Musselburgh Links - The Oldest Playing Golf Course in the World. Documentary evidence shows that golf was played on Musselburgh Links in 1672 although Mary, Queen of Scots reputedly played here in 1567.
The Old Links at Musselburgh was originally seven holes, with another added in 1838 and the full nine-holes came into play in 1870. The first three holes stretched eastwards from the grandstand at the racecourse, site of the former clubhouse of the Honourable Company.
Musselburgh has also been host to 6 open golf championships. So why not visit for a day of golfing in the beautiful scottish countryside and take in a bit of the memorbillia while you are here.
You can hire Hickory shafted clubs to have the unique experience of playing this original Open Championship course.
