Panmure Golf Club: A Classic Scottish Golf Experience
Panmure Golf Club, adorned in Scottish history, tradition and charm. Established in 1845, Panmure is recognised as the 21st oldest golf club in world. The famous Old Tom Morris and James Braid designed links requires both strategy and skill to navigate and negotiate the sandhills forged by nature. The course combines the best elements of links and heathland, with tight fairways, challenging carries and undulating greens. The texture of heather, pines, dunes and fescue intertwine to produce a landscape which screams firm fast and handsome golf. An authentic experience, rich in tradition and affluent in hospitality.
Panmure Golf Club
In 1953 Ben Hogan won his one and only Open Championship at Carnoustie Golf Links. The man known as the ‘Wee Ice Mon’ by the Scots cemented his legendary reputation thanks to the help of Panmure Golf Club. The great Hogan spent two weeks at Panmure, accompanied only by his caddy, Cecil Timms to acclimatise to the terrain of links golf and to acquaint himself with the smaller 1.62 inch British ball. Hogan would never play in the Open again, but his legacy at Panmure remains! The 6th hole, a 414 yard par 4, stroke index 1, is named after the great man. Hogan suggested the addition of the cleverly-placed hidden pot bunker to the front right of the green. Over seventy years on, the members still refer to it as "Hogan's Bunker". You have the opportunity to attain a specially commissioned Glencairn glass if you can achieve a birdie on the 6th hole, engraved with the Club logo and stating, you birdied Hogan’s favourite hole! To qualify for the Hogan challenge, you simply have to play from either the blue, white or black tees and score a gross 3. Good luck! To collect your glass, please speak to a member of staff in the clubhouse or professional shop.
