About
The West Linton Golf Club features a solid 18-hole moorland golf course that sits on the Slipperfield Moor over West Linton, a Scottish conservation village. The golf course offers magnificent vistas of Scotland's borderland countryside, with the Mendick Hill dominating the sites southwest. Several premier golfers have taken strokes on this grass, among them the British Open and Masters champion Sandy Lyle, an honorary member.
Tee off at the West Linton Golf Club on Medwyn, a par-4 that measures 307 yards. Unpack your long game on Lucky Dip, the 525-yard par-5 fourth hole. When you're ready to go Home, as the 18th hole is appropriately called, you'll have three strokes to go 230 yards. Have lunch at the West Linton Golf Club's good-looking clubhouse, which also offers a good look at several of the holes you've just played.

West Linton
On arrival the members, pro & catering were all very friendly & welcoming. The course was in decent condition considering the weather.
Will recommend this course to friends & will be back very soon.
Thanks to all at West Linton for a good golf experience.
1st round at West Linton
Absolutely loved this course. Enough to consider taking out a membership.
Course was in great nick.
Greens a touch slow, but understandable with the contours n wind
Hidden Gem
Best greens I have played all season, course overall in good condition in a tremendous setting. Would 100% recommend
West Linton
Played course for the umpteenth time and as usual it was in great condition especially for the time of year. This Golf course very rarely puts on winter greens. Paid £20 for round which is great value for your money.
Winter treasure
After a period of wet weather when my own club was closed due to water, we found West Linton to be in excellent well drained condition. The fairways were perfect
with no mats and full greens in play.
Hole number 2 was closed but a replacement par 3 was in play between 13 and 14..
Nice clubhouse for lunch and friendly pro shop.
Will be pleased to return soon.
Great course!
Course was in great condition, playing full fairways, greens etc… would definitely recommend. Friendly staff. Will 100% be back soon for another round. Great value especially if you get a hot deal.
Well worth a revisit
The course was well presented with some challenging holes, especially the 220yd par 3 18th. Shop staff were really friendly as were the members that we met. Have recommended to Friends to visit.

West Linton
Lovely course. Fairways were in good condition which given the amount of rain in the days previously was surprising. Greens also in good condition. Scenery is stunning. Overall a good experience.
Course is outstanding
For November the condition of this place is unreal. Struggle Struggle find better greens than West linton.
Only issue was we arrived early for food before we played to be told kitchen was closed. My mate zack nearly died with starvation the poor lad.
Great course
This is a really enjoyable course. A decent test but not too difficult.. The layout is great with some beautiful holes although the greens had been scarified and sanded which I wasn't aware of before booking and was a bit disappointing (seemed a bit early in the year for it) Will definitely come back to play during summer.
Great course, pro shop staff horrendous
Amazing course, let down by the pace of play, 4 hours..... Also, by the pro working in the pro shop. He was rude, abrupt, presumably because we were visitors. Due to him alone, I would not return
Golf at West Linton
Excellent moorland/parkland course with some interesting holes. Overall the course is in very good condition despite the low rainfall.
Great course with a varied layout.
Well presented course, not too long but a good challenge all the same. Greens were medium speed but ran true, bunkers were excellent (unfortunately I tried out a few). Excellent value, a tough wee test on a windy day.
