Panmure Golf Course
Par 70, 6510 yards
Hosted of many national and regional championships in its time. Perhaps less conspicuous than its neighbours, it is one of the true golfing gems of the Angus coast.
The golf course can be fairly difficult for high-handicappers and novices, and low-handicappers will have to give some thought to their positional play. After a gentle start Panmure tightens noticeably at the 3rd. Ben Hogan practised at Panmure prior to the 1853 Open at Carnoustie and the 6th hole of the course was rated in his top 18 holes.
In general, the greens on the course are small and the bunkers are deep. Accuracy is often more important than length and each hole should be played strategically with thought always given to the approach shot. Whins and thick rough abound throughout the course and can destroy a poorly managed game.
Panmure golf course is often overlooked in favour of the more famous Carnoustie courses – however, Panmure is just as rewarding as its illustrious neighbours, and should not be overlooked if you're planning on taking a golfing break in Carnoustie Country.
