Golf courses in Angus

Angus holds a special place in golf history as home to Carnoustie, regularly ranked among the world's most challenging championship courses. The Championship Course has hosted The Open Championship eight times, producing legendary moments including Jean Van de Velde's dramatic collapse in 1999 and Padraig Harrington's triumph in 2007.

Beyond Carnoustie, Angus offers exceptional links golf at Montrose Golf Links - the fifth oldest golf course in the world, where golf has been played since 1562 - and Panmure Golf Club, where Ben Hogan practiced before winning The Open at Carnoustie in 1953.

The Angus coastline provides classic Scottish links terrain: windswept dunes, gorse-lined fairways, and the ever-present challenge of the North Sea breeze. Inland, courses like Forfar and Kirriemuir offer parkland alternatives. The summer months bring the best weather, though hardy golfers appreciate the authentic links experience year-round.
