Bathgate Golf Club

Weather conditions were terrible however the course was still in great condition
Staff were great

I had great day, booked the round through GolfNow and ended up playing with three other people. The round was good and the company was great. My previous best was 112 for the round last time I played buth this time I shot a 99. The course was in excellent condition. I will be playing Bathgate again to see if I can get a better score next time.

This is a great course for a bargain price. The layout is challenging and a bit longer than some might like, there are some tight drives and approaches which require careful thought. There are some blind drives and a few slopes to negotiate - it's quite an up and down course. The greens were very good but the condition of many of the tees and some of the terrain generally was a bit ragged - some of this can be put down to the recent hot dry spell. Many of the bunkers were unraked which is always annoying. That said, for the price it's well worth a visit.

We really liked this course, helped of course by good weather, greens were excellent. Lovely layout and good grub afterwards.

Quite hard to find if you don't know where you're going as the signage is quite small. Lovely guy in the pro shop, the greens were in outstanding condition when we played, quite fast and always true. I would recommend playing with someone who knows the course as theres points like the 12th tee shot where local knowledge would help. Only other fault was that there was some bare areas due to the dry weather we've had recently but those don't come into play at all really its just aesthetics. Very good course, I will probably visit again

This is quite long, with lots of humpy-bumpy fairways, but always an intriguing, fair challenge. Tees were a bit less good, but the greens were beautifully fast and true. a very enjoyable experience.

The course was in great condition for our 4 ball. Greens were pretty fast and true in the very dry conditions.
Pace of play was very good and the round was completed in about 3hrs 30.
As always staff very friendly and although we didn't use the catering facilities after the round, due to our own time constraints, the food smelt amazing.
Will definitely be back again.

Myself and and friend had a great game at Bathgate GC late on Sunday afternoon. The course is in really good condition and the greens are excellent as usual. Playing late afternoon we had no one behind us and we enjoyed a relaxing game. Bar staff were really friendly as were the young Pro on duty. Good value for money and well worth a visit… Robert Cooper MBE

A lovely course and in hood condition for condition for time of year.
Staff were friendly and welcoming and the same in the clubhouse.
Had to play from side of fairways because of previous wet conditions and low and behold...I was splitting them with most of my drives. That doesn't happen too often LOL.
Overall a great day out for a high handicapper.

Condition of the course was shocking. We were warned by the staff, who were fantastic, but we weren't expecting a course with such a good rep to be in such poor condition.

Losing balls as they disappear under the fairways, which were in poor condition.

Random winter greens which were just flags randomly placed on unprepared bits fairway with no warning which made the fairway markers redundant and make club selection guesswork at times.

Just felt like an abandoned course.

We are aware the weather recently has been poor, but we have played council courses recently in better condition.

No course layout on the scorecard and little to no signage directing you to the next hole had us wandering about lost at times too.

I would like to stress though that the staff were very friendly and helpful. Just a pity about the course as we were exciting at the prospect of a round there.

None of us would recommend the course just now, but it would probably be a different story in a few months.
