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.

Nice course

Lovely course. Greens were well manicured and challenging. I did however find the first cut on the fringes of the fairways on the long side and frustratingly lost balls as a result. Still a good day out

Tricky course with plenty bunkers and water. Not the longest but my goodness you need to think. Watch out for the 16th it has water at the front which is hidden.

Outstanding course

Brilliant course, Infact one of the best iv ever played in the central area. Conditions of greens were second to none. Fairways also well looked after, some fantastic holes and challenging.

Only slight issue for me was trying to locate the club shop took me a few minutes after walking all around the clubhouse. Apart from that 5 out of 5. Fantastic day thank you

A Course Worth Playing

Pumpherston is a very good course and certainly worth playing. A challenging course at times with a few long par 4s and 3 par 5s on the back 9.

Well set up with fairways and greens in good condition.

Will certainly play this course again.

Fantastic layout and value for money

Played in February, so like everywhere else in the area the rough and fairways were pretty wet underfoot however the greens were in very good condition for this time of year. They rolled well and true.

The highlight of this course for me is the layout, there are some absolutely fantastic golf holes and lovely views. Clubhouse is nice with a friendly pro shop and a restaurant/bar looking over the course. Very good practise facilities too, large putting green, chipping area, range.

I would be very interested to play Pumpherston again in the summer months to see how it compares.

Winter Golf (November) Wet ground

I was working up in Scotland, whilst up there I decided to get a round in at the nearest course, which so happened to be Pumpherston. Words don't do the course justice, this place is beautiful! There are some challenging holes, some easier holes and some holes that are outright fun to play and beautiful to look at. The bloke running the pro shop was friendly and provided good advice for some of the holes (didn't catch his name).

The practice areas were adequate for what was needed, there was a singular hitting net, a large putting green and a chipping area. The pro shop was only just opening so didn't get a chance to view the amenities inside, however, there was a coffee machine just outside of the pro shop.

The course was wet underfoot, but the weather was dry and sunny. There was hardly any roll out on drives/shots, however, the greens ran true and fair. A very good course all around, there was no need for hitting mats and there were no temporary greens. There were a couple of temporary tee boxes, but these were on par 3s, so didn't make too much of a difference to how the course played.

Fantastic course and very worth the money!

Myself and two friends played at Pumpherston and loved it. Unfortunately it was a very rainy day so maybe not as good as it could have been, but we will definitely be revisiting on a dry day as it would be a great course to play.

An excellent course

Prior to arriving - my expectations were not high. However I was bowled over by the high quality of the course. My playing partner told me it was a Graeme Webster design and having recently played Meldrum House I could see the similarities. There were some short par 4s and long par 3s together with 2 or 3 long par 5s and a mixture of water hazards to increase the challenge. The greens were in excellent condition and the course was enhanced by a large number of mature trees.
