Craigielaw Golf Club

Wednesday 7th October

Inland Championship Scotland
Craigielaw Golf Club

Highlights

  • Authentic East Lothian links golf
  • Stunning coastal views along Aberlady Bay
  • Designed by Donald Steel
  • Host venue to Open Championship regional qualifying

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 an Regional Open Qualifying venue.

With challenging greens, cavernous bunkers and spectacular views over the Firth of Forth, Gullane Hill and out towards Edinburgh and Fife, Craigielaw Golf Club is an experience not to be missed.

Gullane NO2

Gullane NO2

Thursday 8th October

Gullane No.2 was designed in 1898 by Willie Park Jnr who was Open Champion in 1885 and 1887 and a renowned golf architect.

Gullane NO2

Thursday 8th October

Links Championship Scotland
Gullane NO2

Highlights

  • Classic East Lothian links golf
  • Panoramic views over the Firth of Forth
  • Designed by James Braid
  • Located in the heart of East Lothian alongside Muirfield and North Berwick

About This Course

Gullane No.2 was designed in 1898 by Willie Park Jnr who was Open Champion in 1885 and 1887 and a renowned golf architect, designing other high-profile courses such as Sunningdale Old and Olympia Fields.

Named because it was second course to be created at Gullane, No.2 is also a Championship Links course having hosted national amateur championships and The Open Final Qualifying.

From Babe Zacharias to Peter Thomson, many great champions have competed and won on No.2 and it is regarded by many members as their favourite course.

More mainstream in length and green size than No.1, Gullane No.2 is still a major challenge for golfers of all levels and abilities. Each nine can play easy or hard depending on the wind direction and the views are simply stunning.

Kispindie Golf Club

Kispindie Golf Club

Thursday 8th October

Kilspindie Golf Club started out as Luffness Golf Club, founded in 1867, it was at the time the 35th registered golf club in the world.

Highlights

  • Charming traditional links golf
  • Stunning Aberlady Bay views
  • Fun and strategic shorter yardage layout
  • Warm and traditional Scottish club atmosphere

About This Course

Kilspindie Golf Club started out as Luffness Golf Club, founded in 1867, it was at the time the 35th registered golf club in the world. Some 27 years later the club was split by its members into Luffness New Golf Club, which was moved closer to the village of Gullane and Kilspindie Golf Club built on links land bordering Craigielaw Farm.

The resulting Willie Park Jnr. and Ben Sayers design is a delightful, classic links golf course that sits alongside Aberlady Bay, on the rugged coastline of the Firth of Forth.

Kilspindie Golf Club could be described as a hidden gem along the golfing paradise of the East Lothain Coastline.
