Location

Amberley, 12 Craigielaw Park, is set in a gated community of 14 houses that line the 10th and 11th fairway of Craigielaw Golf Course. Amberley is set at the top of the loop and has an utterly stunning outlook over the golf course to the Firth of Forth.

There are nine further houses in a separate gated cluster. The clubhouse beyond operates as a hotel with a bar, restaurant and bedrooms as well as a pro shop and changing rooms. In addition to the 18 hole championship golf course there is a 6 hole short course, a driving range and a Titleist fitting centre. Craigielaw has an active junior membership and has produced some successful amateur and professional golfers.

Craigielaw is in the heart of Gosford Estate. The estate office is in the buildings just beyond the clubhouse. There is woodland with footpaths to the south and a beach and nature reserve on the coastline to the north. Gosford House with its magnificent walled grounds is just to the west.

The conservation village of Aberlady is just behind the 17th tee. Historically Aberlady was the designated Port of Haddington and has the remains of a medieval harbour and Iron Age fort. Aberlady Bay was the first local nature reserve in Britain and the headquarters of the Scottish Ornithologists Club is in the village. The Bay has been designated as a maritime scheduled ancient monument and holds the wrecks of eight 19th century fishing vessels and two submarines. The village has a primary school, store, post office and the Ducks Inn.

Craigielaw is in the heart of East Lothian’s ‘Golf Coast’ with many fine links golf courses close by. Kilspindie adjoins Craigielaw, and Luffness and Gullane golf courses are across the bay. Muirfield, which is an Open Championship course, is on the far side of Gullane.
