There is some debate as to when and where the game of Golf originated from. Throughout history there have been a bunch of games involving a ball and stick. The Romans played a game with a feather stuffed ball. The Japanese and Chinese played a game with a wooden ball. The most legitimate counter claim comes from Holland where the Dutch played a game called Kolf, Kolfspel or Kloven.
Regardless of these claims the game we know and love as golf came from and was perfected in Scotland. In the 15th century, people were playing the game on the linksland that surrounded the town of St. Andrews.
The original course was that tract of "worthless" linksland that was declared common land. This made it accessible to everyone. Players at the time let the lay of the land, with it's rolling dunes, knolls and hollows, set the course and the original golf course was actually 22 holes long.
