Title says it all. Going to the Open Sunday and looking for some local knowledge as to the best places on the course to see the action. Maybe some good spots to see a few different holes at once?

I don't know how it will set up with crowd control -- where the ropes are and where the crowds are heaviest -- but the 17th tee is right between the first green and the 16th green and real close to the 15th tee. Also, deeper into the course, the 10th tee is near the 9th green and 11th green and 12th tee.

Judging by what I'm seeing on TV today, your best shot at seeing the players in action would be to camp out in the clubhouse ...

I'd definitely go to the bleachers on 16 green. From there you can see 15 tee, 16 green, 17 tee with 17 green in the distance and 1 green behind you, if you're on top of the bleachers.

Unfortunately, the weather means the Trophy Club will be the best option (Out of the rain).
My plan for Saturday (assuming they play) the outward leg will be the 5th green. It is an easy walk to 10/11/12 from there to catch them coming back. After that, I am going for the 15th green area.
Good luck and keep dry.
