Origins

Craigielaw was created as a new golf development at Aberlady and opened in 2001, adding a modern championship course to an area already dense with historic links.

Design Philosophy

Donald Steel's layout uses the open coastal ground to provide a modern links-style test with firm-running approaches, exposed wind conditions and strategic bunkering.

Today

Craigielaw combines visitor and member golf with extensive practice facilities, clubhouse dining and on-site lodge accommodation.
