Cabot has announced its next destination — Cabot Wilds — in Nova Scotia, where the brand got its start with Cabot Cape Breton. The new site, through which the lovely River Philip serpentines, is on the mainland, in Collingwood Corner near the small town of Oxford, where co-developer and landowner John Bragg built an empire that began with blueberries and Oxford Frozen Foods. With completion targeted for the end of 2027, Cabot Wilds will ultimately be a 2,500-acre golf resort with dining experiences, a recreation pavilion, racquet sports facilities and residential real estate.
Tabbed with designing the course is Toronto-based architect Jeff Mingay, whose restoration/renovation work in Canada includes Victoria Golf Club, The Derrick Club, Kelowna G&CC, Cutten Fields, Rivermead and Beaconsfield. This will be Mingay’s first solo-design, and he has assembled a team that includes Devon Bjarnason, Clive Henshaw, Bryan Ohnysty, Paul Crough, Mike Rossi and more to help him bring the course to life.
Recently, our editor Jason Logan and Kody McWilliams of Fourth Frame Films travelled to Oxford for an upcoming story on the next Cabot course and the close-knit crew that is digging it out of the dirt. The story will be told in print and video later this fall.
