About
Uphall Golf Club began in 1895, when the golf course was erected on terrain leased from Sheriff Shairp, who lived on the neighboring Houston Estate. It's a convenient golf course to reach, sitting just seven miles west of the Edinburgh Airport, outside of Uphall Village. It is an 18-hole parkland course set amidst mature trees and features relatively flat land within somewhat tight boundaries, making for a test for all golfers.
Uphall Golf Club's course measures 5,588 yards at par 69. A round of golf kicks off on Mains, a par 4 that comes in at 404 yards from the medal tees. It makes for a challenging opening hole, especially when played into the west wind, requiring an accurate tee shot so as to stay clear of troubles on the left and right, and then golfers are just a medium-to-long iron from a slim green. The round concludes on Binnie Craig, a par-4, 383-yarder that offers an excellent closing hole, again when that west wind is blowing.
After the round, check out the Uphall Golf Club's clubhouse, where management assures that although you're at a "Members Club," you'll be "made extremely welcome."

“SAS” clique oblivious to their pace of play
Course in good condition, greens running true and great welcome by the ‘temporary clubhouse’ staff.
Due to a fire some years ago, there was no clubhouse, also the temporary cafe was closed, just our luck on the day though, that said, would’ve been nice to have known this in advance or if someone could’ve stood in for the person on holiday.
A mid morning tee time had us out behind the “SAS” members (Stands for Saturday and Sunday I was told) so therefore they will be regular stalwarts and really should have known better. From the second tee, they held us up, we were only a 2 ball, there were no competitions on the course and so absolutely no reason for us not to be let through.
These sort of guys should know better, I’m a club member elsewhere and I’d be embarrassed if this happened on our course.
Unfortunately I won’t return as I can only play at weekends and would not want to get stuck behind them again. For such a short course, an almost 4.5hr round as a two ball has left a sour taste.
Played here on 11-09-23, and once again, I didn’t disappoint, I’ve played here on several occasions, and yesterday was probably the best I’ve ever seen the course, the fairways were lush and cut to perfection, while the greens were stunning and quick. Hats off to the greenkeeper and all his staff, for all there hard work. Cant wait to return.
Excellent Value For Money
Fantastic course for the price, course conditions were fantastic and the greens were lightning quick. Need to be accurate off the tee as some are quite tight lined with trees.
One shared green but no problems there. The new clubhouse looks like it will be lovely when it's finished!
Superb
Great course ! Great layout, super friendly locals !
Fun day out.
We got very helpful instructions before starting, The course was in great condition, the fairways were better than my lawn at home ! We gave up on Hole 3 after losing some balls, we should have remembered the instructions we were given ! From hole 4 onwards there were some long holes, but we enjoyed the whole experience.
Mr kerr
Had a great time on the course,weather was great the course was in fantastic shape.will be back to play in the near future.
Perfect conditions
Beautiful day, course absolutely fantastic condition, good mix of short/long holes and very trick par 3’s.
New clubhouse being built but portacabin for refreshments.
Starter very informative about course, overall good friendly experience with locals .
Great day
Great course
Course is play really good, but watch those greens are fast.
Great wee course
Greens were starting to get there, fairways were in good condition. Seriously tempted to join their rolling contract membership. Worth a play and a few nice par3s
First time visit
Good interesting course, and as the starter told us, will enjoy it better 2nd time round once you fully understood the intricacies of certain holes particularly those on the car park side of the main road that bisects the course.
Fairways were in good nick, but some of the greens still needed a few more weeks good weather to get them right - some were still heavily fertisied / sanded.
Interesting course in two parts either said of main road - one side challenging with some curious holes needing a bit of thought and the other more of a standard parkland structure, but still challenging.
Finally, thanks to the starter for welcoming and giving us some good gen on how to play certain of the more interesting holes.
Great course
Brilliant course and a great guy that runs the starter box, Richard. Made us feel super welcome and gave us a run down of the full course, really knowledge and a proper gent. Will be back
Challenging
Very nice course and a fair test for all handicap golfers.
Very well drained fairways, greens were a little sandy but playable.
Mature tree lined fairways - lovely day!
Good short course
I like this course as you can round it in 3-3.30 hours. Greens are a bit sandy at this time of year but at least no winter greens. I originally booked for Friday afternoon but had to reschedule. No issues whatsoever with changing my time to the following day. Thanks Uphall. Will be back.
Quirky Hidden Gem
Lots of other better known courses in the area, don’t know why as this is a lovely wee course. Had a fun time.
Nice to play a course with all regular greens and no mats at this time of year. Very welcoming staff geometrical holes very challenging for high handicappers great day will be back thx
