The two Monifieth courses offer golf for all levels with the larger course, The Medal, elected by the Royal and Ancient GC of St. Andrews as a final qualifying course for the 2007 Open Championship.
The Medal Course
Length: 6655 yards
Par: 71
SSS: 72f.,This course has recently undergone a 3 year recovery programme under the head greenkeeper Scott Rennie and is in excellent condition with well grassed narrow running fairways, lush semi-rough, penal heavy rough and fast consistent greens not to mention the deep revetted bunkers to test any standard of golfer.
Ian McLeod, PGA Golf Professional, Monifieth Links, summarises the course:
“I have been the golf pro here at Monifieth for over 40 years. You would think that I would get bored with playing the same course for that length of time. The beauty of Links course and almost uniquely East Of Scotland Links courses is that they vary so much due to the constantly changing strengths and directions of the wind. I have seen conditions which turned a drive and wedge par 4 into an unreachable 2 shotter in the same day.
Monifieth is sandwiched between two marvellous Open Championship courses in St. Andrews to the South, and Carnoustie to the East. If you are planning a trip to this area give us a visit! I promise you that you will not be disappointed, in fact many have pencilled in Monifieth as a must return venue. We also serve a damn fine pint of beer!!”
The Ashludie
Length: 5123 yards
Par: 68
SSS: 66f.,A compact and challenging test of golf, the Ashludie course designed by James Braid requires more brain than brawn, demanding accurate iron shots to the well respected greens.
At just over 5000 yards in length this course offers any golfer immense enjoyment played on its own or as a second round in a days outing.
