Pumpherston Golf Club

I had seen some of the previous negative reviews and in all honesty had been kind of put off playing here by them. But I thought I'd play the course and see for myself. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and maybe they caught the course on a bad day? But how very misleading and just plain wrong they were. The course was in immaculate condition, and despite being extremely quiet the grounds staff were out in force. And hats off to them. Ive played 90% of the courses around Edinburgh since the turn of they year and condition wise this was right up there. Every bunker was expertly raked for a start. The course is really lovely with lots of water features and dog legs to make you think about your shots and I thoroughly enjoyed playing here. I will definitely be back! A steal at £20 a round.

This course is an absolute steal for the price to play.

Weather wasn’t the greatest but the course was playing fantastic.

Great ground staff who are totally aware if they are making too much noise on machinery, line of shot etc

Some real challenges out there but also some holes that give back and make it really enjoyable for a higher handicapper.

An absolute joy to play this course and will be bringing more friends back!

The course was is really poor condition.

Must have been 2 inches of mud everywhere.

Full green the only plus in decent winter condition.

There was no mention of only The front nine open only (which you could play twice)

Over priced for the conditions 19 pounds each.

Took several hours to clean the equipment, and shoes mud up to just under ankles.

Only let you play front nine twice

Did not say this till you turn up at coarce

Mud was over top of shoe on all the holes

And tees where 30yds forward not good

And paid full price I would say give it a miss till summer

Interesting layout but a fair walk between some holes. Got lost between 16th green and 17th tee !

Would be a nice course when the ground is drier - very wet and muddy underfoot.

Lots of drainage work required ...

Only got text through to say course closed 15 mins before t off.

Great course but when we went the course was soaking wet advise to play in summer

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

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

very good greens.nice layout.very wet. so did not see couse at its best.

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.

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.
