One of the most famous names in world golf and the venue for several Open Championships, Carnoustie Golf Links is surely too iconic and too celebrated for any trip organiser to ignore. There are three excellent courses to be found here, but the Championship Course is usually the one on everyone’s wish-list. Here is where you can play where the greats played, where you can experience their many triumphs and their occasional disasters along the way.
Located in the county of Angus and just across the bay from St Andrews, Carnoustie is a venue that rewards accuracy from the tee shot. It offers a test for all players, which of course it should. After all, it’s regularly named as one of the 30 best courses to be found anywhere in the world. If you like being a bit nervous as you tee the ball up, you’re going to love the par-5 6th, otherwise known as Hogan’s Alley. It’s long, often plays into the wind and if the fairway bunkers don’t get you the out of bounds down the left just might!
If you’re considering a golf trip to Scotland’s east coast and you want to include Carnoustie on the itinerary, you’ll be pleased to know it’s in the ideal location for the experience. It’s just a short drive to the vibrant and exciting city of Dundee, and it’s within easy reach of a number of other highly popular courses, including of course several at St Andrews.
