The area not only features the oldest course in the world at Musselburgh Links but was also the location of the first Ryder Cup played in Scotland in 1973, at Muirfield: a course that inspired Jack Nicklaus to construct Muirfield Village in Ohio.

Scotland’s Golf Coast also has a diverse offering of accommodation to offer golfers and their families the perfect opportunity to rest, relax and unwind before enjoying another round of golf.
