Great day and event really well organised. BUT having the players total scores in white lettering on red was a nightmare. It meant the crowd did not immediately react to changes in scores as no one could make out numbers. Many people therefore resorted to using phones to see scores. Otherwise great.
When entering the public car park, there are 2 fields to park in, left or right, depending on which one you are directed to.
On leaving the car park at the end of the tournament, if you are in the right hand car park then be prepared to sit in your car going nowhere for well over an hour due to the complete inexperience of the young boys with hi vis vests and hats on. Cars from all over the place are trying get out of the one exit.
However, if you were in the left hand car park on entering, the exit process is more simple and quicker.
There are 2 exits overall and not one, in fact I saw cars going up another road towards the Muirfield exit.
I was in the wrong side car park, sat for over an hour whilst people were abusing the car park boys, with no supervisors or management to help them, then drove to the other left hand car park road exit and got out in 10 minutes.
The organisers haven't learned or don't care from previous years car park chaos. They have your money and they are patting themselves on the back that the golf itself went well.
As usual fantastic week
Amazing course, well set up for fans. Needs to be more entrances and exits for parking.
Fantastic day at the golf , no course maps available early in morning and signage to different holes non existent . Other than that it was incredible. Food , toilets etc very good.
Location and shuttle bus were excellent, plenty of toilets and seating area and food stalls
Very scenic course and easy to move around. Plenty of opportunities to view players, good facilities and hospitality areas. Plenty of well organised car parking on the boundary. All this made our day watching golf very relaxed and enjoyable.
Everybody friendly and I felt a very warm welcome and very good fews. I‘ll be back. Thank you all😊
A great place to hold the Scottish open as access is good and the course big enough to absorb the spectators without it feeling rammed. Food outlets ok but more coffee stands required.
Absolutely fantastic day, really well organised, fantastic golf course with some amazing views.
The event was very well organised and the personal very obliging. The course layout worked well and hardly any congestion. Only negative limited waste bins apart from the eating areas.
Well organised tournament on the whole. Weather not as good as one would expect for July!! Good structure and food support for fans. Able to move around the course easily. Only gripe was someone took the car park boards designed to help you find your car down early, before we'd found our car. Doh.
Brilliant organisation through out - sadly let down dramatically with very poor planning at end on Saturday - we waited 2 and 1/4 hours to get out the gate. - [they] simply weren't organized and just lost control completely- very very poor
Great venue, parking close was a bonus. Just had a really good time.
It was a miracle we could attent the first day.
The busdriver let far too many people into the bus even on the upperdeck people were standing as on the lower one.
Somewhere on the way he crashed into the boardwalk ,the bus nearly toppled over,passengers screaming and falling over each other.
The busdriver did not even bother apologise, stopped the bus kicked the dent and went on in the same way.
Finally on the course there were 3 things which in my opinion need some inprovement next year:
8 people checking bags instead of 4
More garbagebins
beter signage.
Had a great time and thought overall was well run. Improvements could be made with car parking (debacle leaving car park with only 1 exit and staff lost control of situation) + improvement in on line tix booking as I bought a grandstand tix for Sunday unaware that I already had this privilege with tix+ tickets. A warning this is a double up when booking would be helpful
Fantastic venue, great car parking close to entrance, let down by poor quality catering
Great set up, good stands excellent choice of foods, toilets and vantage points. Disappointed that there was no physical programme, not keen on using an app and the prices for the merchandise were excessive. £12 for a ball marker ! Even the most exclusive clubs only charge a fiver. Other than that a great success
I haven't been since 2017 .. since then the pricing structure ticket issuing and cost has become somewhat unfair and has risen so much .. its now hard to justify the prices. The event however I loved and went each year with my dad when he was able to go. Maybe I'll be back one day but not for now
easy to purchase tickets, constant updates about the event, we'll sign posted at the event, plenty of information points. overall a great day,, only downside was after the event finished the organization to leave the car parks was atrocious, it was basically a free for all, cars coming from all directions to one exit point,, eventually the police turned up to direct traffic on the exit road, and marshalls finally showed up to filter traffic, it took two hours to exit car park and get onto a road, utter shambles and spoiled what was otherwise an excellent day.
