Carnoustie
Golf at Carnoustie dates back to the 1520s - a time when golf was played by locals along the sandy sub-soil and open, rolling terrain of the Scottish east coast. Allan Robertson laid out the first 10 holes in 1842 while 25 years later, old Tom Morris added a further eight. James Braid added many new bunkers and redesigned greens in the 1920s to make Carnoustie a real championship test.
Carnoustie, known as the Toughest Course in World Championship Golf has been the platform for many dramatic Opens with golfing legends such as Tommy Armour, Henry Cotton, Ben Hogan and Gary Player winning golf's greatest prize.
In recent years, the Carnoustie Championship course, often rated among the top three golf courses in the world, has returned to world-prominence as the host of the Scottish Open in 1995 and 1996 and the venue for the 1999 Open Championship.
