Muirfield Course Many of the world's greatest players believe that Muirfield golf course near Edinburgh 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 subtle bumps and hollows as at St Andrews, or the 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, and is a hugely demanding test where the dangers are in open view for all to see. But this is a very private club and the members guard their privacy jealously. For visitor tee times visit their website for full details.
