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."

Nice but......
Course layout for the first 5 holes is poor, needs more next tee signs, numbers on the flags and a course layout on the score card, no number on 5th tee box, by 2 tee boxes close to the 4th green.. We almost walked off. Lots of shared fairways and crossovers at the beginning and end.
The condition of the course is really good and the greens are excellent
Best condition in west lothian hands down
What a joy this is. Stunning greens & beautiful fairways. Short but tight at points. Best conditioned course in the area by a mile.

This is an excellent course, unfortunately we played on the day that the greens had been cored and sanded. We still enjoyed the course and will definitely be back.
Excellent condition, excellent course
The whole course was in superb condition. Starter was very friendly offered great course management advice.I’m a high handicap player and course was great to play but challenging at times. Will 100% be back.

Love this course,
I started playing this course a couple off months ago, and now I am a regular visitor.
The course is in great shape, due to the hard work from the staff,. It’s not to long with some short par 4s, with the signature hole being the Par 3 16th, I would definitely recommend this course to anybody who hasn’t played it before.

Due to a fire there is no club house so the amenities are limited; However, the staff were very friendy and accomodating.
Beautiful course not for high handicappers!
my friend and I enjoyed around but are both high handicappers and the odd slice and hook was often followed by a "fore" shout.
Often an occasion where a ball would fly past you or bounce fairly close as a lot of the greens, tees and fairways overlap and are very close together. These were the only negatives for the course however. It is in a fantastic condition. Pro shop staff and the members all very friendly and will definitely play again once I feel like we have more control of the ball!
Fairways greens tee box's feel like targets
Played a 2 ball here today and high marks for Pro shop and quick where to go and what to look out for, very friendly.
Greens small but in great condition, held the ball and very consistent fast speed.
Course layout felt almost dangerous though with shared fairways and greens, serveal tee boxes and others greens in range while playing your hole, just felt tight and squeezed into too small an area.
Played Uphall for out first time yesterday
Stepped onto the first and within a couple of minutes there was 3/4 shouts for "fore" behind us due to the 18th tee being behind the first!!
Uphall golf course
Cracking wee track, what a joy to play off of fairways (No mats) at this time of year. Lots of quirky holes, great all round wee course. Will definitely be back.
