St Andrews
Carnoustie Golf Links
Angus, Scotland
BY RUSSELL KIRK
The Championship Course at Carnoustie is a 45 minute drive north of St Andrews. It has been to The Open on eight occasions, most recently in 2018 when Francesco Molinari continued his stellar season by winning his first major. Ben Hogan won here in 1953. It was his only appearance in The Open but he left a unique legacy for his play on No. 6 named thereafter as 'Hogan's Alley'. Carnoustie is considered by many to be the most challenging layout in the rota due largely to its demanding finish: No. 16 - 248 yard par 3; No. 17 - 461 yard par 4; No. 18 - 499 yard par 4. Ironically it was club member and local accountant James Wright who in 1930 designed the famous finish. His improbable stamp is found in the company of James Braid's major redesign of 1926; Old Tom Morris' extension to eighteen holes in 1870; and the original layout by Alan Robertson in 1850. Carnoustie is regularly ranked among the world's top 25 clubs.
