Old Petty: a jewel by Tom Doak will be inaugurated next summer in Scotland

Next August, Scotland will celebrate the opening of a new Golf course which is likely to become one of its most sought-after jewels by fans around the world: it is a course belonging to the Cabot Collection and designed near Inverness by the immense American architect Tom Doak, already author of the Renaissance near Edinburgh. Old Petty, that's its name, will officially open its doors on August 1, 2025.

Serve as guardians
of this remarkable land

This project follows the acquisition of Castle Stuart Golf Links by Cabot in 2022. This route pays homage to Old Petty Church, adjacent to the property, which was established in 1839.

Old Petty will open for a two-month period, from August 1 to September 30, 2025. The course will be open only to those who already have a tee time at Castle Stuart, “ensuring golfers can indulge in a true experience of links, taking advantage of the two golf courses under the umbrella of the new Cabot Highlands”.

Old Petty & Castle Stuart

Green fees at Old Petty are announced at 230 euros, introductory price. Cheaper than at Castle Stuart for which today you have to pay 400 euros to walk on its famous lawn.

“We are truly honored to serve as stewards of this remarkable land and to develop the original vision for the property,” declared Ben Cowan-Dewarthe co-founder and CEO of Cabot. We aim 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 Highland golf landscape. Its design will harmonize perfectly with the natural environment, truly highlighting the land it occupies. »

Tom Doak designed and mapped the Old Petty course with his longtime associate Clyde Johnsonwho led the project. Chris Haspell, a renowned agronomist and shaper who worked on the original Castle Stuart courses, was also involved in the project.

Note that the driving range also has a small course, an addition that has proven to be a success at other Cabot sites such as The Nest in Cabot Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Canada and The Wedge in Cabot Citrus Farms in Florida, USA.

The route is located near the historic Stuart Castle, which will celebrate its 400th anniversary in 2025.

Finally, know that The Cabot Collection is a luxury developer of incomparable golf destinations. Its portfolio includes the award-winning Cabot Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Cabot Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, Cabot Revelstoke in British Columbia, Cabot Citrus Farms in Florida, Cabot Highlands in Scotland and the Cabot Bordeaux in France. Course and resort that Golf Planète had the opportunity to talk about on several occasions after its acquisition by Cabot this year.
