Want to play the brand-new second offering at Cabot Highlands? We can offer you that chance on the NCG Top 100s Tour…

The Old Petty Course at Cabot Highlands is one of the newest golf courses in Scotland, but how do you get to play the eagerly anticipated Tom Doak design?

The Old Petty Course has become the second 18-hole layout at the venue, located in the Scottish Highlands. It has joined the Castle Stuart Course, which played host to the Scottish Open on the DP World Tour for a number of years.

The new layout at Cabot Highlands sits next to the historic Old Petty Church, which gives the course its name. You can also enjoy views of the 400-year-old Castle Stuart from the majority of holes as well.

The course has been designed by Tom Doak and Clyde Johnson, ensuring it is a layout that blends into the natural surroundings seamlessly.

Although there was the opportunity to play it during the preview window in August and September 2025, the Old Petty Course only opens properly at the start of May 2026.

Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…

Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.

He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.

Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…

Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
