Panmure Golf
Club is a golf
club close to
the village of
Barry in Angus,
Scotland.
Situated between the Courses of
Monifieth and Carnoustie on the east
coast of Scotland this James Braid
influenced Golf Course is approximately
8 miles from Dundee 20 miles from
St Andrews and within easy travelling
distance of Edinburgh, Aberdeen and
Glasgow.
Panmure is the sixteenth oldest golf club
in the world dating back to 1845, and is
one of the 26 clubs that originally helped
purchase the Amateur Championship
trophy first played for in 1885.
When the club first opened, in 1845, it
was only a nine holes course which was
laid by Robertson and Pires of St Andrews
in the area of Monifieth. This was later
extended to 18 holes in 1880. The Panmure
Golf Club was then shifted to its present
location at Barry in 1899. Today Panmure
Golf Club is a traditional links course that
is situated adjacent to the world-famous
Carnoustie Championship Links and the
Monifieth Golf Course. The eighteen-
hole course was later modified and
extended under guidance of James Braid
in 1922. Interestingly, Panmure Golf Club
is also one of the founders of the British
Amateur Championship in 1885.
