Carnoustie Golf Links
Carnoustie is one of the great venues in championship golf. It is simply a ‘must’ for the avid player for, as Hogan said, “No player’s experience can be complete without playing Carnoustie.” The Open Championship was held at Carnoustie for the 7th time in 2007 when Irishman Padraig Harrington proved to be a popular winner.
Kingsbarns Golf Links
Six miles south of St Andrews lies Kingsbarns, the newest of Scottish links land golfing venues. Indeed it may well be the last true links to be developed in Scotland. In fact Kingsbarns golf origins go back some 200 years when it was home to a nine-hole course and golf club. The new revival is being heralded as a truly spectacular and worthy addition to the legendary St Andrews portfolio. Embracing the sea as it does, the layout is superb with each hole offering a great sea view, and seven of them actually playing over or alongside the sea. Kingsbarns blends together all the advantages of a modern course with the traditional features of an old links course.
