Panmure Golf Club Scorecard
Nestled just a short distance from the famed Carnoustie Golf Links, Panmure Golf Club offers a true test of golfing skill amidst rich history and stunning views of the Scottish countryside. Established in 1845, the club moved to its present site in 1899, where it became a mainstay in Scottish golf.
Despite being relatively young in the context of the club's overall history, the course itself has been a playground for golf legends for over a century.
The course at Panmure has long been respected for its challenging yet rewarding design. Featuring a blend of classic links holes and more tranquil, heathland-style stretches, the course offers something for every golfer. Its rolling fairways, strategic bunkers, and undulating greens provide ample challenges, particularly when the weather comes into play, as the wind and the elements often shape the course.
One of the course's most famous moments in history occurred in 1953 when Ben Hogan chose Panmure as his practice course before winning The Open Championship at Carnoustie. Hogan’s influence on the course can still be felt, with one of the bunkers on the 6th hole – "Hogan’s Bunker" – being the result of his suggestion to add an additional challenge.
Panmure's illustrious history of hosting prestigious tournaments adds to its charm. In addition to multiple Open Championship qualifiers, it has hosted The Amateur Championship twice and the Scottish Professional Championship in 1907, adding to the club's storied reputation. Its legacy in the golfing world is cemented by its role in shaping Scottish golf history and its continued relevance in the modern golfing world.

Members and visitors alike can enjoy a warm atmosphere, with lounges adorned with the club's historical memorabilia and stunning views over the course. The pro shop offers a wide range of golfing gear and apparel, and the practice facilities are ideal for golfers looking to fine-tune their skills.
For those seeking a unique and memorable golfing experience, Panmure Golf Club offers the perfect blend of historical significance and challenging play, making it a must-visit destination for any golf enthusiast.
