Bathgate Golf Club

Love Bathgate...staff very friendly course in excellent condition, green's pretty good
Great weather what more could you ask for

Really enjoyed my round at Bathgate. Interesting, easy-walking course with quick, true greens and generous fairways.

If you fancy some practice before the round there's a large area to practice irons, chipping areas, putting green and bunkered area - superb.

Friendly pro shop is also very welcoming.

Thanks for looking after us - thoroughly recommend!

What a gem of a course this is. Great layout with lots of interesting holes, in very good condition and great value for money.

The course is a good test but is fair with a few well placed bunkers and a water hazard running through the course.
We played early in the season so the fairways and greens were a bit rough but ok.
Would definitely play again later in the season when the bars open!

Nice course to play. Some challenging holes. A few greens a bit bumpy but still enjoyable and in pretty good condition overall

Can’t rave enough, had a great round at Bathgate today. Haven’t played here in many years but just as good as I remember. Lots of very different holes which I enjoy, really intriguing layout. The course was in superb condition considering recent weather and having played another local well respected course last week this was 10 times better. Greens still being prepared but ran true and fast. The staff are a credit to the club, their club pro is so welcoming and let us know everything we needed to know before teeing off - this is something that, unfortunately, many clubs miss out on with grumpy pros who don’t want to talk unless you’re a regular. Green keepers also very polite and welcoming which was a nice change. Absolutely great value for such a course in great confusion, can only imagine this place will be superb once summer hits and the greens are immaculate. Can’t rate the off course amenities are they were off limits due to Covid. Pace of play was absolutely fine, we had 2 boys behind us playing at a million miles an hour but we let them through early and hadn’t a bother after that.

Played with my son during lockdown and before the season started. The course had a lot divots on it - should be using winter mats

Obviously, it is winter time, therefore weather conditions play a factor.
So due to recent inclement weather, only 13 holes were in play, 2 reduced from Par 4s to par 3s, most on temp tees, and all on temp greens.
Had I known the above, I would not have booked. GolfNow policy is course ahs to be closed for refund. It may as well have been!
I've played here before, staff are friendly and helpful, and the course is usually in good condition. Temp greens, reduced holes, etc - not for me so this did not represent good value for money.
NOT knocking the course, more GolfNOW policy and advertising of what you are paying for.

First time playing at Bathgate. I’m a high handicapper, and played myself. The course was in very good condition considering time of year, no mats or winter greens, although a member said that from 2 weeks time, mats were coming into place. Fairways neat and cut nicely, not boggy which i had expected due to the recent rain. Greens had been cored and were a little sandy, but nothing dramatic. Tee boxes were also getting cored. Green keepers stopped for a chat and were very friendly, as were the pro shop staff. A couple of Par 5’s even off the yellows, a nice length of course, pretty hilly on the front 9 then flattened out on back 9. Highlights for me were the Par 3 17th across the burn and the Par 4 round the corner at the 3rd. Will be back.

Nice course in good condition. Just wished I'd played better :-)

The greens were in good shape. Nice layout, a few challenging holes, overall very good will definitely play it again!

Great condition for early season thoroughly enjoyed with some old friends.

Very enjoyable course. The staff were very friendly. However, as we got added to another 2-ball to form a 4-ball in between a medal competition, some members around us displayed their frustrations with the pace of our play. Other than that I would highly recommend.

Course was OK although would be much better if winter greens were cut and not just same as fairway grass.
Staff were friendly.
There was no course rules emailed, messaged or told on the day to me so when we passed a bell we did not know what it was for and ended up recieveing a bit of hassle for not ringing the bell. Should be more explained especially when you have never played on a course before.
