Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A gentle introduction to the course, the first hole is driveable in certain conditions.
From The Fairway Care must be taken however not to push the drive as two cleverly positioned fairway bunkers will catch any ball heading right.
On The Green
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee A tough, challenging par 4 that could hold it’s own on any links course in Britain.
From The Fairway The drive must be long and accurate and avoid the bunkers on the right hand side of the fairway.
On The Green The second shot normally requires a long iron to a green protected by only one bunker but which is very close the out of bounds fence on the right.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A testing par 3, with the green well protected by bunkers and also the out of bounds will catch any sliced shot.
From The Fairway
On The Green A testing par 3, with the green well protected by bunkers and also the out of bounds will catch any sliced shot.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Another tough par 4, which generally requires a long second shot to a raised green, which tends to throw the ball off to either side.
From The Fairway
On The Green Another tough par 4, which generally requires a long second shot to a raised green, which tends to throw the ball off to either side.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Reminiscent of the 17th hole at Sawgrass, this par 3 is surrounded by the Barry Burn on three sides.
From The Fairway
On The Green Only a well-struck shot with the right club will find this green and anyone scoring three here can be highly pleased.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A short par 4 well protected by fairway bunkers and thick rough on the right hand side.
On The Green A good drive will leave a short iron to a reasonably generous green.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee A tough drive to a narrow fairway well protected by trees on the left hand side and a ditch on the right.
From The Fairway
On The Green The second shot must be threaded between two green side bunkers to a green which slopes from back to front, making putting difficult.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee Trouble waits with gorse bushes on both the left and right hand side of this hole.
From The Fairway
On The Green The second shot is usually a mid iron to a green which is nestling in a hollow. The second shot must not go left as bunkers, gorse and heather await.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Another excellent par 3, the green sits on top of a small hillock,
From The Fairway
On The Green anything missing the green long, short, right or left will roll to the bottom of the slope and leave a very difficult up and down.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee A short par 4 but one which requires a straight drive,
From The Fairway
On The Green once that has been accomplished the second shot is usually a short pitch onto a receptive green.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A challenging drive with gorse, whin and heather on both sides of the fairway.
On The Green The second shot is reasonably straightforward but the green provides the hardest putting to be found anywhere in Carnoustie with a severe slope from back to front, two putts on this green is an excellent result.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A bunker smack in the middle of the fairway will catch the well-struck straight drive, which can prove very frustrating to the player. The second shot is straightforward except if the pin is back left when bunkers have to be carried and the ball landed on a narrow plateau.
On The Green
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee The drive is not too challenging on this par
From The Fairway
On The Green 4 but the second shot is a blind one to a green where only the top of the flag can be seen. Very often a ball will kick awkwardly off one of the slopes and leave the player much further from the pin than he expects.
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee A par 3 of well over 200 yards this shot normally requires a
From The Fairway fairway wood or even a driver into the wind. The ball must not go left as whins and gorse await, anything pushed right will result in a very difficult up and down. Anyone making par 3 here has good reason to be very pleased.
On The Green
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee At 500 yards this is a short par 5 by modern standards.
From The Fairway However the severely contoured fairway means that you will be playing your second shot with the ball either well above or below your feet and this will make it difficult to hit the straight shot required. Two good hits however should get you home and a birdie secured.
On The Green
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee A more straightforward par 3 than the others but still capable of giving the player a nasty shock if he pushes his tee shot too far right where a huge bank of gorse and whin awaits. A well-hit shot with a mid iron, however, should secure a par 3 with no great difficulty.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee One of the great par 4’s of any course at Carnoustie and one which would easily grace the Burnside’s more illustrious neighbour, the Championship course.
From The Fairway The drive must be struck long and straight in order to get close enough to the Barry Burn to allow the player to get home with the second shot. Too far however and the ball will disappear into one of the folds of the burn.
On The Green Once the drive is safely on the fairway the player then has to face a second shot of well over 200 yards crossing the Barry Burn twice in order to reach the green. Although not too difficult if played as a 5 a par 4 here is a magnificent result.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee A classic little par 4 with the green driveable on occasions but the out of bounds fence is an ever present threat on the right hand side of the hole and many a score has been ruined by a sliced tee shot on this hole.
