After a spell in the wilderness, Carnoustie got the Open Championship back in 1999 and duly showed why it is regarded by many as being the toughest course in the world.
Italy's Francesco Molinari was the most recent to hoist the Claret Jug at the Angus venue as the Open returned for the first time in eight years, while a number of the game's top players have been brought to their knees by the unwavering challenge of the course.
While essentially flat around the Championship setup, the finish is particularly tough, and the 14th, which boasts the famous 'Spectacles' bunkers, is the first of five holes which will make or break a score.
Nothing else tells you it's a must-play more than the fact it was named best golf course in the world in 2019.
