Tom Doak's Old Petty opened in July 2025 next door to Castle Stuart and immediately joined the do-both conversation: quieter lines, wilder greens, and a routing that lets the land—not the framing—do the talking.

Where Castle Stuart flatters, Old Petty asks questions: half the approach shots are best played along the ground, and the green complexes create short-game puzzles Doak fans will recognize from Pacific Dunes.

Rumpled from day one

Tom Doak's Old Petty opened in 2025 looking like it had sat beside the Moray Firth for a century—rumpled fairways, greens folded into the dune line, morning mist doing the set dressing. A par 71 that plays every bit of it once the wind gets a vote.

Caddie notes
01Land approaches short and let them release—flying it to the flag is fighting the design.
02Study each green's exits before you chip; the wrong miss side costs half a shot every time.
03Buy the 36-hole ticket and play this one second—it rewards a warmed-up short game.
