The local council (ie owners) say it is SSS 74
Cool thanks. Yeah the misinformation confused things a little. How did you find that out?

emailed them at the council office
I have now spoken to a contact in Scottish Golf and have the following from their Course Ratings
Tees Length SSS
White 6506 73
Yellow 6270 72
This suggests that the difficulty (ie obstacles etc) factor is pretty high
PS I suspect the the council information came from someone not that knowledgeable about golf or the course
1) They may only put the white out for (major) competitions
2) I didn't ask when the rating was last done
3) The card image (your post #16) shows 3253 which equals 6506 for 18.
Don’t think they do competitions at this place. Never seen one or heard of one in the two years I’ve been going. There’s never any posts on Facebook unless there’s a private group for members.
Thanks for checking that out. It’s good to know. I won’t feel so bad when I plant my next drive on the first into the woods and finish with a quadruple bogey! 🙂
This all seems very strange. There doesn't seem to be any organisation, proper scorecards with SSS, and apparently no competitions. SGU shows the course as being affiliated but who paid the affiliation fee and on what membership basis? Somebody somewhere must know something.
It's a municipal owned by West Lothian Council part of a larger County Park. The course is managed by West Lothian Leisure.
