The Irvine Golf Club was established 1887, is regularly used for national and international golfing championships. It truly is one of Scotland’s hidden gems, offering a traditional links challenge, which owes much of its present day character to the course design of the great James Braid. His designs are characterized by their great variety and interesting use of nature’s assets.

Situated on Scotland’s “golf coast”, Craigielaw truly is a golfers’ paradise. Opened in 2001, the course stands out as one of the newest courses in an area known for having some of the oldest golf courses in the world. Despite being much younger in comparison, Craigielaw manages to hold its own as one of the most challenging links golf courses in Scotland.

The course has developed into a fine challenge where every hole offers the golfer, while you will also witness one of the world’s largest bird sanctuaries to play through.

Enjoying some of the best views of all three Gullane courses, Gullane No. 3 looks across Aberlady Bay to the Firth of Forth. Spectacular and tricky, Gullane No. 3 is a course that demands a deft touch and a cool head. Forget the modest yardage; this is a course for straight hitting shot-makers. Favoured with the same impeccable links turf and smooth running (albeit smaller) greens as its older neighbours, Gullane No. 3 is maintained to the same high standards from tee to green.
