\"Water

Water hazard which awaits a slice off the 8th tee.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Kingennie

Kingennie Estate Fishing Lake<\/p><\/div>\n

Forbes of Kingennie is a Golf and Country Resort set on the East of Dundee, about 3 miles north of Monifieth.\u00a0 It is surrounded by housing, some of which is pretty exclusive.\u00a0 This is an excellent 9 hole golf course, designed by architect Dave Webster.\u00a0The course has stunning views of the fishing lakes surrounding the main hotel area, albeit they don’t come into play as they are used for fishing, and are well stocked (apparently).<\/p>\n

\"Dog-leg

Dog-leg 6th hole, with an array of bunkers on the left of the dog-leg<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two\u00a0or\u00a0three of the holes are of championship quality, especially the par 4, dog-leg 6th\u00a0which has a risk-reward drive on offer from the tee to cut the dogleg leaving a shorter iron.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The course was in first class condition for the time of year.\u00a0\u00a0 I scored better than my play would have suggested, with some good putting making up for wayward driving.\u00a0 Although only a\u00a09 hole course\u00a0this is a serious and challenging test of golf.\u00a0 There are plans for a new adjacent development with a championship standard 18 hole layout – when complete this will provide a great parkland compliment to the outstanding links courses in the nearby Carnoustie and Monifieth.<\/p>\n

Well worth a visit.<\/p>\n
