There are a number of streets around the Fullerton Golf Course named for more famous links around the world: Rivera Court, Inverness Court, Pebble Beach Place. But there's also a Murfield Court.
The only problem is that the famous golf course is called Muirfield. Ginny King wrote "The Street Where You Live: Why Did They Name It...?" She says Muirfield is the name of the Columbus, Ohio course designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus.
"The reason he called it that is because the Muirfield Golf Course in Scotland is one used in rotation for the Open championship, and he was a winner there. And he was so impressed with the course that that's when he came back to Columbus and laid out his course to be similar, and named it Muirfield."
And that was supposed to be the street name in Fullerton, but Fullerton city planners misspelled it on the maps. So today, Muirfield Court is known as Murfield.
