Musselburgh Golf Club

The Musselburgh Golf Club was formed in 1938. Having lost the Open Championship when The Hon. Company moved to Muirfield, Musselburgh Town Council decided to build a championship course at Monktonhall. Over the years the course has hosted many amateur championships and on two occasions the Scottish Professional Championship. It has the distinction of being a Regional Open Championship Qualifying course for Scotland until 2010 and in 2013 a Local Final Qualifying venue for THE OPEN at Muirfield. The 5 times Open Champion James Braid, who, in his later years became a renowned golf course architect, designed the new course. He designed a championship standard course, which at 6725 yards long is a true test of golf for even the most accomplished golfer.
