What the club says: 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. 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.
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 and was a qualifying course for the 2007 British Seniors Open at Muirfield.

Reviewed Aug 24 2020 by Steven K - rated 3 out of 5 Decent course, not the best hospitality.
Enjoyed the golf, but would describe the welcome in the pro shop and in the bar/restaurant as abrupt. Being asked if we were members set the tone, as we were visitors we did feel second class. The course was in good condition and had some good holes, but as the land is shared with Kilspindie, would suggest you play there as it was way better.Course (layout/challlenge)

Start of 3 rounds on the coast and nice way to start, can imagine Craigielaw to be fearsome if the rough is left to grow thick. We all enjoyed our round and the impressive club house and views too.(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 97 Handicap: 20.1)

Enjoyed a round, but held up by 7 visitors who were so slow. Took 5.5hours . Wish they noticed and said something to slow players..liked the course, great condition. Not didn’t feel much of links feeling but still great course. And the guy in pro shop was so friendly. Great driving range too.
