Courses

10 courses

The ten courses of the modern Open Championship rotation — the links the R&A has entrusted with the Claret Jug since 1933 — strung across Scotland, England, and Northern Ireland. St Andrews and Carnoustie are public and openly bookable; Turnberry's Ailsa is a resort course; the rest — Muirfield, Royal Troon, Royal St George's, Royal Lytham & St Annes, Royal Birkdale, Royal Liverpool, and Royal Portrush — are private members' clubs that open their fairways to visitors on set days. From Old Tom Morris and Harry Colt to Mackenzie Ross and James Braid, no collection holds more storied turf. A lifelong pursuit across golf's holiest ground.
