Play Old Petty—a brand new Tom Doak design and the latest addition to the Cabot Collection—before it’s officially open.

This is a unique opportunity for a group of 4 or 8 golfers to play the brand new course at Cabot Highlands as part of advanced preview play—and we’ve turned it into an epic 10-day itinerary.
Start up north in the Inverness area, with a few rounds at both Cabot Highlands courses plus a mix of other known hits and hidden gems in the area. Then, dot the coastline down towards Aberdeen, with three more rounds at courses that belong on your bucket list.
With the option to tack on a second sneak peek of Old Petty, a round at nearby Nairn Dunbar, and a 36-hole day at Royal Aberdeen and Murcar Golf Links, this itinerary can span anywhere from six to nine rounds total—with as much downtime as you’d like to explore what else these regions have to offer.
The Old Petty Preview is tentatively scheduled for August 14–22, 2025.
Interested in the trip, but can’t do these exact dates? Want to play Old Petty, but have a few other highlands courses on your bucket list? Just get in touch—we’d love to customize this to your group.
