FREE entry for all visitors to the British Golf Museum, between Saturday 25th November and Sunday 3rd December, as part of the St Andrew’s Festival Week celebrations.

Where better to find out about the history of golf than at its home, in St Andrews?  Situated just 67 yards from the 1st tee of the Old Course, the museum is packed full of interesting exhibits and unusual displays, which follow the history of the game from its origins in the Middle Ages right through to the 21st century.  Rare black and white film footage, dating to the early 1900s, allows a glimpse of the game’s early professionals in action.  Get interactive and view Open Championship highlights from 1926-2005 or test your knowledge of The Rules of Golf. 

End your visit by dressing up in period golf costume or practice putting using replica clubs and balls from the last 175 years. 

The museum is open from 10 am to 4 pm daily.  A visit here will make the perfect break from playing golf.
