Uphall Golf Club

About the club

We are West Lothian’s most progressive golf club with massive investment in drainage to USGA specification keeping us open when others have the course closed signs up. We are a friendly members’ club where we enjoy a mix of social and competitive golf. Our par 69 parkland course is fair but challenging, with the aim being to provide an enjoyable all-round golfing experience. The Club has a strong focus on the development of our Junior players. There are more than 100 young players, ranging from age 9 organised / supervised by a dedicated Junior Convenor, supported by a number of other members. The Junior Section Members also have access to coaching from the Club’s highly regarded professional, Gordon Law. Our course has traditionally played to a Standard Scratch Score (SSS) of 67 against a par of 69, which was seen as an extremely stern test, but despite requests to the SGU, we were unable to convince them to evaluate the SSS upwards. That was until 2011, when the combination of the toughened up 11th, new bunkering and finally, the extension of the 3rd to 175 yards from the back of the medal tee, persuaded the SGU to increase the SSS to 68, which we feel is a fairer reflection.
