Muirfield Golf Course

Muirfield Golf Course is an 18-hole, private links in Scotland, United Kingdom, designed by Old Tom Morris and opened in 1891. Yardage plays between 5,900 and 6,700 yards. The layout runs on links land close to the sea, with 150 bunkers distributed across the course. A distinctive structural feature sets it apart: the opening nine holes run clockwise, while the back nine run anti-clockwise, meaning the wind rarely hits a golfer from the same direction for two consecutive holes. The course has hosted 16 Open Championships, 11 Amateur Championships, the Ryder Cup, the Walker Cup, the Curtis Cup, and the AIG Women's Open Championship in 2022. In the clubhouse, the Dining Room — a spacious room originally called the Grand Hall — serves as the main restaurant. The Recorder's Room houses the bar and cash desk. The Muirfield Room carries golf-related merchandise for members, guests, and visitors. Muirfield Golf Course is rated 5.0 by 50+ Hole19 golfers.
