R&A World Golf Museum
A golf history museum beside the Old Course, with the earliest clubs and balls, Open Championship trophies and memorabilia of legendary players.
The former British Golf Museum reopened in 2023 under a new name after renovation. Its interactive displays tell the story of more than 500 years of golf. Exhibits include ancient feathery balls, early clubs and mementos from past Open Championships. The museum café and terrace overlook the first and eighteenth holes of the Old Course. Admission is about £15, and you should allow 1 to 1.5 hours.
