About This Course
Inspired by the great links courses of Britain, particularly those on land which are less dominated by dunes, Craigielaw is equal to many of the finest examples of such courses; some of which are conveniently located nearby in the East Lothian area. Designed by Donald Steel & Co. the course opened in 2001 and in this short period has been host to many national events, including the 2006 Scottish Amateur Strokeplay Championship, 2007 British Seniors Open at Muirfield and now a Regional Open Qualifying venue.

What Past Attendees Say
Absolutely first class from start to finish. The courses were incredible, the hotel was spot on, and the format made it competitive but fun. Already booked for next year.
Played some courses I'd never have gotten on myself. The whole trip was organised perfectly — we just turned up and played. Can't recommend HIO enough.
Great value for what you get. Three top courses, two nights in a cracking hotel, and a chance to win a trip to TPC Sawgrass. What's not to like?
Play for a Trip to TPC Sawgrass
The winning pair at every HIO event qualifies for the National Pairs Playoff Finals at a top UK venue. The leading Stableford scores plus the Nearest the Pin winner book their seats to Florida for the HIO Grand Final at TPC Sawgrass — all expenses paid.
