For a unique Christmas shopping experience why not take time out from the hustle and bustle of the high street to come along to the British Golf Museum. Our welcoming staff can help you solve your Christmas gift dilemmas. Let us guide you to the perfect gift for the your golf enthusiast. Choose from our extensive range of unique golfing accessories and once you have finished, we will gift wrap and gift tag it for you! The museum is located just 5 minutes walk from the main shopping area in St Andrews, at the heart of the Home of Golf. The museum lies in a unique location. Yards from the front doors of The Royal and Ancient Golf Clubhouse, the Old Course and facing the beautiful West Sands beach. We have ample car parking directly beside the museum and are just 5 minutes walk from the bus station.

Once inside, why not take time out from shopping to visit our 5 Star, award- winning museum. On entering the museum you can compare your grips to the greats with our Major's Collection of bronze casts of the grips of golfing greats from Nick Faldo to Jack Nicklaus. Visitors are then greeted with continuous highlights from past Open Championships. Once inside the museum you can explore the history of golf from the Middle Ages to the present day through exciting displays and stunning new interactives. A unique opportunity awaits at the end of your visit to practice putting with replica clubs and balls from the past. 'The 18th Hole' gives visitors the chance to test their golfing knowledge, practice their putting and to dress up in period golfing costume.

Every visitor who buys an entry ticket to the museum receives a complimentary guide to remind you of your visit. If you are unable to come to the museum, don't despair. You can shop online from the comfort of your home or office where you will find a wide selection of our products at www.britishgolfmuseumshop.co.uk

The museum is open 7 days a week 10am-4pm in the run up to Christmas but will be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. We re-open to the public on the 27th through to the 30th December and admission at this time is FREE to all visitors. Come along and enjoy a break from the hectic holiday season at the British Golf Museum.
