| Description |
Sadly these famous links have been allowed to fall into decline over the years and the racecourse has cut into the land available.
Six Open Championships were played here plus many famous and infamous matches, Allan Robertson and Old Tom Morris versus Musselburgh's Dunn brothers; Willie Park against Old Tom Morris. The Musselburgh crowds of the day, 'they damned miners' as Andrew Kirkaldy called them, made US Ryder Cup crowds seem a model of decorum with well aimed kicks to reposition golf balls to favour a local man on whom large sums were bet.
