Uphall Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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."

Very forgiving course!
Loved playing this course! Extra wide fairways and ground underneath trees clear so no trouble finding your ball.
Excellent course for beginners and experienced players.

Excellent quirky course in great condition well worth a visit
A very warm welcome awaits at Uphall GC. Both the Soup Shack and the starter made us feel welcome and appreciated, excellent service indeed.
The course is a pleasant surprise throughout with extremely good fairways and greens. Suitable for all ages with easy walking with some short but challenging holes. The wind effect from the West adds to the challenge and enjoyment. Well worth a visit all year round with greens used in a 12 month season.
Nice enough wee course, but strange layout.
Course is actually quite nice. Pleasant surroundings and a few quirky holes.
Played on lovely summer evening and despite the course being busy, managed to make it round in good time.
Condition of the course was ok, bunkers and fairways good but greens not the best - slow and bumpy.
Course layout is strange, quite a few holes that cross over, or share greens/ fairway space which proved to actually be quite dangerous with people teeing off or walking in the opposite direction at times. You definitely need to be alert to other golfers playing.
Well worth a try
First impression is that you don't know where to go from the car park. Don't let that put you off. As you walk through, there is a cabin (clubhouse was burned down). Unfortunately nobody was there but all the tee boxes have their numbers on. It could do with some signage to the next tees in places but all in is a cracking course, in great condition and well worth a try. Tricky on places and sometimes a bit up and down but it has loads of character and the small greens make it more difficult
Decent value for money especially for a Sunday in peak summer, staff/locals were very accommodating and friendly. However the layout leaves a lot to be desired, fairly chaotic at times with the shared fairways and greens. Fairways/bunkers and tee areas were in good condition but greens were really slow. 3rd and 16th holes were the only real standouts, both nice par 3s. For the price it is you cannot complain
Hats off to the staff this course was in fantastic condition, fairways were beautiful (even if I missed most of them) greens were great too. Starter very helpful and friendly and all the best to him in his recovery from recent surgery. Would definitely recommend
Uphill Golf Club
Great.course, excellent condition with very friendly starter greeting us when we arrived, as first timers at they’re course he explained the layout and playing protocols. Also members on the course were very friendly and welcoming.
Fun course with a couple of crossover holes
A very enjoyable course with consistent greens, water in play on a few holes and lots of trees to keep you honest. Keep it straight off the tee and you should be able to score well. Crossover fairways at a couple of holes helps keep you focused, but don't let that or the temporary lack of a clubhouse put you off.
Good test
Nice condition course. Few shortish holes and some nice par 3s. Course was in good condition for time of year and greens were true
Excellent course
Really enjoyed first time playing at Uphall. Interesting layout, great condition. Only a couple greens were having some repairs done but overall cannot fault.
Couldn't have been made to feel more welcome by the starter - excellent advice on how to play the course on the day due to the conditions. Will definitely be back.
