Monifieth Golf Links - The Ashludie Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Ashludie Golf Course at Monifieth Golf Links is a compact and challenging test with tight fairways. Designed by James Braid, the golf course requires more brain than brawn, demanding accurate iron shots to the small, tricky greens.
The shorter Ashludie course next door to the Medal is an entertaining, if quite short, venue. A par-66 golf course of 5,123 yards, there are no par 5s but several very good par 4s, and four par 3s.
The holes to watch out for are the 13th playing to a plateau green and the 15th, a dogleg par-4 turning left where good positioning of the drive is essential.

A very friendly place
Course well laid out with lots of roll. Friendly and informative staff
Great day out.
First of all the weather was great. Looked after well in the pro shop prior to playing. On the 1st tee, the course ranger spoke to us explaining the course and things to adhere too. Very good idea. Course was in great condition all round. Layout is great with a few tricky ones. Course ranger cam round to see how we were getting on. Very nice thing.
Had a beer on finishing and sat in the sun. Amazing day out, here at the Ashludie course. Will be back.
Lovely!
Great course and friendly staff….will be back to play the medal course definitely
Monifieth Ashludie Course
Very enjoyable, nice Professional in the Shop explained the 2 Courses & Golf Clubs Set up. The Ashludie Course was in very good condition and enjoyable to play. We got caught in a bit of rain for last 6 holes but both my Wife & I enjoyed playing the course.
Short but Challenging
Our first time playing Ashludue. Not long but you have to keep the ball in play. After the heavy overnight rain it was great to play on a free draining surface. Greens were very good and had some interesting breaks. Great welcome and the round only took us 2 1/2 hours.
Nice Course
Played on a hot deal time, excellent course for leaving the driver in the bag a lot of short par 4's and with the wind some reachable with hybrid or 5 iron. I previously played the medal course and wanted to also play this course for a bit of short game practice. Greens running fast and true, fairways in good condition a couple of GUR's on some of them but really good condition. Easy scoring course due to the length as long as you have good course management. Only downside was I had a 2 ball in front of me (with no one in front of them) both of them hit there tee shots about 50 yds of the 1st tee and took about 15 minutes to play the 1st hole a straight forward 275yd par 4 and didn't let me play thru until the walked off after about 12 holes.
Monifieth Ashludie
Booked this as a warm up before playing Carnoustie at the weekend. The course was perfect, short, tricky greens and just what we needed after travelling. Thoroughly enjoyable and got us moving ahead of a big weekend on the links down the road.
Great course
Don't be fooled by the shorter yardage of this Ashludie course.
I found it both challenging and in excellent condition.
Fast greens even in the wet.
Friendly staff.
Recommended.
Friday 17th
Booked last minute, but wow!
Arrived early and met the staff in the Pro Shop and they were very friendly.
The course was stunning. Probably the nicest that I have played.
Lots of narrow fairways (suited me to T) which meant Irons off the Tee.
My only gripe (and absolutely no fault of the course) was that my watch got abit scrambled and couldn't work out what hole I was on.
But overall, 10/10
This course is golf at its purest form
Outstanding
Easy walk, nice scenery, rough not too rough and greens faster than a puck on ice. I played poorly and I blame the wind. I loved this track but the walk back to the car park was a long one, my biggest gripe. Overs though, this course is a joy and a club I intend to join.
Excellent day
Staff was absolutely brilliant and welcoming. Would absolutely play this course again.
Coming back
Started my golfing life 60 years ago on this course.
Won the Kidd Cip on it in 1971. A nostalgic return after not playing it for over 20 years. Played with my wife and thoroughly enjoyed the original.layout and the courses condition. Many very gappy memories.
A mixed bag.
The good bits
Very short links , good intro for juniors and maybe older golfers.
Good condition
Staff are excellent and helpful
Not so good bits
It’s too short for any serious golfer, most par 4s less than driver to reach which causes a big problem. Congestion with having to wait on par 4s till at least the group ahead are on or have left the green.
There is no starter and a few members argued they were off before us. Turned out they were not so after we teed off they proceeded to tee off before we reached our balls, bouncing balls around us. It carried on each hole until they were firmly warned. Grumpy old man and an all the gear no idea with no etiquette, patience or skill spoiled our round and qualified it as the least enjoyable game of golf I have ever experienced in 50 years.
