The Cabot Collection has announced that Old Petty, the much-anticipated Tom Doak design at Cabot Highlands, will officially open for preview play on August 1st, 2025.
Following the acquisition of Castle Stuart Golf Links by Cabot in 2022, plans were revealed to create a new eighteen-hole course named Old Petty. This course pays homage to Old Petty Church, adjacent to the property, which was established in 1839.
Old Petty will open for preview play for a two-month window from August 1st to September 30th, 2025. Old Petty will offer a walking-only experience throughout preview play. The course will be open only to those who have an existing tee time at Castle Stuart, ensuring that golfers can indulge in a true links experience, enjoying both golf courses under the new Cabot Highlands umbrella.
Old Petty will offer an authentic links experience, complementing its renowned neighbour, Castle Stuart.
Preview play green fees at Old Petty are listed at £190. With Castle Stuart green fees priced at £330 for eighteen holes, preview play at Old Petty offers a unique opportunity to experience one of Scotland’s finest courses at an introductory rate.
The grand opening of Old Petty will be in Spring 2026, with bookings to be announced in 2025.
“We are truly honoured to serve as stewards of this remarkable land and to carry forward the original vision for the property,” said Ben Cowan-Dewar, co-founder and CEO of Cabot.
“Our goal is to create unforgettable memories in magical places, and there are few places in the world more awe-inspiring than the Scottish Highlands.”
“Old Petty, guided by the vision of Tom Doak, will be a remarkable addition to the Highlands' golfing landscape. Its design will harmonise beautifully with the natural surroundings, truly elevating the land it occupies.”
