DESCRIPTION:

Carnoustie Golf Links, located on the east coast of Scotland, is one of the most challenging courses in the world and has hosted The Open Championship eight times, most recently in 2018. The Championship Course, known for its tough layout, has a par of 72 and stretches 7,421 yards. Established in 1842, the course is famed for its narrow fairways, deep bunkers, and unpredictable coastal winds. Some of golf’s most dramatic moments have taken place here, including Jean Van de Velde’s infamous collapse in 1999. Padraig Harrington (2007) and Francesco Molinari (2018) are among the Open champions crowned at Carnoustie.

Easily accessible from the A92, Carnoustie is near the city of Dundee, with local landmarks including Glamis Castle and the Angus coastline, making it a must-visit destination for golf enthusiasts.

Fantastic course played on a perfect day

I had the pleasure of playing here on a beautiful, calm, sunny day and as a consequence thought the course was absolutely lovely (even managed to birdie the Par 3).

The first is a bit daunting with OOB all down the left and the starter and all the other waiting golfers watching your every move but once off from there the course winds its way along the coast and back again with enough distance between the fairways to give you a good feeling of space.

The fairways were rolling and the greens big and fast (and well protected by bunkers!) and the rough was pretty light so the experience was a great one.

If there was a downside to playing here it is that the clubhouse facilities were a bit 'stuffy', the practice facilities were only okay and the price was steep (but the course was still fully booked so they must have it about right).

Would I go back - definitely!
