The Broomfield Course is the shorter of the two 18-hole courses at Montrose Golf Links on Scotland's Angus coast. Harry Colt designed Broomfield in 1907, six years before he finalised the routing of Montrose's separate 1562 Course. The current Broomfield measures 4,771 yards from the White tees and plays to par 67, with a men's course rating of 63.1 and slope of 100.
It is a genuine links layout but is deliberately more compact than the neighbouring 1562 Course, making it suitable for shorter rounds and for golfers who want to play both Montrose courses in a day. Montrose's official hole guide preserves individual hole names including Auld Curlie, Alex H. Findlay, The Ditch, Whinfield, Whins, Steeple and Mounds.
The course is an 18-hole links golf course. It plays to par 67, 4,771 yards, course rating 63.1 and slope rating 100. Designed by Harry Colt, the course originally opened in 1907. It is open to the public.
Golf at Montrose predates the Broomfield Course by centuries. Around the turn of the twentieth century, changes to the East Links and the town's golf provision created the need for additional and revised golf ground. Harry Colt designed the Broomfield Course in 1907.
Broomfield developed as the shorter companion to Montrose's principal links. Its present 4,771-yard length places more emphasis on shorter approach play and the characteristics of the links ground than on raw distance.
Colt later returned to Montrose's golf landscape and in 1913 finalised the routing of what is now called the 1562 Course. That later work belongs to the separate course and should not be conflated with Broomfield's 1907 origin.
Montrose Golf Links operates Broomfield as an 18-hole, par-67 visitor-accessible course. The Links are managed by Montrose Caledonia and Royal Montrose Mercantile Golf Club in association with Angus Council.
