About
Kirriemuir Golf Club, designed by James Braid, lies in the heart of Scotland's golfing country, 18 miles from Carnoustie and 35 miles from St. Andrews. No fewer than eight Open final qualifying golf courses are within a 45-minute drive.
Avenues of woods, gorse and broom surround lush, undulating fairways with greens that are impeccable and true. The views are inspiring, particularly from the fourth hole, with Lochnagar in the distance.
Like many of the great golf courses, Kirriemuir's best is reserved for the finish. The 17th, named Braid's Gem, is a 180-yard par-3 hole, with the green guarded by two majestic trees both left and right. No. 18 is a difficult par 4, uphill with a large oak tree blocking the right half of the fairway.
The par-68 heathland/parkland layout measures 5,518 yards from the back tees.

Brilliant course and magnificent views
I wished I’d played this course years ago. Only 1 hour from St Andrews and brilliant staff.
Should have been told of work to greens
Have played many times now but once again, arrived to fined the greens heavily cored & top dressed with sand.
Hadn’t been rolled, bobbled everywhere & the amount of top dressing wasn’t helping
Absolutely ruined the round & we came off after 12 holes.
I understand this has to be done but it would be nice to be informed of this prior to a booking to allow us to decide whether to play or not.
We wouldn’t have & would have taken either a rescheduling or a refund.
A completely wasted day.
Great short course
A course with great holes with very unique layouts especially the 18th
Keep coming back.
Back again as we live the place.
A tricky layout that really requires playing it more than once to really get a grip of how to play the course.
Course itself has always been in exellent condition, even after poor weather we couldn’t fault it.
Greens rolls purely, and the rough was tough but fair this time.
Staff welcoming, meals were excellent.
We will be back again
Great Course
Brilliant course with generous open fairways and well maintained greens.
Well maintained
Very well maintained course and club , challenging greens and excellent food , friendly and courteous staff . A joy to visit and will definitely return.
Excellent!
Back again today after playing the open scramble on Sunday.
Course is in excellent condition.
Cannot fault it.
Even with the cored greens they still played & rolled very well:
The fish & chips in clubhouse were top notch too.
Fantastic day
Staff were very welcoming and friendly. First time playing here. Condition of course lovely. Well looked after and greens were superb. Scenery was beautiful especially on a clear sunny day like we had. Course is short but still testing and easily walkable. One complaint is there was a bit of slow play which left us hanging about on tees a fair bit but not enough to ruin a great day out. Got a great deal on golf now. Was totally worth the money. We will definitely be back.
Great course
Great course. Played in 2 ball and went round in just over 3 hours. Took a little while to speak to a member of start to register when first got there.
Greens were excellent apart from some that had pine needles etc on them. Would 100% recommend though.
Tricky course
Not the easiest of course when you look at the score card and the mapping it’s quite simple but a picture of very difficult greens to read elevated greens if your putting isn’t on point it’ll cost you,
17 summer greens
Great to head out in blustery conditions and still have fun on my own, challenging course with the wind but great to be on 17 summer greens 👌
