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.

Very slow play from a 4 ball ahead of several groups who had to stop and wait for some time. Met with other groups at quite a few tees waiting on them.
Watch the water
2nd time I played the course, last time was 15 months ago.
Wide variety of holes, with doglegs both left and right.
Absolute brilliant holes on this course, namely 2nd, 13th and 16th.
Course was in excellent condition, fairways had plenty grass, greens run true and rough was playable.
The water made you positional play these holes.
A well laid out course that is a must to play, I will certainly be back.
Clubhouse facilities is fantastic ( although, this time I didn’t use them)
As I was playing on my own, I caught up with 3 groups of players, which all immediately invited me to play through, the last I declined as I was enjoying the course so much. Each group very pleasant and welcoming.
I will play this again and share it with friends to let them enjoy an excellent course.
Swamp
I played pumpherston today and the course should have been closed, but because of refund policy we did not want to lose our money, the green was flooded on first hole, it was shocking that it was not shut. They are quiet clearly leaving it open to get the money. So no refunds. Also coming off course member of staff asked how it was, sorry but you should not be asking me but you should be out looking at the course yourself. Disgraceful!!!!
Great course
Really good course variety and layout of holes is brilliant.
Back 9 is superb.
Value for money
Played a two ball here this week.
Course is in a fantastic condition and gives a good challenge to all levels of golf.
Great value
We went here with not particularly high expectations but came away saying that you couldn’t find much better anywhere at the price we paid.
The clubhouse was shut due to covid unfortunately but the young guy in the pro shop was chatty and helpful.
The only thing we might say is that this course could be very wet quite quickly in periods of rain.
If two guys’ who didn’t come with much or any expectations both go away saying they’d definitely come back easily then there must be sonething worthwhile going on.
A great golf now deal !!!!
Lovely scenic course
A great course nestled in the central Scottish countryside. In great condition with some wonderful tricky holes.
Would thoroughly recommend.
2nd game here in 11 years
Course has matured fantastically since I last played here. Greens were very true and a great pace considering the recent lockdown. Unfortunately, no clubhouse facilities open yet, but where I may not have played the course in 11 years, I have in the past hired a room there to deliver training, and used their catering. Staff friendly, and great clubhouse.
The course is not for big hitters on the most part as there are some great twists to the fairways and hazards on approaches to greens.
Great feature hole.
Very enjoyable round, slightly wet conditions. Very warm welcome from shop staff and great friendly service from clubhouse staff.
Good day out
Great course. Greens were fantastic. Only thing that let the course condition down was the fairways could of been doing with a cut, they were a tad on the long side. Bar meals were excellent. Overall brilliant course and would recommend it.
Pumpherston winter
The ground was quite wet and soggy. The layout is terrific but greens were on winter cuts. Was a bit disappointed overall.
Well worth a visit
Great on, nobody in front or behind, weather held up til the 17 th
Soaking wet
So much for the golf now policy if its raining.
Greens covered in water
