According to sports historians, the standard of 18-hole golf courses was established as a design choice by the first modern golf course rather than being influenced by interesting myths, as some may suggest.
The game of golf originated in Scotland during the 15th century, with the first 18-hole course built at St. Andrews in 1754, forcing the game to be played differently as a result of the change.
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews is the club’s current name, and it has hosted the Open Championship on plenty of occasions.
