Arriving to the 3rd tee at Cabot Highlands’s Old Petty course, it’s time to settle in and hit a shot. The course’s toughest par-3 plays downhill to a narrow green with runoffs in every direction and, oh, there’s a 400-year-old castle on the left.
Castle Stuart, built in 1625 by James Stuart, 1st Earl of Moray, isn’t really in play but demands a few moments to marvel at its architecture, topped by a spire now familiar as the resort’s insignia.
