Montrose
5th Oldest Golf Course in the World
Medal Course
The Medal Course at Montrose is a majestic
layout in the true traditions of Scottish Links
golf and has hosted many important events in its
history including the Scottish Professional Championship
in 1967 and 1970, the Scottish Amateur Championship
in 1975 and the British Boys' Championship and Internationals
in 1991.
Because of all these factors the Links was honoured
by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in being chosen
as a Final Qualifying Course for the Open Championship
at Carnoustie in 1999.
Broomfield Course
In addition
to the Medal Course Montrose can boast a second 18 hole
Golf Course (Broomfield), maintained to the same high
standard. Originally a 9 hole course but extended to
18 holes in 1915, the Broomfield offers families, juniors
and beginners the opportunity to enjoy golf on the Links
at Montrose. Because of the flat nature of the Course
walking is easy making it ideal for parties looking
to play 36 holes in a day or to perfect your game before
taking on the challenge of the Medal Course in the afternoon.
Measuring 4800 yards the Broomfield Course does not
require long carries from the tee, but to find the small
greens accurate approach shots are a must.
