This is probably one of those questions where there will never be a definitive answer. I read somewhere that they were playing Golf on Leith Links before any of the others mentioned. I also read that the game originated in Holland. Such sacrilege.

Thanks Johnmof.Have just read that Leith was the first Golf Club to be set up as opposed to golf course. As my husband is from Glasgow he will not want an Edinburgh club to be the forerunner.Bless him.

Hi seabrook, found this: - Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, (1542-1587), allegedly played golf at Musselburgh in 1567. This claim is apparently derived from a charge that the Earl of Moray put before the Westminster Commissioners in the �Articles� in 1568. He accused Mary of playing golf at Seton House only a few days after the murder of her husband, Lord Darnley, in which he claimed she was implicated. The original Seton home (above), now destroyed, was 4 miles east of Musselburgh and it is possible that Musselburgh would have been another place where she played golf. It is likely she played golf, or else the charge would have had no credibility.

Also foung this: - The oldest golf course in the world has many remarkable features which help make it so special to golfers around the world.

It is the Home of Golf where golf was first played 600 years ago and yet it remains a real test of golf for today's champions. Despite its reputation and status, it is a public course and is one of six public courses on St Andrews Links.

Thanks Heatherglen. I had found the same reference to Mussleburgh that you mention but then another mentions St Andrews. I think it is like Johnmof said it is a bit of a grey area. Tried to find an E Mail address for Mussleburgh so that I could contact them but only seemed to be for people booking to play.Still it keeps this old woman happy trying to fathom things out and exercises the old grey matter.
