CARNOUSTIE
Carnoustie, Scotland
View showing the Barry Burn, 16th green, 17th and 18th holes.
Stark, evil, gigantic, brutal,
monstrous---these words and worse have been used to
describe the championship course at Carnoustie. Hailed by
many of the world's top pros as the hardest course in the
United Kingdom, Carnoustie regained its status as a venue
for the Open Championship in 1999, the scene of triumphs
by Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Tom Watson.
The course is flat and exposed
(its two or three little spinneys of trees have no
bearing on the play). It is hard by the sea, but the sea
is never seen. Never does it have more than two holes
running in the same direction.
Walter Hagen declared it to be
the best course in Britain; one of the three best in the
world. It is a municipally owned course, and it may be
one of the wonders of the golfing world.
