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.
