Overview

The original course at Muirfield, created by Old Tom Morris, was initially limited by the modest area of land initially leased by the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers. However, by 1922, not only had the leased ground been purchased, an additional 50 acres of links land had also been acquired. A revised Muirfield layout, designed by Harry Colt in 1925, enhanced by Tom Simpson in the 1930’s and refined by Martin Hawtree in 2011, has resulted in an internationally admired golfing challenge which consistently ranks amongst the leading courses in the world.
