Castle Stuart at Cabot Highlands occupies a spectacular position above the Moray Firth, close to Inverness. The course moves between the shoreline and higher terraces, providing expansive views across the water, with the historic Castle Stuart and distant Highland hills adding drama to the setting.

Wide fairways encourage ambitious driving, but deceptive angles, bold contours and carefully shaped bunkers make the best route less obvious than it first appears. Greens perched close to the water strengthen the sense of coastal theatre throughout the round. A multiple host of the Scottish Open, Castle Stuart combines modern flair with the natural beauty of the Highlands.
