Help for some Scottish Courses please

[3offTheTee]

Arranging a trip to Fife/Dundee in August for some Seniors/Individual Opens. I only hit the ball 170 yards off the tee son Senior’s are preferable to individual.

Which is preferable 1. Lanark Seniors, Crail Seniors, Balcomie Leven Links and Panmure( never played)

OR 2. Lundin Links (never played)Seniors, Alyth Seniors (never played) Downfield Individual and Monifieth Individual (Never played)

I do NOT expect to be in the prizes and the 3 I wanted to play were Lundin, Monifieth and Panmure.

Decisions!! Mrs 3OTT is with me!!!

I’m a member at Monifieth - I think our seniors is off the yellows and the only real carry is the ninth which is about 150 yards - rest won’t be a problem if you hit it reasonably straight. Even if you don’t carry it you’d probably find the ball.

Panmure is fantastic, so I would choose option 1.

Downfield plays very long off the back tees.

Thanks KL. The 2 I wanted to play were Panmure and Lundin links. That would have been possible this year but Panmure are hosting The British Boys so have put their comp date back a week. The other benefit is that I can also play Fairmont St Andrews

As others said Downfield plays long even off the yellows if it isn't dry and hard, Monifieth doesn't play that long, always get value for your shots. Aylth isn't long, but you need to be pretty straight.

3offTee...If you're going home via M74 and fancy a slight detour( + maybe an extra night on the South side of Glasgow), then you're more than welcome to saunter round my place and enjoy the views( pretty inspiring and photogenic) Maybe even the golf??
Lord knows I've always enjoyed your place and the courses nearby down the coast

My Scottish geography is rubbish but if close enough the the Aberdeenshire, it is raved about.

Never heard of the Aberdeenshire and I used to live in Aberdeenshire?

Aberdeen is a different country from the rest of Scotland

I’m meaning the trump international golf links. Every time someone tells me about it they call it the Aberdeenshire. Strange. ??‍

I've not played up in Aberdeenshire. Hear there are some great courses.

Ayrshire, East Lothian, Fife and Angus are all amazing for golf.
