Forfar
Undulating
wooded heathland course - 18 holes, 6066 yards,
SSS 69, Par 69 (Ladies SSS 72, Par 72). Although
this is an inland course the undulating fairways
combine links type layout with generous grassy lies.This
compact golf course is in the heart of picturesque
Angus and provides the ideal test of golf for the
amateur golfer. The original course was laid out
by four time Open Champion Old Tom Morris of St
Andrews in 1871 with alterations being made in 1926
by James Braid.One of the most difficult holes is
undoubtedly the 12th, a 444 yard par 4, but the
412 yard 15th is suitably named "Braids Best"
after the five time Open Champion.
More
recently Stuart Wilson, who in June 2004 won the Amateur
Championship at St Andrews on the occasion of the 250th
Anniversary of the R & A. became Managing Secretary
of the Club. He has represented Forfar on the National
scene and in 2003 he played at Ganton Yorkshire, in
the winning Great Britain and Ireland team, which defeated
the USA team in the Walker Cup.
