At the present time it may be Musselburgh.

The oldest record of Golf actually being played was on 2nd March 1672 in the accounts book of Sir John Foulis an Edinburgh accountant. "... played golfe at Musselburgh and lost £3 5' 0". Musselburgh Old Course is still in existence and competitions are still played there reguarly by Musselburgh Old Course Golf Club. (MOCGC)

It is Musselburgh. Roumored (but not proven) Queen Mary played golf there in the 16th century (perhaps 1538).
