Rating 69.3

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.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

A very welcoming club, from the professional shop to the bar and catering staff. The course is a varied selection of holes including the fiendish second, the testing twelfth, the "Sawgrass17th"- like 16th, to the very scorable 5th, with a very good selection of par 3s.

A most enjoyable course.

Good pace of play

My son and I were behind a 4 ball and one of the group was in a buggy but they kept up a brisk pace.

The course was in good condition even taking into account the amount of rain, there were no soggy areas or patches. The second hole is an absolute gem.

Excellent clubhouse and practice facilities, highly recommend and we will return frequently : )

Second time round

The fairway grass a bit long but not a criticism because there’s been so much rainfall otherwise, my son and I couldn’t wait to return to PGC. Top quality bacon rolls n coffee, all staff helpful and friendly. The course has a number of tricky holes which great if you like to play for position. The greens were not slow and receptive to a well hit iron. Off course practice facilities are xlent too, well worth arriving at least an hour earlier than tee off. Highly recommend and will return.

Great Condition

Pumpherston is a very playable course, relatively flat, and with a nice variety of holes from the fiendish 2nd, the challenging 12th, to the very scorable 5th, and has several well-designed par 3s.

The pro and assistant are very welcoming and the lounge and catering staff and facilities are very good.

Recommended!
