Rating 70.1

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.

A great course with a few good traps and features.

I have played this course before and found it very challenging. I had a great round with my friends James Patterson and Ian Hindley and despite the weather being a bit cold and the rain, which thankfully stayed away most of the time, we had a fantastic time and played well. The wind was a factor but not too much of a challenge.

I would not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone who wants a little bit of a challenge. My round was 101 total and less my handicap of 26, my final total was 75 for the round.

Easy walking, sporty layout.

Very warm welcome and friendly clubhouse. Layout contributed to a tit for tat match play game. Glad to have shook hands before we got to the 18th! Very enjoyable afternoon.

Top Notch course for peanuts

The night before there was about an inch or two of rain yet the course stood up great and was only puddled in a few spots. Greens were excellent for time of year. Staff and members were very friendly, letting our 2 ball play thru on 3 occasions. 18 holes at 1230 on a Saturday in 2 hours 45 mins was unbelievable!! I will definitely be back here soon...stunning!!!

Spectatcular

I am a member of Borders Golf Club. West Linton is an excellent course and will test your game. Very picturesque with well laid out holes. The 17th and 18th finishing holes both Par 3s could be card wreckers.
Once you have played the Bar facilities are excellent with pleasant and helpful staff.
If you play on a Friday the Battered Fish is to kill for.
An excellent and enjoyable round
