The Honourable Co of Edinburgh Golfers

Today Muirfield is a renowned host to major championships amateur and professional, international and national, men and ladies — all of which have produced worthy champions of whom more later. Eleven Amateur Championships have been played over the course and 16 Open Championships. Visitors to this website can experience the unique character of the course by watching a short video of Muirfield. With the exception of the Championship tees, the course has changed little since 1936 but, in 2008, in conjunction with the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, golf architect Martin Hawtree was commissioned to advise the Club on how best to ensure Muirfield remains a challenge to the world’s great golfers. If you enjoy a challenge, and wish to play a classic links course, please access our Visitor Tee Time Availability facility to check what is available on our visitor days — Tuesdays and Thursdays.
