From the Wikipedia article
St Andrews Golf Club, originally known as St Andrews Mechanics Golf Club, is a private members' golf club located in St Andrews, Scotland. The club is one of the oldest golf clubs in the world, having been established in 1843. The club does not own its own golf course; instead, members use the seven courses comprising St Andrews Links, who are owned by Fife Council and operated by a charitable trust. The club owns its clubhouse, adjacent to the Old Course, the most famous of the St Andrews courses. Former members of the club have won The Open Championship, including Old Tom Morris and Young Tom Morris who both won the title on four occasions each. In total 11 members have won the title with 20 victories.
