Andrews Golf Tours Proudly Present - Carnoustie.
Carnoustie can be incorporated into your Scotland Golf
Vacation.
Golf
at Carnoustie dates back to the 1520s - a time when golf
was played by locals along the sandy sub-soil and open,
rolling terrain of the Scottish east coast. Allan
Robertson laid out the first 10 holes in 1842 while 25
years later, old Tom Morris added a further eight. James
Braid added many new bunkers and redesigned greens in
the 1920s to make Carnoustie a real championship test.
Carnoustie, known as the Toughest Course in World
Championship Golf has been the platform for many
dramatic Opens with golfing legends such as Tommy
Armour, Henry Cotton, Ben Hogan and Gary Player winning
golf's greatest prize.
In recent years, the Carnoustie Championship course,
often rated among the top three golf courses in the
world, has returned to world-prominence as the host of
the Scottish Open in 1995 and 1996 and the venue for the
1999 Open Championship. |
