There are few golf courses as feared and revered in the world of professional golf in the way that Carnoustie is. Hosting multiple Open Championships, this is a course of the highest pedigree and one of the world’s ultimate golfing experiences.
With major investment in recent years, there’s more to Carnoustie than ever before, this European Tour and major championship venue is just a short drive from Dundee and about an hour and a half from Edinburgh airport. The Carnoustie Hotel is ideally situated adjacent to the first tee on the Championship Course, and directly behind the 18th green, affording magnificent views across the links towards the Angus coastline.
Everyone knows the Championship Course at Carnoustie, however, you may not be so aware of the other two courses on offer at this historic location, the Burnside and Buddon which together make this a fantastic resort to stay at for a golf break in Scotland.

Carnoustie Championship course is ranked as one of the best courses in Scotland and also has a reputation of being one of the toughest in the world.
The course oozes history with no less than 8 Open Championships played on its fairways and can be a monster from the back tees. Certain landmarks around the course remind you of the historic events that have taken place here, Hogan's Alley on the superb par-5 6th hole, Nicklaus' bunker on the par-4 9th and Miller's bunker on the right of the 18th fairway.
| Par | 72 (71 for the Open) |
|---|---|
| Designed by | Allan Robertson, Old Tom Morris, James Braid |
| Opened for play | 1850 |
| Previously hosted | 7 Open Championships |
| White | 6,948 yards | SSS 75 |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | 6,595 yards | SSS 74 |
| Red | 6,144 yards | SSS 72 |
The second of the 3 courses at Carnoustie Golf Links is the Burnside Course, it is often overshadowed by its Championship neighbour but still manages its fair share of historical moments. Ben Hogan posting 70 to qualifying for the 1953 Open which he went on to win is one of the most famous.
The course is full of character and will challenge golfers of all abilities. One of the toughest holes on the course is the 14th, a par 3 of nearly 230 yards from the back tees, it will have some reaching for their driver if the wind is against.
| Par | 68 |
|---|---|
| Designed by | James Braid |
| Opened for play | 1934 |
| Yellow | 6,028 yards | SSS 70 |

The Buddon is the third course at Carnoustie Links and is also the newest having been originally designed by Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas in 1979.
The course is built on former Ministry of Defence land and after a recent $1 million refurbishment, is now a tougher challenge for golfer's of all abilities.
| Par | 68 |
|---|---|
| Designed by | Peter Aliss and Dave Thomas |
| Opened for play | 1981 |

| Red | 5,035 yards | SSS 69 |
One of the most charming things about Carnoustie is that it is owned by the local council and some local golf clubs. However, in the build-up to the 1999 Open Championship a new hotel was built beside the 1st tee and 18th green. This 4-star hotel is a great place to situate yourself for this most incredible golf pilgrimage and has become an integral part of the image of the course.
Many of the rooms at the four-star hotel look out onto the course and watching the sun go down over the celebrated land is a truly magical experience. The hotel has a nice restaurant that also overlooks the course and does a wonderful breakfast. In fact, you can finish-up your bacon roll and be on the first tee in less than fifty steps!
Eat in the formal Calder's Bistro for a fusion of Mediterranean and Scottish cuisine and relax with a drink in Calder's Bar with a terrace overlooking the 1st and 18th holes of the Championship course at Carnoustie.
First class leisure facilities, including a large swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and gym for those looking to keep their fitness up whilst visiting, or those looking to relax after golf. If you wish to take your stress levels down another notch then you should book yourself into the spa for a treatment, you might need it after a tough round on the Championship course!

We turned the corner to view the hotel and it looked like an old run down whitewashed farm house. On entering the hotel couldn’t have been more wrong. Inside great decor. Staff friendly. room nicely furnished. Very comfortable. Would have no complaints about going back. Sat next to a very famous golfer in the restaurant.

Overall our party enjoyed the experience but the hotel furnishings are well passed their best with the chairs stained and the padding bursting out on the chair arms. The food was very good especially in the Rookery restaurant. We can recommend the fish & chips, excellent. The bathroom in my room was poorly designed with the shower screen opening outwards away from the bath therefore restricting movement around the washbasin. The bed was somewhat cramped, in future I would select a twin bedroom. One of the days our room had not been cleaned but on complaining the manager gave us complementary drinks at the bar.

I used yourgolftravel.com for our annual golf trip, selecting a bed and breakfast package at the Golf Hotel Carnoustie with 2 rounds, one each on the Burnside and the Buddon golf courses.
The courses are both part of the Carnoustie golf links, with the famous Championship course making up the trio of courses. Despite being the lesser known courses to the Championship, all three are on the same links and run alongside each other. Both of the courses are beautifully prepared, both were challenging and rewarding and the conditioning is in line with the Championship Course.
The hotel is in a superb setting for golf fans too. The rooms had 2 double beds, were spacious and clean. The food was good too but we also took advantage of the local restaurants in the village which provided plenty of choice of good quality food at very good prices.
This was our 13th trip away and only the 1st time we used yourgolftravel. I’d score the whole experience 10/10 and this was the best trip we have been on.
Don’t be put off visiting Carnoustie and not playing the Championship course as the Buddon and Burnside are top courses at a fraction of the price.
