The Birth place of the Open and Unique in the history of the game, without the foresight of the members of this famous club we would not be treated to the annual spectacle of the Worlds most famous Tournament.

The course was laid out by old Tom Morris in 1850 and when you visit the course you will see why it is still as difficult today as it was then. The Newly built clubhouse facilities are well worth the green fees alone whilst the museum and its unreplaceable artifacts chart a history that is as fascinating as any in the world of golf.

If you manage too drag yourself out onto the course look out for the Cardinal Bunker on the 3rd hole which is the largest in the world and you will soon be able to tell your friends that you were whipped by a Cardinal and no it is not another scandal in the Clergy!!. Seriously though this course should not be missed in any tour of Scotland but make sure to plan your visit well in advance if to be sure of obtaining your preferred times.
