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 Jun 8 2019 by George L - rated 4 out of 5 Great start to our Edinburgh swing!
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)

Reviewed Jul 29 2018 by Akira M - rated 4 out of 5 Very good course but..
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.

Reviewed Mar 8 2017 by AndyM Edinburgh - rated 5 out of 5 I played this course in early March after wet beginning to year. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. This had all the hallmarks of a true Scottish links course down to the wind gusting at 40MPH+! Beautiful views of the river and the bay. Nice clubhouse. There is also driving range and par 3 course but did not use these.
