Murrayfield Golf Club
Edinburgh, Scotland
Located right in central Edinburgh,
Murrayfield Golf Club was started in 1896 and was part of the explosion
of interest in golf at the end of the 19th century which saw Edinburgh
as home to more golf clubs than anywhere else in the country. Originally
12 holes, it was expanded to 18 in 1898. In 1904 Harry Vardon and James
Braid played an exhibition match that attracted thousands and did much
to seal its early reputation. The present layout dates from 1904. The
present clubhouse opened in 1912 and was renovated in 1988.
