About the Course
Host venue for The Open Championship regional qualifying and the Staysure Scottish Seniors Open. Designed by Donald Steel (the only architect to have advised every course to appear on The Open rota). A charming & playable coastal links hidden gem in the middle of Scotland’s illustrious golf coast. A full Championship links course with challenging greens, well placed pot bunkers, strategic walls and magnificent views over the Firth of Forth, Gullane Hill and out towards Edinburgh and Fife, Craigielaw Golf Club is an experience not to be missed.
Sherpa Review
by Jamie Fleming
Craigielaw’s championship course delivers a modern links test built for match play thanks to a layout that encourages risk-reward decisions, where players must weigh the benefits of aggressive play against the potential for costly mistakes. These challenges and historic charm combined with its intimate setting on Aberlady bay, make it an ideal venue for dramatic and memorable matches.
