About
Above Scotland's Royal Burgh town of Linlithgow sits the Linlithgow Golf Club, featuring 18 holes amid farmland and hills, and views of the Ochil Hills, Union Canal and Forth Valley. It's about midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow. The golf course measures 5,863 yards - short enough to not do too much damage to the legs, long enough to require well-planned golf shots.
A round of golf at the Linlithgow Golf Club kicks off on Drambuie, a par-4 333-yard hole that plays short and straight, with a fairway that slopes down with minimal hazards. Things get increasingly tougher: By Deli's Dio, the ninth hole, you're looking at a long par 4, measuring 420 yards. The 18th, Union Canal, is another long par 4, measuring 413 yards, where you'll need to shoot a short carry over a ravine to reach an undulating tree-lined fairway - there's that canal, too, to keep things interesting.
The Linlithgow Golf Club clubhouse offers a lounge and restaurant for dinner, drinks, lunch and snacks.

Course hilly
The course was very hilly not for the faint hearted but was in great condition only problem was the greens the holes were always on a slope very hard to judge but had a great day
Great Value
Really enjoyed our round, some interesting holes, quite hilly, particularly at the start, but well maintained and good pace of play. Some fine views too. Would definitely play again.
Excellent
Wonderful course, lovely members & great staff.
Will be back.
Fantastic course.
Some par 4s are not that long but are not easy.
Very interesting and varied holes.
Excellent greens, took some getting used to the speed.
Enjoyed the downhill par 3 17th
great views
hilly at start but then views become great as you get up to the 4th
Gd day out
Booked this course as never played it and got good reviews. Cant fault anything course was in excellt condition. The guy in pro shop could not be more helpful tips on the course explained the course layout and what the club offers bar food etc. The only fault no yellow tee marker on 16th which was strange was a red and a white apart from that plenty of bins for rubbish and ball washers defo come back now i have played it. Worth the money
Holiday Golf

Linlithgow
Brilliant course! Staff very helpful and friendly. I have just started playing this summer and it’s the first time I shot under 100 :-)
Will definitely be back.
Challenging course
Signature hole 17 par 3 was special. The two par 5's together were pretty stunning. The pro shop staff was very accommodating. Overall it was a very good experience.
Excellent greens, tough walk
Single handicap golfer…..
Staff in the Pro shop couldn’t have been friendlier when we arrived. Pace of play was excellent, 2 ladies in front of us but we didn’t have to wait once. Course is a little short but very undulating. A few big climbs which may provide troublesome for anyone with a dodgy back or dodgy knees.
The courses itself was a great test of golf though, the fairways were lovely and the greens were probably the best I’ve played on in a good few years. Hats off to the green staff (especially with the weather we’ve had recently)
What we paid for the round was probably just about fair. The membership fees are however, very expensive in my opinion. Not going to attract any new members in the current financial climate charging £60-£70 a month for membership. I was seriously considering moving clubs while playing the course… until I heard what the fees were!
Overall though, a good course, great views, excellent greens and a good test of golf! ⛳️ 👍🏻
Hilly course but with some great holes
At times a challenging course for the average golfer due to significant slopes limiting the ability to hit FIR. The back 9 is more forgiving than the front, with a couple of nice open parkland style holes.
The course was in a good state and bunker sand was playable unlike some courses at this price point. Standard of greens varied slightly but was generally very good.
Practice area immediately at the club house was a bit limited and the club house wasn't fully open on the Sunday.
Would play again.
Hilly but worth it
The condition of this course is great especially for this time of year. A bit hilly but that made it for me lots of undulating fairways and would benefit from playing a few time, I will definitely be back . Staff are fantastic very helpful and friendly. Friendly members spoke to a few people before during and after the round all very helpful. Marked down slightly as the 18 was under repair.
Course should have been closed
The course should have been closed was dangerous golf balls were like bouncing off concrete and going in any direction due to the ice
Because it’s a hilly course I was slipping everywhere and could have seriously hurt myself
Pace of play I was behind a 2 balls that wouldn’t let me through and were very slow (probably because of the ice)
