Holes 18
Type
Style Parkland
Par 69
Length 5646 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

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."

Significant works ongoing!!

Some good and some not so good.
The good first; fairways and greens (the ones which were on, I’ll come back to that!) were in great condition, dry despite loads of rain previously and lush. There were some lovely holes, notably the par 3’s. The layout is a little quirky, the first few and last few holes being on one side of the road, and there’s a few shared fairways / greens. The middle part of the course can seem a bit straight up and down, but overall there’s enough variety in the holes. There’s also a few bits of the course you could definitely get lost searching for the next tee box, but staff and members were very helpful in keeping us right.

Now the bad; when we’d spoken to the starter he mentioned there was some work going on. We were already aware the old clubhouse had burnt down and was being rebuilt, so the 18th was temporarily a par 3, which was fine. He then said they’d cored a few greens, so there “ may be 2 or 3 winter greens also”… we counted 11 winter greens! Some of them look like they’ll be out for quite a while too - why not just be honest and let us know? We would probably have chosen to play elsewhere, as we had a couple of options. We enjoyed the round due to the otherwise excellent condition, and would consider revisiting when it’s back to it’s full and proper condition and layout (new clubhouse due March / April 2024)..

Lovely wee course.

Great wee course. Quite short but you really do have to plot your way round otherwise it will bite you. Greens were perfect. The18th is reduced to a par 3 as they build the new clubhouse. Still a lovely hole but I felt it was over cautious. A ban on using drivers on the hole would have been enough. I’ll definitely be back.

“SAS” clique oblivious to their pace of play

Course in good condition, greens running true and great welcome by the ‘temporary clubhouse’ staff.

Due to a fire some years ago, there was no clubhouse, also the temporary cafe was closed, just our luck on the day though, that said, would’ve been nice to have known this in advance or if someone could’ve stood in for the person on holiday.

A mid morning tee time had us out behind the “SAS” members (Stands for Saturday and Sunday I was told) so therefore they will be regular stalwarts and really should have known better. From the second tee, they held us up, we were only a 2 ball, there were no competitions on the course and so absolutely no reason for us not to be let through.

These sort of guys should know better, I’m a club member elsewhere and I’d be embarrassed if this happened on our course.

Unfortunately I won’t return as I can only play at weekends and would not want to get stuck behind them again. For such a short course, an almost 4.5hr round as a two ball has left a sour taste.

Played here on 11-09-23, and once again, I didn’t disappoint, I’ve played here on several occasions, and yesterday was probably the best I’ve ever seen the course, the fairways were lush and cut to perfection, while the greens were stunning and quick. Hats off to the greenkeeper and all his staff, for all there hard work. Cant wait to return.

Excellent Value For Money

Fantastic course for the price, course conditions were fantastic and the greens were lightning quick. Need to be accurate off the tee as some are quite tight lined with trees.
One shared green but no problems there. The new clubhouse looks like it will be lovely when it's finished!

Fun day out.

We got very helpful instructions before starting, The course was in great condition, the fairways were better than my lawn at home ! We gave up on Hole 3 after losing some balls, we should have remembered the instructions we were given ! From hole 4 onwards there were some long holes, but we enjoyed the whole experience.

First time visit

Good interesting course, and as the starter told us, will enjoy it better 2nd time round once you fully understood the intricacies of certain holes particularly those on the car park side of the main road that bisects the course.

Fairways were in good nick, but some of the greens still needed a few more weeks good weather to get them right - some were still heavily fertisied / sanded.

Interesting course in two parts either said of main road - one side challenging with some curious holes needing a bit of thought and the other more of a standard parkland structure, but still challenging.

Finally, thanks to the starter for welcoming and giving us some good gen on how to play certain of the more interesting holes.

Very nice course and a fair test for all handicap golfers.
Very well drained fairways, greens were a little sandy but playable.
Mature tree lined fairways - lovely day!
