Pumpherston Golf Club
About
Pumpherston Golf Club, designed by Graeme Webster, offers a superior golfing challenge, including water features over the length of the 6,000-yard, par-70 golf course and R&A-standard greens.
A round at Pumpherston Golf Club begins on Paraffin Young, a 398-yard par 4 that requires a straight drive and attention on hazards surrounding the green: bunkers right, deep rough behind. Hitters unpack long games on Pentlands, the 516-yard par-5 10th, which features a narrow fairway, requiring a straight tee shot; 150 yards from the green, the fairway drops, making a tricky approach. Close the round on Iranapol, another long hole, at 505 yards and par 5, and where water guards the green, meaning that length alone won't help you.
Book a seat in the Pumpherston Golf Club's clubhouse early - and let the clubhouse caterer know about any dietary restrictions, which the staff can work with - and head up for lunch and a drink with views of the golf course.

The course was in really bad shape with the recent weather, completely boggy and cut up. Probably should be closed for a Week or so to settle
Good range of challenges
I really enjoyed playing this course. Good balance between short and long par 4s, par 3s and par 5s. Some very picturesque features on a beautiful day at the course
pumpherstone
very good greens.nice layout.very wet. so did not see couse at its best.
Excellent Course and Facilities
This course is well maintained and is a good challenge with water hazards on several holes. The greens are good and the staff are very friendly. I'll be back.
Good first impression
Played this after some pretty heavy rain earlier in the week. There was a few puddles littered around the place, and it was pretty wet underfoot. HOWEVER, all four of us left the course pretty impressed having had a good round that was nowhere near ruined.
Couple of really lovely holes, the 2nd and the par 3 late into the back nine stick out. The 16th has a really nice feature green but you honestly don't know until you're ON the green how unique the hole is,- which kinda wastes it. Would be better as a par 3 with an elevated view of the hole so you can appreciate it. One easily fixed downside was the fact I've had more loose sand in my shoes after a dog walk on the beach- than there is in most of the bunkers,... but bunkers on most courses arent great since reopening after Covid.
I Will most definitely try to get back in fairer weather, and we were all in agreement that in spring/summer 2021 we'll use this course as one of our neutral venues for our cash betting fourballs.
Nobody would be disappointed playing here.
Nice course and great value. However, very wet with not much drainage made playing conditions worse than expected. Played other courses after similar rain recently that seemed to have drained a lot better.
Excellent course for beginners to medium handicap golfers
Had an early autumn round here and throughly enjoyed it. This course is ideal for mid to high handicap golfers as it’s relatively flat and plenty of room for an errant tee shot. The rough was fair and easily find your ball if you go off line. The greens ran true, a good speed and receptive to approach shots. The par 3 13th is a lovely wee hole. In fact the holes 13 to 17 were really nice. Only moan and very minor was the ground was quite wet, possibly just down to the time of year we played. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable round. I will be back.
Would certainly recommend
Great value for money well laid out with some tricky holes most certainly be back
Great course, friendly members!
Beautiful little course and staff and members all very friendly. This was actually my first 18 holes (have done a few 9s elsewhere) and I found this to be challenging but a good course fairly open most of the time.
Got a great deal with GolfNow but will be back and would gladly pay full price.
Good course
Would highly recommend a round here, but would find it better if the score card had a map of the course but that just me
Nice course
Well laid out course with some scenic and tricky holes with a few water hazards to negotiate. Considering the amount of rain we’ve had lately the fairways and greens have held up pretty well. Enjoyable round and would definitely recommend.
A nice surprise
The first time I have played here. Some of the course was a little damp but other than that in good condition.
A good welcome in the clubhouse and a nice lunch.
Only negative was no drink at bar available when we finished at 5:30
Nice course
Nice enough course. Booked through Golf Now as a solo and was put out with another trio to make a four ball.
Not what I’d wanted but happy to get a game after a solo booking elsewhere had been cancelled that morning.
Pumpherston
Good course, would like to play it again when it was dry. Island hole looks good but for me the 13th looks stunning.
Good course
Decent enough course and conditions underfoot were okay despite the last weeks weather. Booked through golf now which put me out with a three ball but enjoyable day none the less. Good few long holes though that are quite challenging including a 200 plus yard Par 3. Booked last minute so can’t complain.
