The skills of the architect and the whims of Mother Nature combined to create a fabulous 18-hole course at Panmure back in 1845, making this one of the oldest golf clubs in the world. If you like the sound of tight fairways, tension-filled carries and fast, undulating greens, this is going to be perfect for you. In 1953, the great Ben Hogan played several rounds at Panmure in order to acclimatise for the Open Championship at Carnoustie, where he won what turned out to be his one and only title here.
The second hole is one of the most interesting. A par-five that seems relatively straightforward from the tee, it often plays longer than its yardage because of the varying winds. There’s out of bounds to worry about, and as if that wasn’t enough the fairway gets narrower as you go along. Accuracy, so often a fey word in Scottish links golf, is definitely the order of the day.
Panmure is close to several other excellent golf courses, including Monifieth and Carnoustie, so it can easily be included on a golfing trip to remember. Scotland’s sunniest city, Dundee, is just a few miles away, so there’s plenty to see and do if you have a day away from the links. Be sure to check out the V&A Dundee and the excellent Discovery Point.
