Muirfield, in Scotland's 'Golf Coast' is regarded by many of the game's top players as being the "fairest" on the rota of courses used by the R&A for the Open Championship.

Steeped in tradition, this links masterpiece is a pleasure to play, with an array of white bunkers in all shapes and sizes. It has all the features of a classic links golf course, and it has not lost its elegance since hosting its first Open championship in 1892.

A number of huge names have hoisted the Claret Jug here, including Jack Nicklaus, who was so impressed that he decided to name his own course in Ohio as 'Muirfield Village'.

One of the unusual charms about the Scottish version is that it is laid out in two separate loops, the front nine running clockwise on the outer and the back nine going in the opposite direction on the inner, changing wind direction on every hole.
