Kilspindie lies adjacent to Craigielaw Golf Club on a coastal stretch in East Lothian which includes such stalwarts as the Gullane triumvirate, Muirfield, the Renaissance Club and North Berwick. Not surprisingly, Kilspindie does not match up to these layouts in terms of offering a championship golfing experience, but it does offer a thoroughly authentic taste of links golf as it probably existed a century ago. It is more akin to Brora or Tain in terms of its fairly modest length, few forced carries and less-than-brutish bunkering. The coastal scenery is still top-notch. Quite frankly, Kilspindie might provide many golfers a chance to regain some much-needed swagger and swing confidence if they've been beaten up by, say, Muirfield. If you find yourself in this part of Scotland, I would highly recommend a trip around this Wille Park Jr. design. (As well as Craigielaw next door).
