Cabot prepares to reveal new golf course in the Canadian mountains

Cabot has built its name on remote, windswept links from Cabot Cape Breton on the Nova Scotia coast to Cabot Highlands in the north of Scotland. However, Cabot also offers a handful of elite golf resorts such as Cabot Farms, Cabot Saint Lucia, and Cabot Bordeaux. Its next project is an addition to the latter. Cabot Revelstoke has been in development for a while now, taking shape in the mountains of British Columbia. Revelstoke will be the brand's first four-season golf and ski destination, and the company has just confirmed a wave of new details ahead of its debut.

The resort sits at the base of Revelstoke Mountain, set against the Monashee and Selkirk mountain ranges. This region is better known as the heli skiing capital of the world rather than a golf destination. Nevertheless, Cabot Revelstoke intends to merge the two. Cabot has confirmed that limited preview play on its 18-hole course is anticipated for autumn 2026, with the wider resort following in early 2027. For anyone planning a trip to western Canada, that puts a genuine new option on the map.

This Course Will Be Special

The golf is the reason to pay attention. The course has been designed by Rod Whitman, the Alberta native behind the original Cabot Links. Perched on a bench of land high above the Columbia River valley, the routing makes full use of the views over the river as well as the surrounding peaks. Cabot has described the course as a combination of generous fairways, expansive greens, and bold bunkering, with holes running alongside cliffs, creeks, and dense forests. It is a formula that has served the brand well elsewhere, and the raw landscape at Revelstoke may be the most dramatic canvas it has worked with yet.

Significant Moment For Canadian Golf

From a Canadian perspective, this is a significant moment. Mountain golf in Alberta and British Columbia has long been one of the country's best kept secrets, with courses like Banff Springs, Silvertip, and Greywolf offering scenery that rivals anywhere in the world. What the region has lacked is a true destination resort to tie it all together. Cabot arriving in the Rockies, with the reputation and the standards it brings, signals that mountain golf in western Canada is ready to step onto the global stage.

There is more to the golf than Whitman’s main course. It is confirmed that Cabot will also build The Railyard, a par three short course named in honour of Revelstoke's railway heritage. Both courses will be anchored by a clubhouse with dining, bowling lanes, virtual golf, and shuffleboard. It is a familiar Cabot move, echoing the short courses and putting greens that have become such a draw at their other properties, and a reminder that these resorts are built for groups and downtime as much as for the scorecard.

A Resort That is Unique

At the centre of it all is the new Cabot Revelstoke Mountain Lodge, a 155-room hotel scheduled to open in early 2027. The lodge will house a modern steakhouse and bar, spa and wellness facilities with hot tubs, saunas, fitness centres, and event spaces. The lodge will also house a combined check-in for both golf and heli skiing. The combination of a prestigious heli-skiing lodge that can double as an elite golf resort in the summer is the unique selling point of Cabot Revelstoke. This is a resort built to be played in summer and skied in winter, and the lodge is designed to make switching between the two effortless and memorable.

Alongside the golf and the lodge, Cabot is continuing to sell residential property on the site, with a collection of luxury chalet residences inspired by the ski lodges of the Dolomites and the Alps, the first of which is nearly sold out. This would allow yearlong access to world-class skiing as well as world-class golf, all housed in one of the most stunning and quaint mountain towns in North America.

Can You Play This New Course?

It is worth a note of caution on access. Cabot Revelstoke will be a public course, but tee times will be reserved and prioritised for resort guests, with limited availability for outside players released 30 days in advance. Revelstoke itself sits roughly two hours north of Kelowna International Airport, though many golfers will fly into Calgary instead, which is around four and a half hours east through Banff, Yoho, and Glacier National Park.

The journey from Calgary offers one of the most spectacular drives in the country. That route also happens to pass through some of the finest mountain golf courses in Canada, with Kananaskis, Banff Springs, Silvertip, and Stewart Creek all within easy reach. Rather than a standalone destination, Cabot Revelstoke slots neatly into the wider Canadian Rockies golf trip, a fitting finale to a journey that already ranks among the most underrated in the world. For those willing to make it, Cabot looks to have found yet another extraordinary setting, and western Canada has a new name worth circling on the calendar.
