Muirfield Village
From Free net encyclopedia
Muirfield Village is an upscale golf-oriented community located in the Columbus suburb of Dublin, Ohio. Founded by Jack Nicklaus, the village contains a golf course that is home to the Memorial Tournament each year. It is most likely named after the course called Muirfield in Scotland, where Nicklaus won his first British Open in 1966.
Muirfield Village plays host to the nationally known Memorial Tournament each year on Memorial Day weekend. The tournament began in 1973.
The country club officially opened in 1973 and homes began to be sold in 1974. Muirfield Village is one of the wealthiest and most notable neighborhoods in Central Ohio and is home to many local CEOs and celebrities including Jack Hanna and others.
Muirfield Village functions as its own taxing unit with power to raise money for street lights, landscaping, and other municipal-like functions, despite being with the city of Dublin, Ohio. It has its own neighborhood council for residents to participate in.
