Castle Stuart gets new owners... and a second course!

Castle Stuart Golf Links has new owners.  

The acclaimed former Scottish Open host venue, located just outside Inverness on the banks of the Moray Firth, has been acquired by renowned golf course operator and developer Cabot for an undisclosed sum.

Per the purchase agreement, the destination will be renamed Cabot Highlands and will soon receive a second championship-standard golf course to be designed by Tom Doak.

Planning for the course will begin in the autumn with construction slated to start in 2023 with an estimated completion date of 2024. A short course is also currently in development and expected to open in 2023.
