COURSE DETAILS
Carnoustie Course
There are many who believe that the medal course at Carnoustie is
the finest test of championship golf to be found anywhere the game
is played. Allan Robertson, the first player to break 80 around the
Old Course at St Andrews and now recognised as the game’s first
professional golfer, was the man who laid out the original course
back in the middle of the 19th century but inevitably it was
five-times Open Champion James Braid who was called in to revamp
the course in 1926. There can be no finer tribute to this
remarkable Angus links than the role of champions who have won
there. Tommy Armour, Sir Henry Cotton, Gary Player, Tom Watson,
Paul Lawrie and of course the legendary Ben Hogan who won the only
Open Championship he ever played in at Carnoustie golf course in
1953.
