Ticket Information
Follow in the footsteps of legends at Muirfield, a classic links course with championship pedigree.
Many of the world's finest golfers believe that Muirfield is the fairest examination of championship golf among all the great and historic courses of the British Isles. If the definition of fairest is that there are no hidden bunkers, or as many humps and hollows as there are at the Old Course at St Andrews or the various blind shots of Prestwick, for instance, then there can be little argument.
Muirfield is the home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, the world's oldest golf club. The course is a hugely demanding test where the dangers are in open view for all to see and the tight fairways require great accuracy off the tee.
Although Muirfield is a links course as it is set upon elevated ancient land claimed from the sea as highlighted by its sandy base and small sea shells in the bunkers, it has an unusual layout. Most links courses run along the coast and then back again leading to two sets of nine holes, each of which face roughly in the same direction. Muirfield, however, was amongst the first courses to depart from this arrangement and is arranged as two loops of nine holes, one clockwise, one counterclockwise. This means that, assuming the wind direction remains the same throughout a round, every hole on the course has a different apparent wind direction from the tee. No more than three consecutive holes follow the same direction at any stage.
Award winning hospitality and an exceptional experience are on offer at The Gallery Restaurant
This exclusive a la carte restaurant on the top floor of the Pavilion overlooking Murifield's 9th hole offers you and your guests the ultimate in fine dining. A prestigious, perfect sanctuary where you can luxuriate in the unique atmopshere of the world's oldest Major.
