Preview Play on Tom Doak's "Old Petty" at Cabot Highlands
American Tom Doak is one of the most renowned golf course architects worldwide. So far, his design artistry can only be experienced on a single course in Europe, the Grand Saint-Emilion Golf Club in France. From August, the master designer's second course in Europe will await its first guests. In the north of Scotland, near the city of Inverness and the famous Loch Ness, lies the Cabot Highlands resort, part of the Canadian Cabot group. The first course, Castle Stuart by Gil Hanse, has already received multiple awards and is considered one of the top 100 courses on the planet. Phil Mickelson won the Scottish Open on this course in 2013. As part of the so-called Preview Play, a round of golf before the official opening, selected All4Golf customers now have the opportunity to play these two top courses – and of course, enjoy a little Scottish way of life.
