Montrose ( 1562 )
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 across twisting , buckling terrain . 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 .
Early holes cling to the shoreline and these offer the best views – the 2nd and 3rd holes are magnificent while the par-5 6th streaks above the beach – before turning 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 . It also recently hosted the EuroPro ( 2017 -2019 ).
