167 Yards – Par 3 – Stroke Index 18

Carnoustie’s first par 3 and well worth the wait. On par with the great par 3’s in world golf with out of bounds left and bunkers surrounding an elevated green. Normally played into a cross wind it requires a good swing and no little courage to find the heart of this green.

Caddie’s Tip

“Take plenty of club as there is less trouble beyond the green.”
