Carnoustie Prints

Spectacles and Hillocks, on Scotland's severest championship links.

Linda Hartough's Carnoustie painting brings together the 14th, Spectacles, with its twin bunkers cut into the ridge before the green, and the 4th, Hillocks, with its rumpled fairway.

Carnoustie is widely considered the most demanding course on The Open rotation. It is relatively flat and open, but its bunkers are deep, its rough is thick, and the Barry Burn and its tributary wind across the closing holes. The wind off the North Sea can blow from any direction. The finish, from the 16th to the 18th, is among the hardest in championship golf.

Holes at Carnoustie have names. The 4th is Hillocks, for its rumpled fairway. The 14th, Spectacles, is a par 5 whose second shot must clear two deep bunkers set side by side in a ridge in front of the green, like a pair of eyeglasses. The 6th is called Hogan's Alley after Ben Hogan, who won The Open here in 1953 in his only appearance in the championship.

Choosing a Carnoustie print

It is published at 12"x20" or 21"x36" as a canvas giclée or as a textured canvas, which reproduces the brush strokes of the original. Both are framed without glass.

The prints

#14 & #4 Carnoustie

Two of Carnoustie’s most feared challenges showcase the course’s championship pedigree. The 14th, a brutal par-5, demands three precise shots through narrow corridors guarded by the treacherous Barry Burn that snakes menacingly across the fairway twice. The 4th, a demanding par-4, requires surgical accuracy off the tee to avoid deep bunkers and rough, followed by an approach to a well-defended green. The Textured Canvas is on sale at 50% off.
