Muirfield is a golf course in Scotland which is one of the rotation of courses used for The Open Championship.

The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers

The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers is the longest established golf club in the world, although the game of golf is several centuries older. The club's records date back to 1744 when it produces thirteen "Rules of Golf" for its first competition which was played for the Silver Club. The club played on the 5 holes at Leith Links for nearly a century but in 1836 it moved to Musselburgh's 9-hole Old Course. Like many prestigous Scottish courses including St Andrews Musselburgh is a public course, and in 1891 the club built a private course at Muirfield.

Muirfield has hosted The Open Championship fifteen times, most recently in 2002, The Amateur Championship, the Ryder Cup, the Walker Cup, the Curtis Cup and many other tournaments.
