Scotland
The Burnside is known for its short holes, and the 158-yard 5th hole, dubbed "Burn," and the 228-yard 14th hole, dubbed "Scoup," will fit in well on any championship course. With the long par four 17th – Sinkies – measuring 473 yards and perhaps one of the most challenging par fours anywhere, a good finish is required. There's no respite at the 18th hole, the 307-yard par four "Lismore," where the out of bounds barrier has ruined many a scorecard.
The Burnside may be overshadowed by its more popular neighbor, but it has its own personality and beauty, and it is a fine game of golf in its own right, with a par of 68 and a standard scratch score of 70 to prove it.
Carnoustie's three public links courses – Championship, Burnside, and Buddon – are used by a number of local clubs, including Carnoustie Caledonia, Carnoustie Mercantile, Carnoustie New Taymouth, Dalhousie, and Carnoustie Ladies, which was established in 1873 and is the world's oldest female golf club.
