Improve Your Swing!

Culture-vultures or party-animals on the look out for après-golf activity can do no better than to discover the 21st century delights of Dundee.

Magnificently situated along the north shore of the River Tay, Dundee forms much of the southern boundary of Carnoustie Country. Famed in the past for its traditional dependence on jute, jam and journalism, Dundee has reinvented itself as a cultured university city with a reputation for stylish contemporary art, maritime heritage, academic research and superb quality of life.

Built south-facing on a series of hills, with its feet in the ‘silvery Tay’ of William McGonagall’s wonderful poetry, dignified Georgian and Victorian architecture presides over exciting contemporary developments, with open areas graced by public art and street furniture designed to link the past emotively with the city’s bright future.

With visitor-friendly pedestrianised city centre streets and plazas, al fresco entertainment and cafes, superb museums and galleries, and excellent retail-therapy opportunities in a compact area close to the waterfront and the East Coast main railway line, it’s a must-visit for golfers or their partners and families!

Only 15 minutes from Carnoustie and less than half an hour from St Andrews by road or rail – you’ll find all the daytime diversion or lively night-life you may want in Dundee. With friendly traditional pubs, stylish bars, a refreshing variety of cuisine, and lively nightclubs, you’re sure to find your niche.

Dundee also offers a comprehensive choice of hotels, guest houses, bed & breakfasts and self-catering accommodation to welcome the visitor who wants to enjoy city life.
