Muirfield Golf Course
Ranked among the world's greatest golf courses, Muirfield has hosted the Open Championship in Great Britain 15 times. This is the home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers - the world's oldest club - which began at the five-hole Leith Links in Edinburgh and whose records date to 1744, when the first rules of golf were written. Developed on a boggy piece of low-lying land in 1891, Muirfield was originally a 16-hole course designed by the legendary Old Tom Morris. Visitors with certified handicaps are welcomed on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Greens fees are steep: Except in winter, expect to pay about £185 for a single round and £240 for two rounds in one day. Tee times go quickly, but there can be availability from mid-October to the end of March if you enquire in the summer.
