Scotland is a land of hidden gems – and for golfers Kilspindie Golf Club is one of the finest, lying hidden among the nature reserve of Aberlady Bay, the quaint village of Aberlady, and the teaming waters of the Firth of Forth.
Playing these traditional Scottish links, you may witness sea-birds diving for food, migratory geese, and seals sunning on the sand. In the distance, you can see the profile of Edinburgh, its Castle, and the long extinct volcanic cone of Arthur’s Seat. The course is secreted away from the village via a few hundred yards of private, single-track road.
From its very beginnings Kilspindie, as a golf club, built a reputation as a warm and welcoming Club. Many of the original non-course owning clubs who chose to play their annual outings over our links still do so today, keeping a tradition alive after more than 100 years! As the popularity in general grew, so did the Club. However, it is thanks to the dedication, generosity and hard work of some members, following on from both World Wars which saved the Club during those periods of austerity.
With the excellent services of Club Stewards over the years, High Tea after a game of golf at Kilspindie took some beating – with 3-tiered cake stands, scones to die for and, for an extra 6d., one could enjoy 2 eggs with their “Golfers Grill”!
Two stone structures on our links the Target, at the 5th tee, and the Magazine, at the 12th tee, were both actively used in the early days when we shared the golf course with the local rifle club!
There have been few changes made to our links over the past 112 years so golfers, irrespective of their standard of play, may enjoy our traditional Scottish links.
Welcome and haste ye back!
