Kilspindie Golf Club
Kilspindie Golf Club started out as Luffness Golf Club, founded in 1867, it was at the time the 35th registered golf club in the world. Some 27 years later the club was split by its members into Luffness New Golf Club, which was moved closer to the village of Gullane and Kilspindie Golf Club built on links land bordering Craigielaw Farm.
The resulting Willie Park Jnr. and Ben Sayers design is a delightful, classic links golf course that sits alongside Aberlady Bay, on the rugged coastline of the Firth of Forth.
Kilspindie Golf Club could be described as a hidden gem along the golfing paradise of the East Lothian coastline, with no less than 15 coastal courses within a 10-mile radius, including the likes of Muirfield, Royal Musselburgh and Gullane.

Kilspindie Golf Club
Power is certainly not the most important factor here, where considerable trouble can be found not far from the fairways. Kilspindie outlines its quirkiness right from the off, beginning with a tough par-3 which faces across the Forth to the Kingdom of Fife.
Arguably the best holes are those at the start of the round, with a succession of tough holes tracking the coast towards Edinburgh. Generally played into a considerable prevailing wind, these opening holes can ruin a scorecard, especially as it is not too hard to find the rocky beach.
The signature hole is the idyllic 8th, an exquisite par-3 played across Gosford Bay which demands nerves of steel and a brave heart. Kilspindie is well worth a visit for a taste of genuine Scottish links during a golf break in East Lothian.
How to get to Kilspindie Golf Club
Kilspindie Golf Club is situated just outside the village of Aberlady in East Lothian off the A198, 4 miles from Longniddry strain station.

Great course, played a few times now and enjoyed every time. Pro wasn’t keen on moving tee time forward despite no one being 3 or 4 holes in front but enjoyed the round.

Played at the end of August in very windy conditions. The course is right on the coast of the Firth of Forth with some lovely views. We fortunately avoided the earlier rain and played with one of their two buggies. This is an 125 year old members club. The staff in the pro shop were friendly and helpful. Fortunately the rough was mostly light and finding and playing errant balls was generally Ok. We had an 11:00am tee time on a Tuesday and the course was quite quiet with the weather being poor earlier so we got round in just over 3 hours.

Full of history golf course with amazing clubhouse. The course can seem short but on a windy day the first holes are very challenging. The view is stunning as the first holes are on the coast. True link course as it’s best.

To play in 40 mile an hour winds was definitely an experience. Absolutely great place to savour golf history, a very enjoyable day.

Sorry to say, but checking in at the proshop was a bland experience. No information of the course, the facilities - no nothing. Why not use the opportunity to tell about the history of the course/clubhouse, the course, how to get around, what to expect and look out for?? Hospitality in the golfing industry is non exsisting in Scotland. Again no stars for value for money as we do not know the price.
