Golf as it Once Was
Currently home to the Castle Stuart Golf Links, Cabot Highlands will soon expand its golf offerings with the addition of a second 18-hole course, Old Petty, open for preview play in August 2025 and now available to book.
An experience best described as golf as it once was, Cabot Highlands harkens back to a simpler era of the game.
Hugging the shoreline of the Moray Firth, the rugged and natural landscape is comprised of vast expanses of gorse, broom, heather, and sea marram. Tightly framed vistas combine the immediacy of natural surrounds with far-stretching views, creating at once a sense of grounding and grandeur. Manicured playing surfaces and natural rugged vegetation come together in a design reminiscent of golf’s transitional period from 1890 to 1935.
Castle Stuart
From infinity edge greens to rumpled fairways, natural bunkers, and spectacular open views, Castle Stuart offers an experience that is truly “of the place” and yet of a different era. Picture wayward shots finding thin wispy fescue or pockets of bare sand where balls are easily found and recoveries manageable.
Old Petty
Our second 18-hole course designed by acclaimed golf course architect Tom Doak, will open for Preview Play in 2025. Playing on a pristine piece of land surrounding the 400-year old Castle, Old Petty will incorporate natural contours, meandering through hillsides and expansive open land with several holes along the water.
