The brutal, Barry Burn-dominated last three holes are well known after the recent Opens, and they are the rule rather than the exception. Indeed, the 1st, 3rd and 5th are arguably as good a welcome to the course as the aforementioned trio is a conclusion. Carnoustie is a links in name but far from a pure strain of the form. You rarely catch a glimpse of the sea, the landscape is generally flat.
