West Linton Golf Club

Great course in great condition. Friendly staff and members. Challenging, and feels longer than its listed yardage. Will definately be back.

A few standout holes, reminiscent of Kings at Gleneagles. A brutal finishing hole into the wind. Firm greens, a bit bare in places but it's early season and they'll grow in. Other than that, can't be faulted and even the greens are probably down to masl. Friendly members and staff made us welcome. Big terrace overlooking first tee ideal for summer drinks. Will be back.

Interesting course with lovely views and some engaging holes. I suspect that the course was originally nine holes and it has been expanded from the original layout. This means that some of the holes are relatively featureless, but there are plenty of challenges on the original holes, with rough and out of bounds areas adding to the difficulty. The final hole, a 200+ yard par 3, is a pearler.

On the nit-picking side, there could be more "Next tee" signs and the odd fairway marker for blind approaches would not go amiss either.

Worthwhile checking visitors handicaps ability of play and whether they can apply golf etiquette. Nomad golfers don’t appear to respect golf attire, etiquette or rules. Neither are they attentive to when they hit the ball in the wake of others. A players ball behind me struck me harshly in the back causing bruising. I’m only glad it was my back and not my head!!

Wide open course in great condition. Not the hardest or tightest course but some long par 4s in cold and windy conditions were difficult. Nice location. Couldn’t rate clubhouse as it was closed due to virus lock down. Pro shop helpful.

Fairways and greens in very good condition for the time of year and the views alone are worth the visit.. Unfortunately no catering was available. The course is 2 miles from the village where catering is limited. The clubhouse was locked at 15.45 so apart from an oncourse toilet at the 12th, no toilet facility was available thereafter.

The COVID-19 rules are presumably responsible.

What a lovely course. Excellent fairways, bunkers and greens. Enjoyable views around course. Pleasant variety of hole designs.

Play here. 3-4 times and it’s a fantastic course, some really tough holes especially the last, I’d definitely put this on a must play list

From the moment we arrived it was a friendly club. The course was great if quite tough and long. My wife enjoy the course but found hitting 3 wood after 3 wood a little tough a points.

Facilities on the course were great and lovely green staff.

Good food after.

Course was in fantastic condition. Really nice day. Unfortunately slow play slightly ruined it.

Played in challenging conditions wind and rain but appreciated layout and good condition of course

I am a member at Dunbar and have played the wonderful Gullane 1 a couple of times in the last week and these courses are as good as it gets in Scotland in February.

I also know that inland golf in Scotland is pretty rough at this time of year, either, next to flooded, on mats and with greens like the mountains of the Moon.

West Linton is none of these latter and is in tremendous nick and has probably the best fairways just about anywhere I have ever played. The greens too are in very good condition though the pins were a wee bit awkward in places and we found them tough.

But it was a great day out on a super course, playing at our own pace. The pro shop, the bar and catering staff could not have been more accommodating. Get along there soon. Thoroughly recommended and at a very cost effective price.

Lovely course in great condition. Friendly members and staff. Only problem pace of play over 4 hours to get round takes the edge off a great day.

Well worth the trip today. Excellent value for money. Course is in great nick, some lovely holes to play and some great scenery in places. Would definitely come again. Nice friendly welcome and good burger & chips in the clubhouse afterwards - what more could you ask for ??!!

I simply love this course. Tucked away off the beaten track, its a total delight. The fairways are lush, the greens, beautifully maintained, are a challenge but thats what they should be! This course should be on the radar of anyone wanting to experience a wonderful day's golf

Not a long journey from Edinburgh and lovely views.

Good but fair test of golf and suitable for all levels.

Relatively quiet on Friday afternoon.

Overall experience very enjoyable.

Was disappointed that 10 of the greens where still on winter greens while the greens not in use looked in better conditions that the greens that where in use thankfully I only paid 12 pound the pro was very heipful and the food was good and value for money

Taking into account playing in winter after a very wet spelll the course was in not bad condition. The course has been expanded over years and as a result is a little up and down in layout as extra holes squeezed in. None the less had interesting parts and some spectacular scenery close to pentland hills. We were welcomed by various staff. Will come back to play in summer time.
