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.

Cracking Course
A very good course with varying degrees of difficulty.
Great course run bad
The course itself it a grey layout and on full greens is great.
But the winter greens are in playable tiny and not cut well. And the worst part is the club house was shut and when we asked a member he said the pro hasn’t been opening it untill around 12? Which in the winter is around the last tee off time so pointless.
So no starter which means anyone can walk on and play at anytime really
Has alot of potential
Played here a few times and usually enjoy the trip from Edinburgh. Course is a nice wee challenge and usually in good condition. However, be aware that if you tee off before 12 the shop isn't open. So make sure you have snacks and drinks with you, as well as balls and tees. Disappointed not to even be able to collect a scorecard. We weren't aware the shop didn't open till this late(seems a bit silly as if you're playing 18 you won't be teeing off much later than 12 at this point of the year)we were actually told by a member. We also weren't made aware it was 18 winter greens(it wasn't raining and was iver 10 degrees). We were also informed by said member(no updates on the website). So a little bit disappointed today, think we will stick to playing here during the warmer months from now on. Just wee changes that would go a long way for this course.
Lovely well kept course
Lovely course. Great holes and fabulous greens. Unfortunately we were rained off so unable to complete our round
Overbooked and slow round
After being paired with another 2 ball because the course was busy, we let the other pair play first. The club had not removed the tee times from Golfnow as there was a competition on and 4 balls we’re teeing off up till 7pm. Once underway, the pace was a bit slow due to the congestion on the course. The course played ok, but the greens were badly maintained. The rough was very thick and unforgiving (peak growing season) so anything off the fairway was usually lost. All in all a reasonable round, but some basic admin management would reduce the over booking and subsequent congestion.
Matched with another 2 ball
Reasonable Round, but club had a competition on. The person in the Pro shop was not happy to find we had booked. He paired us with another two ball but we let them go ahead of us. Club should not allow bookings at the course when a competition is on. Our tee time was 6 pm but a number of players arrived after that time.
Poor
Made to feel like a second rate citizen for booking through GolfNow. The staff were immediately unfriendly and had double booked our tee time so forced our two ball to play with another two ball (who were equally unhappy).
Play was very slow on a lovely evening.
Course was very hilly and not in great condition, some greens in terrible condition, especially given the recent good weather.
Would not recommend.
Good Course
In the main the course was in excellent condition however a few greens weren't great with what looked like fertiliser burns on them in large areas.
Enjoyable round!
1st time playing this course having recently moved to the area.
Nice course in pretty good shape considering the recent weather. Greens in good order and fairways not too wet underfoot. Note that you play of mats,
We had a good day course condition not too bad considering the rain we have had will be back
Mats agogo
Nice course and really cheap but can't understand why we had to use little hairy mats on the fairways and the rough. The course wasn't that wet. If the club are so concerned about their fairways getting churned up, they should make it clear on their website. Waste of time and money
Excellent course
Good value for money but a little peeved at having to use mats for shots from fairway/rough.
We had a good day.,course condition not to bad considering the time of year. Course very quiet so we played to our own pace.
£8 for the round, unbelievable value.
We had a 4 ball booked and the rain was treacherous. Unfortunately the started was unable to contact me to inform me the course was closed(we had all travelled from Edinburgh so we were gutted as we were still keen to play). But, despite a delay the greenkeepers done all they could to squeegee the greens and get the course back open. An hour later and we teed off. First time playing and for £8 all I can say is wow. Unbelievable value. The course has a bit of everything and we will certainly be back. Thanks again!
