An experience best described as golf as it once was, Cabot Highlands harkens back to a simpler era of the game. It is home to two, 18-hole courses — World Top 100 Castle Stuart and our newest routing, Old Petty, which celebrated it’s grand opening in May 2026.
Hugging the shoreline of the Moray Firth, the rugged and natural landscape is comprised of vast expanses of gorse, broom, heather, and sea marram creating the perfect canvas for unrivaled golf in the Highlands of Scotland. 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 is a modern yet traditional-feeling Scottish links course set dramatically along the Moray Firth, where wide, sweeping fairways run atop coastal bluffs and greens appear to hang over the sea. Designed by Gil Hanse and Mark Parsinen, it blends classic early-20th-century links aesthetics with contemporary playability, using the natural and rugged landscape, rumpled terrain, and striking “infinity-edge” greens to create both beauty and strategic challenge. With varied holes, constant ocean views and Highlands scenery, and a thrilling final stretch, it stands as one of Scotland’s most scenic and thoughtfully crafted courses.
