Craigielaw Golf Club & Lodge sits on a stunning outcrop, watching over the mouth of the River Forth and the North Sea beyond, creating the setting for a golf break to remember.

Although, the golf course is one of the youngest on Scotland’s ‘Golf Coast’, it has already hosted the Scottish Senior Open in 2018 and is ranked in the top 80 courses in the country.

The Lodge at Craigielaw is the perfect addition to Donald Steel’s magnificent golf course, located just 30 minutes from Edinburgh, it makes for the ideal base from which to play East Lothian’s epic courses. The Lodge features well-appointed rooms and is attached directly to the clubhouse.

Craigielaw Golf Course

Located in the picturesque village of Aberlady, and bordering the traditional links at Kilspindie, Craigielaw is not a classic seaside course. Massive, undulating putting surfaces give the course an American resort edge, but the overriding influence is the firm, sandy turf underfoot.

Being a modern build, Craigielaw is longer and more open than many older links, but the key to scoring still lies with the short game. The tough greens and the endless cavernous bunkers which surround them make this course a real gem.

Despite its youth, Craigielaw has already been awarded the 2006 Scottish Amateur Strokeplay Championship, and the qualifying for the 2007 Senior Open Championship, to be staged at nearby Muirfield. The excellent practice facilities at Craigielaw make it a haven for some of Scotland's best golfers.
