Ballantrae Golf Club

The course is in excellent condition beautiful fairways and scenery with fast paced challenging greens. The course is a tad on the long side so a long ball is definitely helpful. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone. I will definitely be back

This is one of the best golf course I have ever played. The staff was great the course was great, everything about it was great. If I ever get the chance I will definitely come back again!!

All stars warranted, Super course, layout,fairways,Fairways, greens.

This place is by far one of the nicest courses I’ve played. I’m new to the sport of golf and really enjoyed it.

First time to play this course. Very friendly staff. Course was in great condition. There was an annoying plastic barrier in between the 2 riders in the carts. Hoping they get rid of those soon. Would definitely return.

It’s one of the best in the best public course in the Birmingham and surrounding area. The course offers a lot of variety and gives you a chance to use all the clubs in your bag. The best part of the course was the greens. The greens were in outstanding shape and a little faster than your typical course in this area. Definitely enjoyed the course and would highly recommend it.

I’ve played Ballantrae many times. Mostly in good shape but today it was awful. Traps were hard and lacked any real raking recently

The tee boxes were the worst I’ve ever seen! Holes, divots, uneven everywhere and on every box

The greens were ok but the fairways had very little grass and scalped! Hitting a normal divot from an iron shot brought out mud and/or dried mud. You had to pick it clean in the fairway or you would hit an errant shot

This condition is what I expect from a country course that charges $28 but for what you pay to play there, it’s truly unacceptable , especially from a city course with tax payer subsidies.

I hope they get their act together soon but I would NOT recommend wasting your money there at this time!

Ballantrae’s greens are the best I’ve ever seen them. They are firm and roll beautifully (pay attention to grain) yet hold well-struck approaches.

Course drained well despite a good bit of rain the night before and off and on rain during the round. Never encountered standing water.

Liked the pink flags in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. Nice touch.

$40 afternoon rate w/ cart is one of the best values in Birmingham right now. Brilliant move by management in a highly-crowded and competitive public golf market.

The course’s greens are in the middle of healing from aerification a week ago. They still were a little bumpy, but all in all they were fine and should be normal in a week or so.

Course was very wet from overnight rains, so it was CPO, which made for a lot of walking. Fairways were in really good shape otherwise.

Cupp really gets crazy with a couple of the green complexes, particularly Nos. 2, 8, and 12. The par 5s are not overly long from the III tees.

Good mixture of straight holes and ones that move from left right to left, so right-handed players that draw the ball will enjoy this layout.

The course is taking $10 off the rate through the end of the week in lieu of the recent aerification.

Course was in excellent condition. Staff was friendly and attentive. Not a lot of roll on the fairways (starter mentioned this) which challenged my distance a bit, it greens were excellent - not super speedy, but quick and rolling true.

Saw a negative review about that the course had “gone down” - I saw no evidence of that. Seems to be well taken care of and was quite fun to play. I will return.
