Designed by renowned architect Donald Steel and opened in 2001, the course features traditional links characteristics, including fast-running fairways, pot bunkers, and undulating greens. Measuring 6,601 yards from the back tees with a par of 71, Craigielaw provides a challenging yet enjoyable round for golfers of all levels.
The club has quickly established itself as a respected venue, having hosted several prestigious tournaments such as the Scottish Amateur Strokeplay Championship and the Scottish Seniors Open. Its layout demands accuracy and strategy, particularly in the coastal winds that are common in the region.
Beyond the course itself, Craigielaw boasts top-tier practice facilities including a full-length driving range, short game area, and a 6-hole par-3 course. The on-site Golf Academy offers coaching and custom club fitting services. Visitors can stay at The Lodge at Craigielaw, which provides comfortable accommodations with views of the course and surrounding countryside. The clubhouse restaurant serves quality, locally sourced food, making Craigielaw a complete destination for golf enthusiasts.
