The Lakes THELAKESGOLFCLUB.CA Last but not least on this tour of Cape Breton, the Lakes is a Graham Cooke-designed course offers spectacular views of both water and rolling hills. It also boasts “awesome golf at awesome prices,” a welcome respite to some from other pricier options in the area. It is also just 15 minutes from Sydney, the location of the major island airport. Stay for the night at the nearby Birches Country Inn (thebirchescountryinn.ca), which offers stay-and-play packages. No matter where you are on Cape Breton Island, you will leave with an unforgettable experience. It is truly one of a kind. vsga.org J U LY /A U G U ST 2 0 16 | V I R G I N I A G O L F E R 35
