The shining star of scotland’s golf coast…

Craigielaw Golf Club

When you are competing against the best, you must ‘up your game’. That is why we witness so many terrific sporting spectacles, when the greatest come head to head and drive their game to a higher level. So, when your club is set amongst a further 22 golf courses, including the world-renowned greats such as Muirfield, North Berwick and Gullane, you have to be doing something special to hold your own against such celebrated company. So, what is it that sets Craigielaw Golf Club apart?

Situated on Scotland’s Golf Coast, Craigielaw truly is a golfers’ paradise. Boasting a challenging 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Donald Steel, Craigielaw is inspired by the great links courses of Britain. It is equal to many of the finest examples of such courses, some of which are conveniently located nearby in the golf rich East Lothian area.

Despite only opening in 2001, the course has already hosted many national events, including the 2006 Scottish Amateur Strokeplay Championship and was a qualifying course for the 2007 British Seniors Open at Muirfield. In August 2019, it played host to the Scottish Seniors Open.

With its 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. Combine this with the friendly welcome and efficiency of service, and you can soon see why Craigielaw has become our choice as Scotland’s finest east coast golf course.

Whether for a simple round of golf, a business meeting or convivial lunch, both active and enthusiastic members, and visitors alike, are welcomed to take advantage of the excellent facilities. Aside from the championship links course, make use of the grass academy practice ground and driving range, or tidy up your short game on the practice putting green. There is also a 6-hole par 3 course to help hone your game.

Off the course, the clubhouse is open to golfers and non-golfers alike. Offering the finest locally and seasonally produced food, alongside an extensive range or whiskies, wine and beer, the restaurant at Craigielaw offers guests a varied and delicious menu with stunning views and friendly service. Whether for a bacon roll before hitting the golf course, having a coffee and catching up with friends, lunch with family or delicious evening meal, it really is perfect for all occasions.

You can even stay in the Craigielaw Lodge, and enjoy Scottish hospitality at its best, in comfortable en-suite rooms overlooking the golf course. The Lodge is the ideal base for exploring ‘Scotland’s Golf Coast’ and the beautiful East Lothian coastline with its stunning beaches, castles and walks - perfect for golfing groups, family holidays and even romantic getaways.

Located just a half hour drive from Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital, Craigielaw caters to all the discerning golfer’s needs.
