Carnoustie Golf Club

So first I had a coupon for 4 players. The Red Book specifies we have to play after 12 noon, which we were booked for 12:02. When I approcated the tell I told him I had a coupon and would have to pay for the other 3. I said they are going to pay with their credit card because of covid, they didn't bring enough cash. He still wouldn't accept the coupon. I asked for the Manager and he showed me a sign they put up saying that payment for the 3 players had to be paid by me!!. I said, they are here and can each pay with credit card. He said NO and said it was too difficult for the accounting system.. I said the RED BOOK does not mention I have to pay for the other players, nor does it say anything about their Damm accounting system. That is our last round there. I usually get a group of 12 to play and they just lost that business also. NO FLEXIBILITY!!!

Not that great a value compared to public courses in Vancouver. Firstly, the tee boxes are unkept and the fairway has many spots that are in need of repair or reseeding. They have an issue with locals whereby you cannot hit off the first tee box on Monday mornings but you can golf it when you finish the back nine. Our last round it took 5+ hours....so slow and the Marshall didn't move the slow groups along. They need to be better and deliver better experience as it's a nice course, just expect better

Golf course is in really great shape most of the year! Such a pleasure to play !

I enjoy this golf course. It is very flat and a nice easy walk. Greens were in good shape.

Green fees squeak under 50 for seniors on wkdays, good for this covid crazyness. Greens finally excellent at this date. Too bad my putting isn't...

Bad Experience We booked a foursome for 6pm, we left early from Vancouver to make sure we showed up with enough time so we wouldn’t hold anyone back. After checking in I verified our tee time and the person working the clubhouse asked us to start on the 10th hole. Haven’t had that happen before. Course was in ok shape considering how hot and dry it has been. As we were approaching the 17th hole somewhere around 730pm we noticed the flag was pulled from the green and the 18th hole as well. When we moved to hole number 1 to start the front 9 we saw that sprinklers were turning on hole 2 and 3, thought that was odd as well as there were other golfers still playing. Flag was pulled from 1 as well. We saw a groundskeeper ripping across the course, not pausing for players to shoot - he did this as I was teeing up on hole 3, drove right across the fairway, 100 yards out from us - he could’ve been seriously injured and it was very poor etiquette. As we walked up hole 3, getting soaked by the sprinklers we wondered if we were in the wrong? But we paid for 18 not 9…nobody said there would be anything interrupting our play. We didn’t bother playing any other holes due to no flags on the greens and tee boxes with sprinklers going. In the parking lot I returned to the clubhouse to find a garbage. An employee was leaving and asked if it was normal protocol to remove flags and have sprinklers going while golfers are out there - he said he knew nothing of it, must’ve been grounds keepers. Is this normal operations at Carnoustie? With so much daylight out it was a shame our night was cut short due to staff wanting to head out early. I sent in an email to the course that night and haven't had a response. I will spend my money at another course.

Gorgeous and Enjoyable, one of the nicest courses around. Very well maintained and always pleasant to look at. Wonderful way to spend a few hours outdoors. Picturesque views. Sometimes you can see deer and such, nice to see. Nice greens. Kind and friendly staff all around. Absolutely love it here

No.7hole Looks fantastic of mountain viewing. No.1 hole & No.18 hole looks wide very nice couses of tree cut..and fixing renovate. Fairways & on the green are not bed maybe I think will be very good condition from April 2022
