Carnoustie Golf Links is an iconic, world-leading golf destination in Scotland and home to Golf’s Greatest Test. Golf has been played at the Links since the 16th century and it was Carnoustie natives who went on to establish the Professional Golfer’s Associations of America and Australia. We look forward to warmly welcoming you to play our fantastic three courses, The Championship Course, The Burnside Course and The Buddon Course. The Championship Course played host to The 147th Open in 2018, with Francesco Molinari becoming the Champion Golfer of the Year. The Championship Course has hosted eight Open Championships, two Women's Opens and two Senior Open making it one of the very few to have done so in the UK. It is one of the three courses used for the annual Dunhill Links. In 2019, the Championship Course was named the World's Best Golf Course at the World Golf Awards. The Burnside Course oozes character and from the back tees is a splendid test of golf. It was here in 1953 where the great Ben Hogan shot 70 to help him qualify for the Open Championship which he subsequently won.
