Musselburgh Links, Golf course in East Lothian, Scotland.
Musselburgh Links features a nine-hole par 34 layout situated within the Musselburgh Racecourse, offering traditional Scottish golf experience to players.
The course holds documented evidence of golf being played on its grounds since 1672, making it one of the earliest established golf courses in the world.
The standard golf hole diameter of four and a quarter inches originated from the width of a drain pipe used at Musselburgh Links in the 19th century.
Visitors can reserve tee times through the Starter's Office at 0131 653 5122 or book online for Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday play sessions.
Players have the option to rent hickory golf clubs to experience the course as golfers did during the six Open Championships held between 1874 and 1889.
