Stunning course with greens and fairways impeccable. Service to cost not great with only a short game practice area and no one greeting you on first tee which I expected for £300 but still, a phenomenal track.

Good setup, Burnside is a cracking course for being in the shadow of the Championship Course.

Worth the visit

Recently travelled up to play Carnoustie as part of a trio of courses in the region. Having played the Open here and with the Alfred Dunhill Links being prepared it was in good condition, and we were fortunate the weather was kind.

The course was enjoyable to play, generally in good condition, and greens played true as you would expect. The round took 6 hours, which was largely because we were held up at countless holes and you would expect a better pace of play to be enforced, even though it was easy to lose a ball it should not be the case that you are waiting at most of the back 9 tee boxes given there are course rangers.

I personally felt it lacked the 'wow' factor that I thought it may have, and it is a shame that you are only allowed simulators to practice - as well as have to pay £5 for trolleys which after a £200 charge to play the course felt a little cheeky.

Maybe I had expected more, but it felt as though the course history was more of an attraction than the course itself. The last four holes were indeed a card wrecker and the only solace was that many better players than I have had their scorecard ruined by them. Even though it was disappointing it was actually still enjoyable to be challenged by them and they were probably the highlight despite not scoring!

If you are in the region it would be worth playing, but I would have to say compared to Kingsbarns (admittedly a different style course) I felt the overall level fell a little short for the money paid.

The staff were very friendly though, in both the clubhouse and the main hotel, so it was just a shame that it didn't quite deliver in other areas.

Links meets Heath

A real mix of holes, Links and breeze, tough driving holes and accurate placement needed, followed by a selection of heath before finishing back on the sea. Not what I was expecting, perhaps more location based on the pricing but well worth a visit if taking in the area.

"If you get the opportunity"

Played the Buddon and the Burnside. Only difference to the Championship Course is the length and the cost!! Fortunately we were signed on by a member which vastly reduced the costs!!
