Carnoustie Golf Links in the town of Carnoustie, Angus, in the east of Scotland is one of the venues in the Open Championship rotation. Golf is recorded as having been played here in 1527, earlier than at St Andrews, where the first record of golf dates from 1552. In 1890, the 14th Earl of Dalhousie, who owned the land, sold the links to the people of the town, to be kept available for their recreation in perpetuity. While the townspeople are the owners, today the links are administered on their behalf by Angus Council. Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

The original course was of ten holes, crossing and recrossing the Barry Burn. The opening of the coastal railway from Dundee to Arbroath in 1838 brought an influx of golfers from as far afield as Edinburgh, anxious to tackle the ancient links. This led to a complete restructuring of the course, extended in 1867 by Old Tom Morris to the eighteen holes which had meanwhile become standard. Two additional courses have since been added - the Burnside Course and the shorter though equally testing Buddon Links. For other uses, see Dundee (disambiguation). ...

Carnoustie is known as 'The Beast'. It is one of the venues for The Open Championship.

In North America, the course is infamously nicknamed "Car-nasty," due to its famous difficulty. Carnoustie is considered by many to be the most difficult course in the Open rota, and one of the toughest courses in the world.

The term Carnoustie effect dates from the 1999 Open, when the world's best players, many of whom were reared on manicured and relatively windless courses, were frustrated by the unexpected difficulties of the Carnoustie links, which was compounded by the weather. One much-fancied young favourite, a 19-year-old Sergio García of Spain, went straight from the course to his mother's arms in tears after shooting 89 and 83 in the first two rounds.^[1] The Carnoustie effect is defined as "that degree of mental and psychic shock experienced on collision with reality by those whose expectations are founded on false assumptions." This being a psychological term, it can of course apply to disillusionment in any area of activity, not just in golf. There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ...

The 1999 Open Championship is best remembered for the epic collapse of French golfer Jean Van de Velde, who needed only a double-bogey six on the 72nd hole to win the Open—and proceeded to shoot a triple-bogey seven, tying Paul Lawrie and 1997 champion Justin Leonard at 290, at six over par. Lawrie won the playoff and the championship (and Van de Velde won a place in sports infamy).

The Open Championship was once again contested at Carnoustie in July 2007. The eight year absence was far shorter than the lengthy 24 years it took to return to Carnoustie, between 1975 and 1999. Padraig Harrington triumphed over Sergio Garcia in a 4-hole playoff. The eighteenth hole once again proved itself among the most dramatic and exciting in championship golf.
