Description
Aberlady, Kilspindie Golf Club, including the pro shop and boiler block, was built in 1898 with later additions. It is a single-storey, square-plan golf clubhouse that has undergone alterations and extensions at the rear to create a larger square plan. The building features a low, swept, overhanging roof that forms a veranda under bracketed eaves. The west elevation has two stone gabletted dormers with four mullioned windows overlooking the putting green, while the north elevation has a single stone dormer with an off-set bipartite window. The exterior is made of sandstone ashlar with red stone quoins and window margins on the north and west elevations, while the rear is finished in painted render.
There is a separate rectangular-plan pro shop with a piended roof, linked to the northeast corner of the clubhouse by a spanning roof section. Additionally, there is a separate flat-roofed boiler block to the southeast, featuring panelled doors and window hatch covers.
The windows are timber sash and case, primarily with a 4 over 1 glazing pattern. The roofs are covered with graded grey slate, and there are squat, corniced stone ridge stacks along with corniced and rendered double-shouldered wallhead stacks. A decorative iron finial adorns the building.
Inside, there are elements of a contemporary decorative scheme that have survived. The entrance hall is boarded, and there is a panelled timber gentlemen's lounge lined with numbered players' lockers in their original positions. The ceiling is combed and boarded, featuring decorative cast iron ventilator covers, and there is a brick fireplace with an honours board above it.
