Carnoustie is giving golfers the chance to play a round over each of its three courses for £135 with its Combination Ticket.

This outstanding offer – which runs from May 1 to October 31 - means golfers can play the Championship, the Burnside and the Buddon Links courses for just £135. That’s a saving of £41.

The only stipulation is that all three rounds have to be played in three days or less. Three rounds in two days are permissible. The ticket can be used on both weekdays and weekends subject to availability.

The Combination Ticket aims to attract golfers who want to spend a couple of days in the famous Angus town which will host this year’s Open Championship. Two Combination Tickets may be purchased if golfers plan to play over five or six consecutive days.

The Burnside course has been used as an Open Qualifying venue on a number of occasions and it was there the legendary Ben Hogan began his successful quest to win the Championship back in 1953.

At 6,028 yards it is not long by modern standards but is still a fine test for amateur golfers of all levels, not least with a host of strategically-placed pot bunkers that are a trademark of all three of Carnoustie’s layouts. The Buddon Links is Carnoustie’s newest course. It was designed by Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas in the 1980s and has since been extensively upgraded. It measures 5,420 yards and has a par of 66.
