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.

Difficult terrain
The greens and presentation of the course are excellent. But I have limited mobility and use a sit in buggy. The terrain is difficult
Fantastic course...
Excellent day...weather great..staff and Members lovely...and the course:
Fantastic...a real challenge. lying in a great spot and holes playing either WEST or EAST..
Beautiful parkland course with great true greens..and sloping fairways..you have to
think your way round...holes 16 17 and 18 lie in wait and can cost a few more strokes than
planned if you are not down the centre..Great all round..you can even catch the train to Linlithgow
and walk along the canal WEST for about a mile to reach the course...steps take you under and
through a tunnel to carpark..well worth the journey!!
Many Thanks!
Great course
Really enjoyed the course, played it a few times now, best condition yet. Greens were really good, very fast and true. Club pro is really friendly, good guy. Will be back soon. Layout is great, looks hilly when you pull up to the carpark but it is a reasonably easy walk, loads of quirky holes... Great day
Lovely course. Ro shop staff very friendly and helpful.
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.
