Panmure Golf Club

Panmure Golf Club, founded in 1845, sits in Barry, just west of Carnoustie. It is where Ben Hogan spent two weeks getting used to links golf before winning the 1953 Open at Carnoustie, and the 6th hole is named for him. The Perry Bros play it on October 25, 2026, day 6 of our Scotland trip.

About Panmure

Panmure began in 1845 on a 9-hole course at Monifieth laid out by Allan Robertson and Alexander Pirie, and moved to its present site at Barry in 1899. Old Tom Morris was consulted on the new ground, and James Braid suggested changes in 1922.

Before the 1953 Open, Ben Hogan practised here for two weeks with his caddie, Cecil Timms, learning links turf and the smaller British ball. He went on to win at Carnoustie in his only Open appearance. The 6th, stroke index 1, is named in his honour, and the pot bunker he suggested front right of the green is still called Hogan's Bunker.
