Pumpherston Golf Club

Reserved a round for a 3 ball (H/caps 4,9 and 13) here on Tuesday 17th August and wasn't disappointed. From the friendly reception at the pro shop to the fantastic warm up area and the course itself all 3 of us thought it was great VFM. The course although short to what we are used to provided a stiff test and with some of the pin positions (placed on slopes etc) offering up a few 3-putts throughout the round. It was also nice to see directional arrow signs on the sharp dog legs and general directional signs dotted around the course to keep us newbies right, although it would also have been an idea to possibly have a course map on the back of the scorecard, numerous times one of our trio landed up in trouble in trees, bushes etc from running through the fairways on some doglegs. We all thought that the greens were excellent and were sure that the greenkeeper had fallen out with his partner that morning due to some of the pin placements, again we all liked the mix of par 3's and also that the Par 5's gave the longer hitters the opportunity to get to the green in 2 giving them the opportunity to putt for Eagle. Post round the clubhouse was friendly although quiet at 1635 on a Tuesday afternoon, we all enjoyed our post match refreshments, especially as it was only £5 for an IPA and 2 pints of soda water and lime. We will return and maybe sample what the kitchen has to offer next time

Excellent course in the summer , very heavy in the winter, really enjoyed it , greens were excellent

Challenging course at points but excellent condition given recent weather. Enjoyed and will definitely play again.

Really impressed. Great course and real value for money at £22

Course was in great condition with fast, level greens and fairways in good condition. If I had one minor gripe it is that there are a lot of doglegs and 'blind' holes and no maps to assist those without the local knowledge. For example, at the 16th, I think my ball ended up in a pond which was invisible from where I played my 2nd shot. However, overall I really enjoyed the course and would visit again.

Amazing course nice view , love to play again , my friend from wales he loves that course cos nice and flat also the green was great job. Thank you from GolfNow ⛳️

Challenging holes. Need to plan your way around the course. 2 is a brilliant hole

Enjoyable course and would play again. Some short, but challenging holes.

Great layout with quality true greens and beautiful views. Not to difficult but wrong club selection can leave you with some very hard shots on some of the tighter holes. Not too hilly and a very enjoyable walk. Definitely a hidden gem of a course. Will definitely be back.

Excellent course

Greens are first class

As good as courses 3-4 times the price

A nice layout. The fairways and greens were good but the tees were really poor. Close to a housing estate so there were people everywhere and drunk guys fishing at one of the greens. This is a summer course. You can imagine it being very soggy after a bit of rain. Would I hurry back, no. Would I play again, yes (in summer) For what I paid, its value for money.

Course was in good condition and had a good mix of par 3s 4s and 5s with a few blind tee shots,but do not wear an illuminous top when the sun is shining as I was swarmed with flys

Played the course today and I have to say it was a pleasure . Course was in superb condition . The course had so much character and didn’t fail to impress. Will 100% play again. Definitely one of Scotland’s “hidden gems”.

Thoroughly enjoyed our round here. Great condition, interesting holes. Well worth the visit and Ill definitely be back. Top marks for the ground staff.
