Description

Spend all week on the greens with these (2) Patron badges for the 2014 Memorial Tournament, which is scheduled for May 26- June 1.  Patron Badges are good for admission to grounds for all seven days.


Muirfield Village Golf Club was the dream and work of Jack, in association with Desmond Muirhead. The land was acquired in 1966, but construction did not begin until July 28, 1972. The golf course is situated on 220 acres, which includes an 11-acre driving range. The course was officially dedicated on Memorial Day, May 27, 1974, with an exhibition match between Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf. Nicklaus scored a six-under par 66, which stood as the course record until 1979.


The 18-hole layout, selected by Golf Digest as No. 17 among "America's 100 Greatest Courses," played at 6,978 yards in its original form, but is 7,221 at present. It had 77 bunkers, a number since reduced to 71, and water can be a hazard on 11 holes.


 























"I set out to build not only an outstanding golf course for every level of player, but a magnificent course for watching a tournament...I thought the Masters was a great thing for golf and that I'd like to do the same thing in Columbus."


- Jack Nicklaus
