Carnoustie Golf Links We look forward to warmly welcoming you to play our
fantastic three courses, all of which are rated in the top 50 Links courses in
the UK and Ireland. The Championship Course has recently (2016) been ranked as
number one course in Scotland by the general public. The Championship Course has
hostedAIG Women’s Open 2021 – Carnoustie Golf Links Between 19th and 22nd August
2021 Carnoustie proudly played host to The AIG Women’s Open for the second time
in 10 years, with the previous Championship being played over the famous Links
in 2011. Not only has this Championship quickly grown to become the most
international Major in women’s golf, it is also one of the most sought-after
prizes in the industry. The 45th edition of the Championship saw Carnoustie
invite the very best women golfers in the world to battle it out over Golf’s
Greatest Test in an exciting week days of wonderful golf. Those who took on the
challenge included Georgia Hall, Hinako Shibuno, and Danielle Kang who are true
ambassadors of the game and continue to drive women’s golf forward together.
Included in this list was defending AIG Women’s Open champion, Sophia Popov, who
after her memorable win in 2020 continues to inspire women and girls across the
world as she looked to defend her title at Carnoustie, where she made her
Women’s British Open debut. It was with great delight that after a stunning 65
on the Saturday, Anna Nordqvist held her nerve in a thrilling final round to
shoot 69 and triumph by one shot over Georgia Hall. Speaking during her prize
giving, Anna said “Carnoustie is such a great venue and it’s been one of my
favourites since I played here in 2011, and for us to be able to come back here
I think is amazing and hopefully it’s not the last time the British Open comes
back here.” Carnoustie has real ambitions to grow and elevate the game of golf,
demonstrated by the almost 300 children taking part in The Carnoustie Craws golf
development programme every week. Hosting the AIG Women’s Open at Carnoustie
provides another opportunity to showcase one of golf’s leading events at a truly
inclusive venue looking to see the game of golf thrive and be enjoyed by new
generations.
