Monifieth Golf Links

The Medal course is the traditional layout with the opening holes running alongside the railway making the tee-shot a bit more intimidating. Coupled with the sand dunes on the opposite side and the fairway appears very narrow. Once you manage to get the ball in play, the greens are guarded by bunkers meaning you’ve got to get creative. Turning for home, the par 4’s on the inward 9 are easy on the eye but a little less easy to play. It craves an accurate tee-shot leaving a mid iron into the green. The 18^th is a favourite hole, a par 5 which should present an opportunity for birdie. There is danger but 2 good swings and 2 putts will leave you with a smile on your face.

The Ashludie course is the shorter of the 2 – at 5100 yards it looks easy on the scorecard but with a whipping wind and a series of doglegs, not to mention the brilliant bunkering and testing greens then the course is far from simple. It demands a variety of shots but nonetheless it is fun course to play and enjoy.

If you wish to play 36 holes in the one day, the Monifieth combination is perfect for you!
