The Open Championship Venues Trail

Difficulty

Lifelong Pursuit

Access

Mostly Private

Courses

10 courses

Ten Open Championship venues that have each hosted the Claret Jug at least twice since 1995. St Andrews and Carnoustie are public and bookable — start there. But Muirfield, Royal Troon, Royal Lytham & St Annes, Royal Birkdale, Royal St George's, Royal Liverpool, Royal Portrush, and Turnberry range from resort bookings to serious club connections. Eight of ten venues are private or resort-only. The Open rota is a links odyssey across Scotland, England, and Northern Ireland — a lifelong pursuit across the most storied turf in golf.
