Polwarth Open Round
Played here for the Polwarth Open. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and the group I played with. Front nine is slightly trickier than the back with many pins being hidden and protected well by bunkers and mounds making for a challenging approach. Generally the course is short with tight, sloped fairways requiring a precise tee shot on all par 4s. Highlight was the longer par 3 17th, Polwarth Tavern hole.
A good test in town
Narrow fairways with lots of trees to keep your drives honest, some blind shots and tricky elevation changes to challenge your course management, and a few testing greens make this a really good course in the centre of town. Highly recommend
Well kept course
Played for the first time in years
From the minute we met the guy in the shop we were made welcome
Everyone on the course was friendly
The course itself is in really good condition and is a nice wee test
Some lovely holes and the green are in immaculate condtion
Overall a great golfing experience
Great Wee Course
Some challenging holes eg 1st. Otherwise lovely course which at this time like most courses in Scotland is suffering from the extreme rainfalls of last 6 months
Compact and well maintained course
The course had set up winter tees but still used the actual greens so this had little impact on our enjoyment of the game. We were asked to use a mat on the fairways. There were some holes where the green direction was not obvious so markers on the fairways would help visitors.
Unfortunately, on the day, we were caught behind a very slow fourball who did not let any following groups through. Does the club promote “ready golf”.
In summary, we had an enjoyable game of golf on a good course with fine facilities and very friendly, helpful staff.
Great course
Great shorter course fun to play. Layout is a little confusing on certain holes so be careful. Example, the 8th hole crosses in front of 9th tee box, we had no clue and walked in front of a group teeing off looking for a ball. Same happened on 17th green, the 18th tee box is right there. Would definitely come back as staff was very nice and so were other golfers, great experience.
Great course
First time playing, loved playing a short course that’s protects the greens with pot bunkers. Would love to play again but from the US. Staff was super and really made us feel welcome.
Great Value for Money on a Fun Course
Love playing this course. Set on beautiful grounds near the Edinburgh City Centre, the course is well maintained and challenging without being too tough. I'm not a long hitter so this course plays well for me. Greens well-maintained, balls gone stray are not difficult to find and the layout makes great use of available space. Really recommend this course!
Lovely Course
Overall I thought Liberton Golf Club would be well worth a visit if you can grab a cheap tee time. The Pro Shop acts as the starters hut and is located next to the members carpark, its about a 200 yard walk from the visitors carpark back past the large stone clubhouse. Very friendly man in the shop who explained the course layout to me and how to find my way between greens and tees that weren't necessarily self explanatory. I was most impressed by the condition of the greens, bunkers and tee boxes. If I could improve the course I would implement aiming posts on quite a few of the holes as there is alot of tee shots where you cannot see the green and therefore don't know the ideal line off the tee. I think ideally you'd play with a member so they can point you in the right direction.
