Craigielaw Golf Course,
This relatively new course opened in 2000. It is built on land of ancient, blown sand overlooking Aberlady Bay, neighbouring the resplendent links courses of East Lothian. Fairways are tight with rough and old stone dykes defining their perimeters. The 11th is a great driving hole, a Par 5 with a narrow strip of marshy land ahead of the green, and for many the most exciting hole on the course.

Gullane no 1 Golf Course,
(East Lothian) Established in 1884. This course has hosted many Amateur Championships and played host to the Open championship qualifying in 2013. Carved into the ancient links turf Gullane’s pot bunkers, wispy grasses and smooth-running greens make this a unique challenge for even the most serious golfer. With its beautifully maintained greens, true links contours and impressive vistas it does not suffer from an inferiority complex being neighboured next to Muirfield. The late Payne Stewart rated it highly.
