Bell Bay Golf Club - Canada
The Bell Bay Golf Club is located by the charming
village of Baddeck on Cape Breton Island. Opened in
1997, the course was designed by leading Canadian
architect Thomas McBroom. Bell Bay runs through the
woods high above the saltwater Bras d'Or Lake, Cape
Breton's inland sea, with splendid views across the
bay named for Alexander Graham Bell. Bell and his
wife Mabel Hubbard Bell had their summer estate,
named Beinn Bhreagh or "beautiful mountain" in
Gaelic, on the shore of Bras d'Or Lake. Built in an
area with a long history of shipbuilding, each of
the holes at Bell Bay is named for a particular
ship. The first hole is named Alexander after the
area's most famous resident and for the first
brigantine built in Baddeck in 1833. The third hole
is named Scupper, after the ship built at Bell's
outdoor laboratories at Beinn Bhreagh, where he
conducted many of his experiments, and which are
visible from the fairway.
