Destination Golf - June 2018 * | Page 40

Tom Watson at Carnoustie GC Panmure, Monifieth and the Carnoustie Championship course, while staying at the Carnoustie Golf Course Hotel for five nights. Break that down and you’ll find sensational value at every turn. Carnoustie Country may not boast the clusters of world famous courses you’ll find in St Andrews, Ayrshire or along the Golf Coast, east of Edinburgh, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t exceptional golf on tap. There’s no point mentioning all 34 courses but a few that jump out are Blairgowrie (two majestic heathland courses overwhelmed by pine and birch trees), Forfar (a James Braid gem) and Letham Grange (a modern Donald Steel parkland). All three are in the Destination Golf Top 100 Scottish Courses (indeed, 12 of the 34 courses make our list) and each of the 34 will give you a golf experience to remember. 40 Destination Golf .TRAVEL You simply have to factor in all the different ingredients to create the perfect package… very much like what they’re doing at the Gin Bothy.
