Scotland's Less Obvious Ep.21
The genius of the Craighead layout is that from the front tees the course is a thrill to play for golfers of every level. If you are up for a real test then peg it up from the tips. The back tees present a completely unique set of challenges, choices and shots to be played. A round over Craighead is never forgotten.
It’s not just the dramatic vistas that make a round on Craighead so inspiring. The course follows and bisects the remnants of medieval revetted drystone walling. Hanse carefully and expertly integrated these ancient walls into his design.
Gil Hanse, the acclaimed American architect designed the course to be at one with the clifftop environment and ancient medieval walls.
