MUIRFIELD

Many golfers will hope for the chance of playing the famous Muirfield Course during their stay in Scotland.

The original course was designed by Old Tom Morris and 16 holes built by hand and horse were opened on 3rd May 1891, with two more added in December. Muirfield was the first course designed in two loops of nine holes, the first nine going round the perimeter of the property in a clockwise direction, the second nine contained inside the first, running anticlockwise, and since never more than three successive holes run in the same direction, any wind that blows afflicts the golfer from all points during a round.
Muirfield is home to the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers who held their first meeting on Leith Links in 1744.

Unfortunately there are strict rules for playing Muirfield:

  • When applying for tee times at Muirfield you are required to do so in advance Their diary for the following year opens in November and therefore all applications must be done in October 2003 in order to get a tee time in 2004.
  • When applying we must also include your full names, handicaps and names of clubs where you hold membership, only then will the application be accepted.
  • If you are successful and are given tee times you are required to pay in full within 4 weeks of the tee time being issued.

Please note though that an application 12 month in advance does not mean a guaranteed teetime but we will try our best to make your golfing dream come true.

Muirfield cost £122.00 per round

The above cost includes a Travel Scot World booking and administration fee. The rate is estimated at the moment for 2004. The correct rate will be advised in November 2003 when the diary for the following year opens.
