Proudly boasting its status as the world’s fifth oldest golf course, Montrose should be on the schedule for anyone who loves their golfing history. Located to the north of Arbroath on the Angus coast, its flagship 1562 course is a traditional links venue with fairways that undulate a little but not too much, and super-fast greens that often require just the deftest of touches.
If you’ve never experienced the wonders of links golf, Montrose is the ideal place to ignite the love affair that results. You’ll come across sand dunes, deep bunkers, long grass and lots of gorse waiting to trap your wayward drives. The only par-three hole on the front nine, the 3rd, is particularly impressive. Just 137 yards in length yet full of potential dangers. A purely-struck shot is a must, as is the accuracy that goes with it. And if you prefer a less challenging round, try the Broomfield Course, which is shorter but equally enjoyable.
You’ll find a wide range of accommodation options in the region, both in the tranquil countryside and in the towns and cities. Dundee is a popular choice for a base, as are Arbroath and Stonehaven. You can factor Montrose into a golfing tour that features several other local courses, including Monifieth, Carnoustie and Panmure.
