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).

I think the maximum is par 36 for each nine holes. I play a par 35 course, have played a par 34 course, but know of none above 36. There actually are some par 74 courses, which is 37 on each nine. I play a course that is par 72 but the front nine is 35 and the back is 37. The SAS Masters, played at Baresback Golf & Country Club in Malmo Sweden is a par 73 golf course.
