The Carnoustie Burnside Course is steeped in history and dates back to 1892. It served as a qualifying course for The Open Championship in 1953, notably witnessing Ben Hogan’s qualification for the Championship, a prelude to lifting The Claret Jug on The Carnoustie Championship Course later that very week – the only time ever that Hogan competed in The Open Championship.
This feisty but fun course challenges golfers with its narrow fairways, heather-laden terrain, daunting pot bunkers, and the meandering Barry Burn, a feature integral to several of the challenging par three holes. Greens are small, contoured and hard to hold, especially in dry summer conditions or when the wind gets up.
An excellent links course in its own right, The Carnoustie Burnside Course equals The Carnoustie Championship Course in quality and strategy and leaves you knowing you have played at Carnoustie ‘Golf’s Greatest Test’!
