The majestic Carnoustie Championship Course is just one of the many sparkling jewels from an overflowing treasure chest of superb golfing gems, which lie scattered throughout one of the world’s finest, and as yet, comparatively undiscovered golfing regions.

Local folklore maintains that the stretch of rugged Scottish links land on which the majestic Carnoustie Championship course stands today, was being used for playing golf some fifty years before Columbus discovered America.

While there are certainly indications that golf was first played at Carnoustie as early as 1427, documented evidence confirms the game was officially being played there around 1527.Local records also reveal that the Carnoustie Golf Club was first formed in 1839 and three years later the first official clubhouse was established in a local Carnoustie Inn.
