<\/p>\nAnother major golf resort is coming to Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n
Cabot has announced plans for Cabot Wilds, a 2,500-acre development in Collingwood Corner, just outside Oxford in Cumberland County.<\/p>\n
The centrepiece will be an 18-hole golf course designed by Canadian architect Jeff Mingay, running through forests, blueberry fields and along the River Philip.<\/p>\n
The development will also include dining, residential properties and other outdoor recreation.<\/p>\n
Cabot says golfers are expected to begin playing the course in 2027.<\/p>\n
The project is being developed in partnership with Nova Scotia businessman John Bragg and his family, founders of Oxford Frozen Foods.<\/p>\n
It will become Cabot\u2019s second major destination in Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n
The company established its reputation in Inverness, Cape Breton, where it operates Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs, along with the shorter Nest course, accommodations and other resort amenities.<\/p>\n
The Oxford announcement also comes less than a year after another proposed Cabot expansion in Cape Breton was rejected.<\/p>\n
Cabot had proposed building an 18-hole course and golf shop on part of West Mabou Beach Provincial Park.<\/p>\n
The plan faced significant opposition from residents and environmental groups before the province announced in November 2025 that it would not move forward.<\/p>\n
Premier Tim Houston said at the time the proposal was not in the best interests of Nova Scotians.<\/p>\n
Cabot Wilds is instead being built on privately owned land in Cumberland County.<\/p>\n
