Just back from our annual jolly. This year we played;
Downfield
Parkland course 6800 Yards.
We had the course virtually to ourselves.
Quite a few doglegs, water and changes in elevation And pretty long, i didn't have anything less than a 5 iron for a 2nd shot on a par 4 until the 15th.
Quite tight off the tee, with lots of those horrible green and brown things lining the fairways
But very enjoyable, though there wasn't much, if any run on the fairways.
Well worth playing if you are in the area.
Monifieth
Ive played here a few times before and always enjoy it. Its not a super long course, but has some great holes and you get real value on your shots. plenty of run on the fairways and the greens were very good. We had fantastic weather and it was a great day, all our group enjoyed it and were pleased to be back on the links with a bit of run on the fairways. the front nine is very linksey, as it follows the railway line down to the edge of Panmure. But once you get on the back 9 its becomes a bit heathland, with the odd tree. That does not detract from the course at all and is a nice contrast.
A must play if in Angus.
Panmure
On the back road to Carnoustie, you van see the white clubhouse of Panmure from a fair distance and it just oozes Old School. quite an old club around 1850 ish if i remember.
Good Practice facilities right next to the club with free range balls.
Its not a long course again and it felt quite heathland, but a superb course none the less.
Lots of trees and heather, with nice wispy rough if you did miss the fairway. A very nice short gentle start to the round, just like the other two courses, then into the harder holes after that.
quite a few holes that seemed to favor a fade off the tee. most holes were fairly straight forward apart from Hogan, which was a blind tee shot and the others in my 4 ball hadn't played the course before had no clue where we were going and it turned out to be a difficult dogleg left to a raised green up by the railway line. The course meanders though dunes towards Monfieth, then turns back towards the clubhouse.
a great course well worth playing and will def be back as we were offered a half price 4 ball before the end of Oct.
Only one hole was a bit featureless and that was a 234 yard par 3 straight into the wind, with not much in the way might have been the 15th. But the rest all great golf holes .
