Exciting Times Ahead: Cabot Collection Invests in Lofoten Links
In a move that is generating a lot of buzz in the golf community, the Cabot Collection has officially announced its strategic investment in Lofoten Links, a stunning golf destination located above the Arctic Circle. Renowned for its breathtaking scenery, Lofoten Links offers a unique golfing experience where players can tee off under the midnight sun during the summer. Not to mention, the magical northern lights dance across the sky in autumn, creating an unforgettable backdrop.
A Match Made in Heaven
Ben Cowan-Dewar, co-founder and CEO of the Cabot Collection, recently shared that visiting Lofoten Links was a life-changing experience for him. He described it as the “most beautiful place” he has ever seen, and who could argue? The majestic mountains and sweeping ocean views create a picture-perfect setting for golf enthusiasts. The course started its journey in the early 1990s as a modest six-hole layout sketched out by local farmer Frode Hov and blossomed into a fully-fledged 18-hole masterpiece by 2015.
This year, Lofoten Links made quite the impression by debuting at No. 88 on GOLF’s prestigious Top 100 Courses in the World list, marking it as a must-visit destination for golfers seeking adventure and natural beauty.
Golfing Under the Midnight Sun
Can you imagine playing a round of golf at 11 PM? Cowan-Dewar experienced this phenomenon during his visit in 2019, taking advantage of the 24-hour daylight that graces this northern getaway from May to October. With such extended hours, golfers can truly say they’ve made the most of their day on the green.
To enhance the overall experience at Lofoten, the investment will focus on upgrading existing amenities, including a diverse array of food and beverage options, as well as cozy accommodations. The ultimate aim is to elevate the overall experience while keeping the tranquil essence of the location intact.
Current Offerings and Future Prospects
A visit to Lofoten Links isn’t simply about the golf; the course currently boasts charming Nordic-style lodges and an inviting on-site restaurant, where visitors can savor delicious local cuisine. For those looking to do more than just golf, outdoor enthusiasts can relish in various activities like horseback riding, hiking, and kayaking, making for an action-packed getaway.
Cowan-Dewar is not stopping there; he has his sights set on potential future developments. Part of the plan could include the consideration of land for additional golf courses, increasing the allure of this remarkable destination. The vision is to create something truly special, just like what was achieved at Cabot Links in Cape Breton.
A Commitment to Excellence
Developing golf in such remote yet picturesque locations is no small feat, requiring immense dedication and hard work. Cowan-Dewar likened these efforts to previous projects in Cape Breton, showcasing the labor of love behind bringing incredible golf experiences to life.
The investment in Lofoten Links signifies a commitment to not only maintain but enhance its identity and character as part of the Cabot Collection. Existing fans of the course can rest assured that the course name will remain unchanged, thus keeping its heritage intact while inviting more golf lovers to discover this enchanting location.
Final Thoughts

As visitors come to bask in its natural beauty and exceptional golfing, the hope is that they’ll create lasting memories in such a unique and magical environment.
