Montrose Links: Where Golf History Meets Modern Challenge
Welcome to Montrose Links, the world's 5th oldest golf course located on Traill Drive in Montrose. As a members club, we offer a golfing experience like no other, with our 36-hole links course that guarantees reliable playing conditions all year round.
Our renowned 1562 Course has earned its place in Scotland's top 100 courses for 2023, securing the impressive spot at number 43. This magnificent stretch of natural terrain provides a challenging yet enjoyable experience for golfers. With undulating fairways and fast greens, the 1562 Course becomes even more formidable when the wind blows in from the sea. Alongside the rugged Angus coastline, golfers are treated to stunning scenery that enhances the thrill of the game.
The East wind, a formidable challenge, demands respect from even the most experienced golfers. But fear not, we've ensured accessibility for higher handicap golfers with a green tee. Meanwhile, the Broomfield Links perfectly complements the 1562 Course. Don't be fooled by its short appearance; this challenging course demands a delicate touch around the small greens and precision from the tee to the green due to its natural undulations.
The Broomfield is a joy to play, particularly during the dry and fast summer months when its links-like turf enhances the experience. Five holes are affected by the burn, adding to the excitement and strategic thinking required to conquer the course. Though not as challenging as the 1562 Course, the Broomfield remains a tough test for golfers looking to improve their short game.
Our history dates back to 1562, and since then, we've maintained our status as a premier golfing destination. With a clubhouse offering a bar, restaurant, and a well-stocked pro shop, we ensure that every aspect of your golfing experience is enjoyable. Our resident professional, Jason Boyd, is available for tuition and custom fitting in our state-of-the-art Performance Studio.
If you're looking to take on the challenge of playing both courses in one day, Montrose Links is the place to be. Whether you're a seasoned golfer seeking a formidable test or a higher handicap player looking for a memorable round, our courses have something to offer everyone. So come and enjoy the timeless allure of golf at Montrose Links, a home course for the Royal Montrose Mercantile Golf Club.
