One of the oldest golf courses in the world, Musselburgh Links is a public course run by East Lothian Council. It may only have nine holes, but it has been the venue for the Open six times between 1874 and 1889. Two time champion Willie Park Jnr, from Scotland, was the last golfer to triumph there.
