5th Oldest golf course. This is a classic Willie Park Jnr
links course which requires good shot-making, particularly in the sea breezes
which can change the whole character of the course daily.
From the first you get an idea what faces you with the opening
hole playing every inch of its 393 yards when you drive to the foot of the hill
leaving a blind approach shot. There is a proliferation of gorse, gullies, valleys
and mounds to be overcome before, at the 10th it heads inland with the next six
holes all demanding accurate iron play.
You are welcomed back to the seashore by a tough par-3 of
233 yards which often requires a wood to clear the bunker on the left. Montrose
keeps challenging you right to the end with a final green well guarded by bunkers
but with out of bounds awaiting that rush of adrenaline.
