Kirriemuir – Gateway to the Angus Glens<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summary<\/span>:\u00a0\u00a0Round Sun-Fri \u00a324;\u00a0Sat \u00a328\u00a0.\u00a0 \u00a0Par 68.\u00a0 Value (out of 5)\u00a0\u2013 3.5<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Detail:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Kirriemuir is the “Gateway” to the Angus Glens, the collective name for the six<\/p>\n

\"Approach<\/a>

Approach to 4th, with Angus Glens in the background<\/p><\/div>\n

glens (Glens Doll, Clova, Prosen, Isla, Lethnot and Esk)\u00a0which run in the same general direction stretching through the Angus countryside towards the edge of the Cairngorm<\/a> National Park.<\/p>\n

Kirriemuir, close to\u00a0Glamis Castle, is one of several towns in the area with golf courses, therefore golf here can be part of a holiday, with walking, cycling and fishing being other sports abundantly on offer.<\/p>\n

\"7th<\/a>

7th green at Kirriemuir<\/p><\/div>\n

Kirriemuir is a lovely\u00a0 course, with spectacular open country views of the Glens, particularly\u00a0on the front 9.\u00a0 The course is not long, so if you get off the tee well, you’ll be leaving your mid irons in the bag.\u00a0\u00a0I didn’t use an iron longer than an 8 off the fairway.\u00a0 Therefore, this is a course that most players\u00a0can play well on.<\/p>\n

\"13th<\/a>

13th Green at Kirriemuir looking towards the tee<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The greens were excellent when I played, as were the fairways – overall a very well kept course, with ample fairways.\u00a0 The\u00a0course has been described as Heathland, but I think Parkland if more fitting given the amount of trees.\u00a0 The main difficultly I faced was the slickness of the greens, which meant holding an iron onto the green difficult.<\/p>\n

The only annoyance when I played was the use of mats on the par 3s, which given the condition of the tees was not necessary in my view.<\/p>\n

\"16th<\/a>

16th Green at Kirriemuir<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The highlights of the course for me, was the par 4 13th stoke index 1, which you need to be to the right of the fairway to approach the well guarded green.\u00a0 There was the unusual finish of par 3s at both the 16th and 17th holes, with the 17th being\u00a0the toughest of the par 3s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Long<\/a>

Long par 3 17th at Kirriemuir<\/p><\/div>\n

Kirriemuir is\u00a0a course where every level of golfer has the opportunity to play well, and is well worth a visit<\/p>\n
