Abstract/Contents:Profiles Highlands Links in Cape Breton Island, Canada. Focuses on the effects of the extensive renovations projects, stating that "prior to restoration work getting under way in 1995, the Stanley Thompson-designed layout saw about 15,000 rounds played each year in a season which spanned from late May to mid-October. A steady increase in the number of rounds played has been experienced since the 1997 reopening, and the 2000 season saw just under 27,000 rounds played." Discusses current problems at the golf course, including dust from golf carts and drainage problems. Also states that "as part of the criteria the golf course met to achieve its Audubon status, it offered itself as a habitat for wildlife, but some of its animal tenants will occasionally misbehave" including moose attacking flagsticks. Also discusses the course's surrounding, stating that "situated on the island's Middlehead Peninsula, a tremendous view of the Atlantic Ocean is offered."
