newspaper:-
Where was the first British Open Golf Championship to be contested at a
course outside Scotland?.

I think that would be 1894 at Royal St.George's, Sandwich - but I would
await confirmation!

To the best of my knowledge no British Open Golf Championship has ever
taken place.

If you wish to ask about the Open Championship then the first one which
took place outside Scotland was in England:-( The R & A website may give
you some clues.

No such thing - it is The Open Championship.

But, you could try 1894 at Sandwich.
