Monifieth Golf Links - The Medal Course
Rating Snapshot
About
For being an old, classic inland links/parkland layout, Monifieth's par-71 Medal Course is lengthy even by modern standards, at 6,655 yards from the championship tees, and 6354 from the middles. And the wind, as pointed out by Mr. Miller, can make it play much, much longer. Even more importantly, the wind accentuates the spin on poor shots, bringing into play some of the most treacherous hazards, OB, and gorse to be found on any Scottish golf course. Holes 1-6, 13, 16, and 18 all feature OB on the right side from tee to green. And Monifieth's remaining holes hold little promise of relief, as the gorse and fescue appear to be thicker and wilder than most Scottish links.

Great Scot
Monifieth is a superb stop as you golf around Scotland. It begins with a homage to Tom Watson's first tee shot in Scotland. Course is fun with many a challenge, particularly the traps. Greens were subtle but not beyond reason. The course was well cared for with new grass sods in worn places.
I would be remiss not to mention the staff. Simply each one was attentive with a genuine willingness to meet every need possible.
Great experience!
Very pleasant experience
Nice links golf course. We enjoyed it very much. No driving range, only a putting green and 3 mats for net hitting.
Excellent conditions
The staff in the pro shop were very friendly and helpful. On course we were following a competition, but the course staff were going round in buggies keeping us updated with the piece of play ahead of us, they also have us some local knowledge about done of the holes great day.
Don’t Miss This Course!
Pro shop staff and starter were excellent, on and off the course. Food was superb and great value for money, again the staff were friendly and helpful.
Course played well under spring conditions. Would recommend.
Great value. Bargain
Lovely course and easy to walk.
Got it for a bargain which is just as well as there were restrictions due to recent bad weather. Would definitely recommend. Started with a birdie which helps.
Moneifith link
We play Moneifith link on a Saturday afternoon with decent weather.
The course, cause the rain in the past days , was quite wet .
Green not bad but plenty of water around...
To be onest for a course with such an heritage condition have to be better.
Staff was friendly expecially the starter.
We have problems to have a beer after the round , the doors were closed and nobody came to open....
Nice challenging course
For our first round of golf in Scotland Monifieth was perfect to set us in the ambiance. The 6 first holes with the wind in front are tough. You have the challenge. The course is in great condition, challenging greens with hidden slopes.
Thanks to Rob, that he was very nice and helpful while receiving us for our tee time, his explanations were very useful.
Very fair course in excellent condition. Greens were superb - and quick! Really welcoming staff and a very enjoyable day's golf.
The medal
The first nine was brutal into the wind. I had a excellent days golf and would recommend a round at monifieth to anybody it was a hard test of golf on the day I player
Great course and excellent value for money.
Course in good condition, greens running well and fast.
Great value for money.
Shame off red tees but get the process of resting areas at this time of year.
Friendly staff member in pro shop, disappointing no clubhouse facilities before or after when a midday tee time.
Definitely return.
Winter golf
Course was frozen solid so £35 seemed a bit steep.
Still enjoyed the exercise and will come back in the summer. 4 ball in front refused to let me through and made me feel i was pressurizing them . I was plying well but stood waiting at every tee which is annoying when its a cold day.
Stunning course
Lovely course really challenging played both courses fast greens was really delighted whith both courses
Still fantastic in November
Got a nice day for it and were not disappointed, loads of rain leading up to our game but the course was still in fantastic shape and the greens were brilliant, started with birdie never lost a ball and the sun shone all the way round what more can an average golfer ask for?
Gem of a course
Windy day which made the course trickier, great conditions, greens running fast and true. Great test of golf
Windy Test
