Carnoustie Championship

Description:

Often ranked as one the best golf courses in the world, The Carnoustie Championship Course is the ultimate test of Links golf and features the toughest closing stretch of golf holes.

The first record of golf played on this Links land dates to 1527. In 1842, a 10-hole course was designed by Alan Robertson followed by an 18-hole course by Old Tom Morris in 1857.

James Braid extended the layout in 1926 which is essentially the Links found today. As you progress through the course, every step is worth savouring, you will walk the old Links taking the same delight in the challenges of this incredible course that have tested golfers for hundreds of years, encountering unique features and hazards synonymous and unique to these famous Scottish Links.

The Carnoustie Championship Course is wonderfully exposed to the elements, with wind directions designed to keep you thinking each step of the way.

Voted the World’s Best Golf Course in 2019, venue for eight Open Championships, three Senior Opens and two Women’s Opens , Carnoustie is undoubtedly one of, if not the most, memorable golf courses that you’ll ever play, not just in Scotland but in all of golf. This bucket list venue, also known as the toughest venue on The Open rota, is a course that challenges each person who visits and is rightly known as Golf’s Greatest Test.
