Panmure Golf Club: Just a mile or so along the road from Carnoustie, Panmure is one of the lesser known gems of Scottish golf in this area. Sometimes referred to as the Barry Links, or Panmure Barry, the course is set back a mile or two from the sea in a rather rural and occasionally wooded environment. But on show here are all the attributes of a classic seaside links course ... bar the sea that is.
The nicely undulating terrain featuring low dune-like ridges, is home to plenty of humps, bumps and hollows. Firm sandy-subsoil fairways lead you to often large curvaceous greens. The early and later holes are partly tree-lined, but relatively open terrain and attendant gorse bushes and heather feature strongly in the middle part of the course. Water ditches are only in play on a couple of holes - at the tricky par-4 12th and the slightly longer par-4 13th ... good course management is essential at both.
At the far end of this out-and-back layout (par-4 12th green and par-4 13th tee) you will bump up against the Medal course of neighbouring Monifieth Links. On Panmure's homeward nine, the same trains that rattle past Monifieth and Carnoustie also run alongside one or two of Panmure's holes (not least the long doglegging par-5 14th).
The occasional train is unlikely to disturb your enjoyment of this otherwise quiet, natural and thoroughly pleasant golf layout. From the 16th onward the wonderfully distinctive frontage of Panmure's clubhouse draws ever nearer, and so too the welcoming 19th hole.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends (Saturdays after 3pm).
Must book in advance. Handicap required.
