Today we are moving on to the Ingonish area for a 1 night stay at the Keltic Lodge and 2 rounds of golf at Highland Links golf course.

We decided to take the ferry from Englistown which is only a 5 minute cable ferry which is about 20KMS shorter drive. We got on with a bunch of people doing the Cabot trails on bikes. 3 days, not for us.
We stopped at the Clucking Chicken and get hot biscuits for breakfast for the next 2 days.

After getting our room, we had enough time to hike the trail behind the Keltic Lodge. Middle Head is about 5km return. Great hike with beautiful views. A few ups and downs but nothing too hard.
Headed to Hightland links for our Sunday afternoon golf round. The have a special on Sunday after 1:30 which includes 2 rounds and a power cart. A great course. I lost a few too many golf balls but still had a great time. Lots of very interesting golf holes and the course was in great shape. Some people were walking the course but it would be a challenge with the hills and the distance between the holes.
It is ranked 16th in Canada according to golf digest.

Many steep hills with a few blind shots |
Back at the hotel
For supper we stayed at the lodge and went to the pub for burgers. The was a man playing and singing local tunes which was good. After supper we walked around the property and called it a night.
