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.

Tricky but great fun to think your way around

This was my second time on the course and came back because I enjoyed it first time, particularly a couple of holes where water comes in to play. My memory obviously failed me last time as there are at least 6 holes where it comes into play and a couple of ditches that can also sneak up on you if you're not paying attention. Add on a few dog legs and it all adds up to a course that you need to think rather than blast your way round and best played with an app to give you distances to hazards etc. Fastest and best condition greens I've played on this year and tough finish with two par fives when you're running on low.
Would happily play again tomorrow.

5 years later

Haven’t played Pumphie in over 5 years so was excited to go back and I’m glad I did, the course was in excellent condition and it was as busy as I’ve ever seen it.
Well done to everybody involved in making it one of the best courses I’ve played this year.
Be back very soon :)

Superb course at a bargain price

An absolute gem of a course with a good selection of very interesting holes. The greens were pretty good, - not flat and boring but not overly sloping either. Well-placed bunkers, good water features (complete with ducks and swans!). It even has proper ball washers on every tee! The signature holes (2, 13 and 16) are technically interesting an visually beautiful. The only downside is a couple of long walks between holes but that's all. Will definitely be back there again soon. For the money it's an absolute steal.

Nice course

The course was fine considering the recent weather extremes. Members showed courtesy in letting a single player through which kept my round flowing. Staff before round explained course layout and after bar staff were pleasant. I shall look forward to returning . signage could be improved. The courses signature hole was suddenly upon me without the joy of expectation it’s a tricky terrific hole make a bigger deal of it my advice. Visitors be aware which hole it is as it appears plain off the tee. Thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommended

4hr 10min round

Played here a few weeks ago and decided to go back. Little did I know there was a golf outing on, the pace of play ruined the round, having two groups standing on a tee with a 3rd standing back is shambolic. I get courses need to make money and large parties bring in cash but their pace should be monitored and dealt with if they fall behind. Overall id give it another shot but id be wary of who else is on the course
