just back from playing the championship course for the 2nd time.
course in excellent condition again, greens were good condition but a little bit slower than they were the last time i played but ok cos there were some tough pin positions which could have seen a lot of balls running of greens. lol.
seniors open gets played there in 2 or 3 weeks
all said, a great test of golf.
love this course.

Golf up North
Played The 2nd course The Burnside twice. Good test of golf not overly long but still a good test in 25 mile/hr winds.The Links was in great condition well prepared and a very good test of golf. Received a warm welcome by all the course personnel and being announced on the 1st tee was a nice touch. Course guide was very comprehensive with yardages from every tee to all hazards etc
Bunkers were tricky, challenging and costly shots wise which is way they should be.
The greens were not overly fast but due to the wind conditions were about right. Ball ran true on the greens. Fairway and aprons were well prepared.
Some of the raised greens were very challenging with some landing areas. Rough wasn’t as bad as I expected, Wild shots off the tee were penalised but generally you could find your golf ball
A great test of golf and a must for the golf connoisseur.
Cannot wait to play the course again.

Tough course keeping you alert on every shot which leaves you mentally drained before you've even hit the 9th hole. Don't be fooled, this is definitely one of the hardest courses in the world.

I'm just back from playing Carnoustie this weekend, I went with 6 other friends and we all took the 3 round package for an amazing £165.
Buddon - A fantastic short course, lots of fun par 3's and a great introduction to links golf. I actually enjoyed it more than the Burnside but that was most likely down to the weather. The condition was superb exactly what I'd expected at Carnoustie.
Burnside - We played this in gale force winds which made it challenging to say the least however did not take away from the enjoyment, condition wise it was again spot on, fast true greens. Many of the holes, especially 9,14 and 17 would not have looked out of place on the Championship course.
Championship Course - Stunning! It was every bit as good as I'd imagined it would be and fair to boot as the rough was well down (or so I though) when we played it which helps. The rough being reasonable meant that play although not fast was consistent and all 7 of us enjoyed our round.
The atmosphere around the place was great due to the history of the place and everything had a qualify feel. The free stroke saver and pitch mark repairer, tees, pencil and bag given to you before you start is a nice touch too.
We stayed locally in Hawthorne Cottage self catering so I cant say about the hotel facilities. Our trip cost us just over £200 for golf and accommodation and in that respect it cannot be beat for value when you consider what you're getting.
The only negative I have about the place was a lack of driving range?!? At Carnoustie, an open venue!! I couldn't quite believe it. There is a practice area near to the Burnside course but you have to use your own balls and how can you collect them if there are 2 or 3 folk hitting driver at you? Strange. Apparently there is no proper range as the members do not want the noise.... strange when its next to an army firing range. That said we went to a Range locally at Ballumbie Castle Golf Club which was ideal and about 15 mins away.
I would and will return many more times hopefully.
