The Medal Course at Montrose 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. 
Montrose
Links is undoubtedly one of the oldest and most historic Links in Scotland,
golf having been played for more than 400 years. To a young Montrose lad
by the name of James Melville goes the credit for recording the existance
of golf at Montrose as early as 1562 so the game was obviously being played
there prior to that date.
 While Montrose
cannot boast the permanency of the Old Course at St. Andrews for instance, there
are still parts of the course which have been played over for more than 350 years.
What Montrose can claim uniquely however; is to have had at one stage in its history,
the course with the greatest number of holes. When Musselburgh had 5 holes Montrose
had 25 and although they were not all played on every occasion they were used
for a unique event in 1866 which attracted Willie Park, Andrew Strath and Jamie
Anderson, three players who were all Open Champions.
