Testimonials

Absolutely first rate and great value! We have just made our third trip with Morton Golf Holidays this month as a couple, and just as for our two previous holidays for our group of 8 in both Scotland and Ireland, Peter, you put together memorable golf holidays. We can't say enough about our experiences. Getting on the Old Course this time was a highlight of the trip, but we enjoyed Crail, Lundin Links and the Castle Course almost as much. Cruden Bay and Fraserburgh would easily have ranked up there as well except that the drizzle made them less enjoyable. Next time we'll pay the extra and get you to order better weather too!

We really like the way you expertly tailored each of our vacations to meet our needs. Your personal visits to all the accommodations, and the fact that you've played all the golf courses really lets you set up exactly what people want in a vacation. As well any time there is a question or a change needed, you go the extra mile to create a wonderful golfing experience for every traveller. We can't wait to plan our next trip!

Carnoustie Golf Links - History

Carnoustie Golf Links - History Golf has been played over the links at Carnoustie since the 1500’s but the present course came into being in 1850 when it was designed by Alan Robertson of St Andrews. Some 20 years later the legendary Old Tom Morris improved and extended the course to 18 holes and in 1926 the famous architect James Braid redesigned the Championship course extensively.

James Braid’s work was universally acclaimed, but it was still felt that Carnoustie Championship course had a weak finish. Prior to the 1937 Open Championship the final 3 holes at Carnoustie were redesigned by James Wright, a local man, and he produced what has come to be regarded as the toughest finishing stretch in golf.

The course as it was in 1937 is much as it is today and the challenge the modern golfer takes on is the one which confronted the player nearly 70 years ago.

Carnoustie is a public links, and the opportunity is there for everyone to play the Championship course. There are many local golf clubs, all of which have playing rights over the course and the clubs themselves have a proud and interesting history.

Carnoustie’s contribution to golf has not just been the Championship course, but also it’s people. In the early 1900’s many young men from Carnoustie emigrated to the United States of America and took with them not only club making skills but golfing talent in abundance. Many golf clubs in the United States can trace a direct line to Carnoustie through the contribution given by these immigrants from Scotland. The most famous coach was Stewart Maiden from Carnoustie who was the first and only teacher of the incomparable Bobby Jones.

Carnoustie Championship course is now in the finest condition it has ever been. Not only does it offer the ultimate challenge to every golfer but it provides a playing quality second to none. The Barry Burn eases it’s way through the final 3 holes, quietly awaiting the shot that is slightly less than perfect. It was there in 1999 that Frenchman Jean Van de Velde lost the chance of being Open Champion and a place in history.
