Panmure is one of the oldest clubs in the world, having been formed in 1845. Originally at Monifieth, it moved to Barry in 1899. It is a traditional links course, adjacent to the world renowned Carnoustie Championship Links, home of the 1999 Open Championship won by Scotsman Paul Lawrie.  Although not exceptionally long by today's standards, Panmure requires accurate driving and iron play. In addition, the greens are generally small with subtle borrows developed through over 100 years of play. The testing layout has fully merited its roll-call of championships, which include The Scottish Stroke-play, qualifying for the Amateur Championship and Final Qualifying for the Open Championship. When Ben Hogan came to Scotland for the British Open Championship in 1953 he arranged to practice at Panmure golf course, away from the eyes of the press and public. It was at his suggestion that a hidden bunker was added in front of the green, and it is now known affectionately as "Hogan's Bunker".
