Burnside Course (Carnoustie Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa)

Championship Course (Carnoustie Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa)
Host to the Open six times, the Championship Course has been voted the top course in Scotland by many of the golfing greats and has been described as Scotland's ultimate golfing Challenge. The 1999 Open captured the public's imagination as some of the game's greatest players floundered, and will always be remembered for Jean van de Velde's disastrous last hole where he let slip a three stoke lead to lose to Paul Lawrie in the play-off.
