Carnoustie has a fearsome reputation, and it earns it. The Championship Course on the Angus coast is widely regarded as the hardest of the Open rota, with a closing stretch that has decided — and undone — major championships.
The finish
The 18th plays back across the Barry Burn twice, a closing hole that punishes the slightest hesitation. Manage the burn, manage your nerve, and Carnoustie will give you a round you never forget — for better or worse.
