HOLE 18: PAR-4, 406 METRES – CARNOUSTIE GOLF LINKS, SCOTLAND

There’s nothing to match the experience of playing one of the most famous and difficult finishing holes in world golf, and Carnoustie’s 18th, called “Home”, fits the bill perfectly. A scene of major drama in the 1999 and 2007 British Opens, this 406-m par-4 will play as a par-5 for the majority of golfers. Faced with a tee shot usually into the wind, you must negotiate the notorious Barry Burn that winds across the fairway like an agitated snake. A five is good here and a six would have won Jean van de Velde the 1999 Open. +44 1241 802 270; www.carnoustiegolflinks.co.uk
