Carnoustie Golf Links Championship Course

Host of 2018’s Open Championship won by Francesco Molinari, Carnoustie is a fiendishly difficult links especially when the wind is up.

There’s a strong case for saying that Carnoustie’s Championship course presents the sternest test of golf in the country and is arguably the toughest course on the Open rota.

Set over undulating and supremely firm links land, ditches thread a path through and alongside many holes, out of bounds is an intimidating presence from a number of tees and the perfectly placed bunkers have a magnetic, if unwanted, appeal.

This is a course that examines every element of a player’s game.
