Montrose (Medal)
Golf has been played on these links since 1562. That alone should
tempt any golfer but this is as traditional as links golf gets.
The design stamp of approval belongs to Old Tom Morris and
Willie Park Jr., but you get the feeling this land had always been
destined to host golf holes. It’s all in the rhythm and sway of the
dunes and the firm fairways streaking between nests of gorse.
You need to play smart golf here, both from the tee (there are
some blind shots) and especially on approaches to large greens
where you can find yourself a long way from the pin. You start
beside the shoreline which offers the best views before returning
slightly inland. There’s a second 18 here and the value is excellent
for a course that hosted Final Qualifying for the 2007 Open
Championship at Carnoustie.
