The Medal Course at Montrose is the championship course and is the fifth oldest golf course in the world. This is a majestic layout in the true traditions of Scottish Links golf and has hosted many important events in its history including the Scottish Professional Championship in 1967 and 1970, the Scottish Amateur Championship in 1975 and the British Boys' Championship and Internationals in 1991. Because of all these factors the Links was honoured by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in being chosen as a Final Qualifying Course for the Open Championship at Carnoustie in 1999 and again in 2007.

Montrose is simply one of the finest links courses on Scotland's east coast. It is also a course much admired by American Ben Crenshaw. "A magnificent stretch of marvellously natural ground which depicts how the game was born," said the American during one visit.

The challenge of the Medal course often comes down to the weather. If the sea breeze is more than a breeze then the challenge is much tougher. Good shot making is required on every hole and the straighter you are, the better chance you have of a good score.
