Kirriemuir
Established 1903
(A James
Braid Classic)
Kirriemuir offers an admirable and highly enjoyable
heathland/parkland layout, the perfect length for the
entire day’s golf. The contours of each hole and
arrangement of the course as a whole make for an
undiminished golfing encounter.
Avenues
of woods, gorse and broom surround lush, undulating
fairways with greens that are impeccable and true. The
views, particularly from the 4th hole with Lochnagar in
the distance, are inspiring.
Like
many of the great courses, Kirriemuir’s best is reserved
for the finish. The 17th and 18th are two fantastic holes.
The 17th a 180yds, par 3 which is guarded by two majestic
trees both left and right, this hole lives up to its name
“Braids Gem”.
The 18th
is a difficult par 4, it is uphill with a large oak tree
blocking the right half of the fairway. The approach shot
must be either be carried over the large bunkered gully or
laid up short of this troublesome hazard.
