Golf is an ancient game and its origin is obscure.

The Heritage of Golf Museum shows how the game developed
after it arrived in Scotland from Holland between 1400 and 1500 AD.

The visitor can see the simple beginnings, the natural materials
and the craft and skill of the early clubmakers:
some successes and failures in early experiments
and the beginnings of the modern game.

The museum tells the story from the time when only a few people
here in the East of Scotland coaxed their featheries round the rough links
to the present day when multitudes of men and women
spend vast fortunes on this pastime of beauty and skill.
