The best deals for golf in Angus and Fife

Here we highlight some of the best opportunities to play golf in Angus and Fife.
In the swing on Arbroath Golf Links
Arbroath Golf Links is a deceiving course. At first view, it appears to offer flat, open fairways. However, in true links style, the undulating greens are well protected by testing bunkers. It has a phenomenal history, dating back to 1878 when it was designed by Old Tom Morris. Then in 1907, a redesign by Willie Fernie and James Braid took place and that layout is still played to this day.
Arbroath Artisan Golf Club was formed in 1903 by a group of tradespersons (artisans) who wished to take up golf but could not enter via Arbroath Golf Club. It has a nice clubhouse and outside sitting area with lovely views of the course. If you would like to have something to eat there is Fiona and her Coffee Cabin with a very comprehensive menu.
To book a tee time contact the Pro Shop by calling 01241875837 or visiting its Facebook page.
The Arbroath Golf Links website, Facebook page and Instagram profile are also well worth a visit.
