Established in 1643, Monifieth’s Medal golf course is a combination of parkland and links, undulating ground flanked on many holes by rows of pine trees. Deep revetted bunkers are another feature.
Two good challenges come at the 4th, a long par four with a prominent mound defending the right of the green, followed by a nerve-rattling par three at the 5th with the intimidating East Coast railway line to the right.
The 6th is the course’s signature hole with a snaking burn to be carried off the tee usually into the wind. Generally, Monifieth’s Medal Course is an excellent test of your golfing skills, especially during the summer months when its links-like nature comes to the fore. During the Open qualifying rounds much praise was given to the course’s condition and overall challenge.
The Monifieth Medal golf course is a testing course with plenty of local character, and the nearby Ashludie and Carnoustie golf courses make Monifieth an excellent destination for anyone looking for a rewarding golfing break or longer golf holiday.
