Angus & Dundee

There is a gentle beginning on Panmure Golf Club's Open Qualifying course before it opens up beyond the pine forest.

Monifieth Golf Links (Medal) is a historic public links on the Angus coastline, established in 1845 by Allan Robertson, the world's first professional golfer. Serving as an Open Championship Final Qualifying venue when the Open is held at nearby Carnoustie, this undulating par-72 layout is an essential addition to any Scottish links golf holiday.

Did you know that Montrose Golf Links is considered to be the seventh oldest course in the world? Records state that golf has been played here since 1562 but its mighty neighbour Carnoustie has long overshadowed it.

On the outskirts of Dundee, lies Downfield Golf Club, a lovely James Braid-designed parkland course little known outside Scotland.

Edzell Golf Club is located at the Gateway to the Grampians... it's one of Scotland's lesser-known golfing delights.

Forfar Golf Club at Cunninghill in Angus is the world's first golf course designed as an 18-hole layout from inception, built by Old Tom Morris in 1871. Thirteen original greens remain in play across 80 acres of rig-and-furrow heathland, 22km from Carnoustie on Scotland's east-coast golf corridor.

Home to Arbroath Artisan Golf Club, Old Tom Morris designed Arbroath Golf Links in 1877. This little known course lies a mere five miles up the North Sea coast from Carnoustie.

The Burnside course at Carnoustie Golf Links has been used in the past for qualifying when the Open has been held on the Championship course...

Opened for play in 1981, the 18-hole Buddon course at Carnoustie Golf Links was upgraded in 2014 with the removal of the first hole, the merging of holes 9 and 10 to create a new par five, and the introduction of two new par fours.
