1953

Hogan Spent Two Weeks Here Before the Only Open He Entered

He came with his caddie Cecil Timms, chose Panmure for its privacy, and suggested the pot bunker short and right of the sixth green. He won at Carnoustie that July.

Established 1845

Established in 1845 and shaped by icons of the game, Panmure stands as a guardian of golf’s original spirit, authentic, timeless, and beautifully understated. Every hole echoes the legacy of Old Tom Morris and James Braid, every challenge recalls the meticulous preparation of Ben Hogan. Played across firm fescue turf within a natural, unspoiled landscape, Panmure rewards strategy, precision, and respect for the game.

Visitors are welcomed as members for the day, immersed in a culture of quiet excellence and genuine hospitality. More than a course, Panmure is an experience: a rare opportunity to enjoy golf as it was meant to be.

Old Tom Morris, 1899

A links course with a heathland heart. Fescue and marram give way to heather and Scots pine, the ground moves constantly, and the greens are small and quick.
