Located in Barry, Angus, near Carnoustie, it offers a unique blend of links and heathland golf, characterised by firm fairways, subtle undulations, and natural sandhills. Originally laid out by Old Tom Morris and later refined by James Braid in 1922, the course spans 6,551 yards from the championship tees and plays to a par of 70.
Panmure holds a special place in golfing history due to its association with Ben Hogan. In preparation for his sole Open Championship appearance in 1953, which he won at nearby Carnoustie, Hogan practiced at Panmure to acclimate to links conditions. He suggested the addition of a hidden pot bunker on the sixth hole, now known as “Hogan’s Bunker,” enhancing the strategic challenge of the hole.
The club has hosted numerous prestigious events, including final qualifying for The Open Championship and the R&A Girls Amateur Championship . Its historic clubhouse, inspired by the Royal Calcutta Golf Club, adds to the traditional charm. With its rich heritage and challenging layout, Panmure offers an authentic Scottish golfing experience.
