The Buddon is the most accessible of the three courses at Carnoustie Golf Links, but it is far from easy. Originally designed by Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas on former Ministry of Defence land next to an important army training area, it was improved in 2014 with two new holes, the 11th and 12th. It is a par 68 and clearly shorter than its famous neighbour, the Championship Course.<\/p>\n
The fairways look generous, yet well placed bunkers protect the landing areas, and the wind, almost constant on this part of the coast, is a real factor. Greens are firm and well defended, so a clear plan from the tee and good distance control matter more than power. Highlights include the 2nd, with the best view of the links from its upper tee, the 6th with trees on both sides of the drive, the par-3 7th with a ditch and three bunkers in front, the par-5 8th with trees and water, and the 17th, a true links par 3 without a single bunker.<\/p>\n
The Buddon is a great choice for a first round to get used to links golf, or for a lively second game of the day without the pressure of the Championship, while keeping the same coastal character.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32451,"template":"","destinos_campo":[354],"destino":[],"class_list":["post-34332","campos_de_golf","type-campos_de_golf","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","destinos_campo-scotland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.casanova.golf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/campos_de_golf\/34332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.casanova.golf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/campos_de_golf"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.casanova.golf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/campos_de_golf"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.casanova.golf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.casanova.golf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"destinos_campo","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.casanova.golf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destinos_campo?post=34332"},{"taxonomy":"destino","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.casanova.golf\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destino?post=34332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
