Scotrail have a train/bus offer on. Price is normal off peak ticket + £5, buses from Drem to the course. £5 return on the bus is a bit rich though.
Read this if you're going to the OPEN, Muirfiled....Gullane.

Sunday Martin, looking forward to it. Went all week last time it was there due to it being on my doorstep so a good excuse to see some friends and take in the golf!
Train from Edinburgh may well be the best bet then and get the shuttle from Drem.

Food YES, Drink not sure but you are not allowed to leave the course with drink. They have airport type xray machines for baggage when entering.

i seen shoes in the main shop but nothing big. Didn't see anywhere to buy clubs altho i did see a woman walking about with a mizuno 825 driver in a bag. Maybe there was something by the swing zone area but i never looked in that area when i was there on tuesday.

Yes you can take drink in.....only in moderation. I asked and if you take bags of drink they won't let you in. If you take a few cans or a bottle of wine it should be okay.

It's all about money. Mizuno are the main people at this open, the rest must not have come up with the cash. Same with the official open wear......Ralph Lauren, if you dont like the price then you don't have any other choice. They can stick it..........

yeah i looked around the Ralph Lauren stuff. What a joke the prices were. There was no one looking in that section when i was in.

And £20 for a hat with The Open written on it not even decent looking caps.

Peter Allis is currently railing against the obscene prices of everything there and the lack of golf merchandise and equipment there to buy. With the numbers being a lot down yesterday perhaps the R&A have misjudged this one a bit?

If there looks like a play off on Sunday, here is a wee tip that worked out very well for us on the last Open at Muirfield.
Let the last pairing go through and then grab the back seats on the stand behind the 16th green.
You can see all the shots except 17th green and 18th hole.
A pair of binoculars are probably handy as well

Tented village is bad, real bad. I have not spent a penny in 6 days.

Or grab a seat in the first tee stands, done that this evening and it was the dogs nads.
