Muirfield Golf Course

Price: £1275 per person

(15th-22nd July 2013)

Muirfield last hosted The Open Championship in 2002, when South Africa’s Ernie Els won his third Major after the first and only four man, four-hole playoff in Open Championship history. This will be the sixteenth time that The Open has been staged at the club, which held its first Championship in 1892.

Winners of previous Muirfield Opens include golf’s biggest names, Nick Faldo (1987, 1992), Tom Watson (1980), Lee Trevino (1972), Jack Nicklaus (1966) and Gary Player (1959) have all lifted the Claret Jug there over the last 50 years. Other winners include Harry Vardon (1896), James Braid (1901, 1906), Walter Hagen (1929) and Henry Cotton (1948).

There are only two occasions when Edinburgh is beautiful: day and night. It’s a city that wears its history as a badge, making sure that it’s always looking its best and welcoming visitors to its festivals and events with a warmth that’s uniquely Scottish.

Jurys Inn Edinburgh hotel, just off the famous Royal Mile on Jeffrey Street, is located in the Old Town and central to much of its beautiful architecture. It is within walking distance of all the major tourist attractions, shops and only a few minutes walk to Waverley station to catch your train to watch the 142nd Open golf championship.

Included in your package price is:

  • 7 nights accommodation sharing a twin/double room (15th - 22nd July)
  • Full Scottish Breakfast daily
  • 3 dinners in your hotel (simply advise the hotel which nights you would like to dine)
  • Packed lunches for the four championship days (18th - 21st July)
  • Return standard class Golflink rail tickets on the four championship days (18th - 21st July)
  • Season ticket for the 2013 Open Championship (15th - 21st July)
  • VAT @ 20%


We can change any of the above, except the dates/hotel, and custom build a package to suit your needs.  Why not play on some of the great golf courses in the east of Scotland while you are there.  We will book your tee-times for you.  Prefer to have a rental car instead of the train?  No bother, we will organise this for you.
