Muirfield Tee Times Are Booked Solid Through 2023

Everyone has bucket list golf courses. For some of us it’s Pebble Beach, the Ocean Course at Kiawah, the Old Course in St. Andrews, Pinehurst No. 2, or anything in between. But if your bucket list course is Muirfield in Scotland you’re going to have to wait awhile for a tee time.

Tee times for 2023 went on sale this morning at 9 a.m. local time in Scotland and within a couple of hours every single summer tee time was totally sold out.

The course designed by Old Tom Morris in 1891 has hosted 16 Open Championships most recently in 2013 when Phil Mickelson won. Other past champions at the historic venue include Ernie Els, Nick Faldo, Tom Watson, Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Walter Hagen.

Wow, I knew golf has been booming ever since the COVID-19 pandemic but I didn’t realize people were dying to play this badly! Especially in the U.K. where multiple lockdowns due to the pandemic halted all golf activities, and now people are doing whatever they can to get out on the course to make up for lost time.

I’d go crazy if my local course didn’t have any tee times from now until the end of summer 2023.

Can you imagine you have a tee time booked for July 18th, 2023 and the wife tells you that there’s a family party that you have to go to that day instead? Or you’ve been waiting over a year for your tee time and its pouring rain the whole round?

Muirfield is going to be bringing in some serious money from now until the end of summer 2023. Booked solid with tee times and being an Open Championship venue everyone is going to be raiding the pro shop for themselves and any golfing buddies at home

If Muirfield was on your list of courses you were hoping to play in your 2023 Scotland trip, it’s time to start looking at 2024 instead.
