Cabot Cliffs is my favorite course at Cabot because…
It felt truly wild and the combination of holes along the coast and others in the woods are tough to beat. Plus, can you beat having a beer sitting in the chairs after 18?

Don’t fight with the contour of the greens. Our architects—Coore and Crenshaw—want you to use the contour of the putting surfaces to help move the ball towards the hole.
