Kilspindie Golf Club
Over Kilspindie Golf Club
It may not be the longest links course in Scotland but nonetheless it presents a tough enough challenge, especially when the wind kicks up along the Firth of Forth. There is antiquity here too - Kilspindie is the 35th oldest club in the world and very proud of its heritage. Several holes run along the shoreline and there are splendid views. The par three 8th hole overlooking Gosford Bay is the hole that most visitors remember. It demands a testing tee shot that has to carry across the beach with the ever present wind making life even more difficult.

De baan is een feest om te spelen. Niet te lang zodat je ook nog een score kunt neerzetten. Vlak langs het zoute water van de inlet. Fantastisch! Het clubhuis van deze 150 jarig oude baan is reuze gezellig en sfeervol. De lockerroom/bar is een one of a kind. Sfeervol maar jammer genoeg zonder service. We zijn na 20 minuten tevergeefs wachten uitgeweken naar de buren.

Een van de oudste golfbanen van Schotland. Een korte baan (par 69) pal aan de Firth of Forth ten oosten van Edinburgh. Een prima verzorgde baan met mooie fairways en goede greens.
Het is een leuke baan met een afwisseling van korte en lange holes. De par 3’s zijn moeilijk vooral als er veel wind staat. De ontvangst was zeer plezierig. Er zijn geen elektrische trolleys te huur. Ze waren het clubhuis aan het verbouwen.

Mooie oude linksbaan uit 1867.9 holes in en 9 holes out, dus 9 holes wind mee en 9 holes wind tegen. Baan is niet al te lang maar wel lastig, bij weinig wind heel vriendelijk en met veel wind heel moeilijk. Pal aan zee met de zeehonden in zicht. Snelle greens en fairways.

Kilspindie Golf Club is the 35th oldest golf course in the world and this year celebrated their 150th anniversary. This seaside links layout was originally designed by Ross and Sayers but later updated by Willie Park offering panoramic views of Edinburgh across Aberlady Bay and the Firth of Forth beyond. When I was there in early October, seals were sunbathing on the sandy shoals in low tide and the geese were starting to migrate here for their annual pilgrimage. Stunning indeed and maybe an omen.
Don’t be fooled by this very short 5,494-yard par-69. Kilspindie is a true ‘Scottish Links Course’ where wind will be factor and strategy is much more important than distance. #1 Rule - Stay out of trouble. Deep fescue line both sides of the fairways and strategically located sod-walled bunkers force you to avoid them at all costs. Hit it straight or be prepared to be challenged.
The outward holes are by far the most challenging and scenic of the two. There are six holes that play directly onto the coastline so make sure you have your camera to capture the moment.
The 1st hole is only 158-yards but heads directly towards the ocean and normally plays into a strong crosswind. You must bounce your tee shot short left onto this large firm green while still avoiding the five pot bunkers in front.
The 2nd hole maybe the most challenging of them all. This tight par-5 normally plays directly into the prevailing winds with the ocean looming on your right. The par-4 3rd hole, nicknamed ‘Arthur’s Seat’, offers a blind tee shot and a sunken green that juts out to a point. Another hole that reinforces that you need to bounce your approach shot short on these putting surfaces.
The closing 18th hole is a risk/reward driveable par-4 with a stone wall that runs down the left side and starts again as you approach the green. Two large bunkers protect the front left and out of bounds are to your right. A great way to finish your round.
Kilspindie may not be long but it will challenge every club in your bag. One of my favourite golf courses to play with hickory clubs in East Lothian Scotland.

Prachtige baan met snelle greens en fairway’s en daar moet je toch even aan wennen. Het enige minpuntje dat ik vond is dat sommige holes er dicht op elkaar liggen.
Par4 holes zijn redelijk kort.
