Course Description

While Carnoustie is rightly famous for its testing Championship course, mention should also be made of the Burnside Links course which occupies the linksland beside it. It is a genuine links course that is both testing and fun to play. The fairways are narrow and corrugated bordered by heather, rough whins and the strategically placed pot bunkers that are a trademark of all three Carnoustie layouts. The greens are generally small, sloping and difficult to hold, particularly in dry summer conditions. Add to this the seemingly ever present Carnoustie breezes, and you have a course that plays harder than the scorecard suggests. Par 68, 6028 yards
