the routing takes you on, Highlands Links is one of the world’s most natural golf courses, with manual labor shaping many of the fairways to provide jobs during The Great Depression. As a result, a rowdy golf course full of uneven lies through some of Canada’s most breathtaking scenery—which includes mountains, the Atlantic Ocean, a river, and the forest—-awaits those who journey to the edge of the continent.
