About the Course

Known as 'Car-nasty' among professional golfers, Carnoustie Golf Links is arguably the most demanding links course in the world. The Barry Burn meanders through the course, crossing the 18th fairway twice to create one of the most dramatic finishing holes in championship golf. Host to eight Open Championships, Carnoustie has broken the spirit of legends. Yet it is a fair challenge — every shot has a landing zone and a way to play the hole. You simply have to find it.
