What a gem. The clubhouse is exceptional, and steeped in history. We received a great welcome and given the history of the club by the Manager Craig who was rightfully very proud of the course and club. The course is extremely well presented and a good test of golf. Everyone made us welcome and were very friendly. It is definitely worth a return visit.
It was at Panmure Golf Club in 1953 that the legendary Ben Hogan made his rigorous preparations for victory at Carnoustie in his only Open Championship appearance, he was victorious by four shots & achieved a course record 68 in the final round. Hogan spent two weeks familiarising himself with the local turf, he is rumoured to have cut the 17th green to his precise specification & even returned the cleaned mower to the head greenkeeper. It is the same turf that keen golfers flock to Panmure for today.
Panmure must be considered when touring the famous links courses in the area, it is situated only a few miles south of Carnoustie and highly regarded as having all the characteristics of a championship links.
