Golf in Scotland is very popular and accesible for everyone and Dundee is no different. With over twenty golf courses in the area there is no shortage of options for a day out on the course.

 The Queens hotel have been advising guests on the best golf courses for a number of years and we have compiled a list of what courses we think you shouldnt miss out on.

 Carnoustie Links Golf Course

Carnousties Championship golf course is generally regarded as one the toughest of the British Open venues and last hosted the competition in 2007 and will host it again in 2018. 

However there are other courses that are not as difficult. The Burnside is often over looked but offers a great challenge and golfing experience. 

 The Buddon is the newest of the courses at Carnoustie and opened In 1979. With a recent $1m investment the course is looking as good as it ever has and is as challening as it has ever been with the two new holes being introduced.
