Cabot Highlands

The Cabot Highlands is at the heart of the Highlands, offering modern links golf at the world-renowned Castle Stuart Golf Links and the newly built Old Petty course. The two courses are quite different and challenge various parts of your game in there own separate ways.

From the moment you arrive, you’re met with sweeping views across the water to the Black Isle, rolling fairways framed by natural dunes, and a sense of serenity that only the Scottish Highlands can provide. Each hole at Cabot Highlands tells its own story — strategic bunkering, undulating greens, and panoramic vistas combine to create a course that’s as visually stunning as it is exhilarating to play.

Golf course overview

Castle Stuart Golf Links Ranked inside the top ten in Scotland and ranked 54th in the world by Top 100 Courses, Castle Stuart Golf Links is a modern links masterpiece and one of the best courses in the Scottish highlands. Weaving along the Moray Firth with panoramic sea views and dramatic elevation changes that showcase the Highlands' natural beauty.

Old Petty course A new Tom Doak design, inspired by the charm of links golf, the Old Petty course is a new gem. Designed to carve its way through the rolling inland terrain, with rugged contours, natural bunkering and an authentic minimalist style. Most of the interesting visuals at Old Petty appear within the course as opposed to its sister course where the sea plays a focus for the main part.
