A perfect course, small, tight and great strategic routing.

The golf course is continually changing directions, with the front nine sweeping clockwise around the perimeter and the second nine playing anticlockwise within the loop. It is wrong to pick out individual holes at Muirfield, as that would be to betray the true essence, where the summation of the holes is far greater than each taken in isolation.

The golf course is widely recognised as the fairest course on the Open rota. A must-play.

Continually changing direction with the front 9 sweeping clockwise around the perimeter and the second 9 playing anti clockwise within the loop. I can’t pick out individual holes as that would betray the true essence in that the summation of the holes overall is far greater than each taken individually. A truly outstanding design

Iconic course, formerly on my doorstep surrounded by imho the best links golfing worldwide. Traditional links, set very so slightly inland but being Scotland the weather changes constantly proving a true test of links golf - note all the open winners here only the top of the tree have lifted the claret jug at Muirfield. Sublime condition from tee to green. Clubhouse is very traditional with the reek of history throughout.

Ok I might be a bit controversial here, I love links golf but for me this course is overrated, yes it's in unbelievable condition but I was expecting more.. too many holes very similar. I was left very underwhelmed. Sorry but wouldn't make my top 10. Views are also a big thing for me, and it's not got much to offer on that from either. Yes you can't take away its a great course but not a top 10 in my eyes... Not a course that I thought I would want to rush back and play...
