Ballantrae Golf Club

The course is in fantastic condition and is a beautiful layout. The driving range could use some work. Lose sight of ball in open and perhaps have defining areas around flags to pick up where you are placing the ball.

Ballantre is owned by the city of Pelham, AL, so it's technically a "municipal course," I guess. It is certainly one of the nicest munis one could find anywhere. On a pretty busy Friday afternoon, it still honestly had the feel of a "mid-level" private club - very attentive staff, beautiful clubhouse patio behind the 18th green, and decent pace of play (foursomes in front and behind us, two novices in ours, and we still finished in 4:20). If I lived closer, I'd be on their wait list for membership.

The course was in good shape, although it rained a lot so cart path only the few times I played, but the greens were in great shape putt true. I look forward to playing this track again.

My first time golfing here was unfortunately a terrible experience. I was paired with a group of three guys, which is fine. But on the fourth hole one of the guys accidentally hit into the group ahead of us. One of the guys from the other group completely lost his mind and started yelling and cussing at us. He walked all the way to the tee box and then proceeded to yell and scream directly in my face. He threatened me and cussed me out for almost 10 minutes. I wasn’t even the one who teed off into them and I don’t even know the guy who did. I wasn’t just paired with them. He continued to melt down yelling and screaming and threatening me until he finally drove off still screaming the whole way. Then the assistant manager came out and questioned us like we did something to deserve that type of treatment. They gave the aggressor who ruined my golf experience a free round and then did absolutely nothing to make up for the guy ruining my day. The course was beautiful though, and greens were in great condition. Just hope you don’t run into the wrong group of people when they are out playing their free round.

We had a foursome 3 seniors and 45 year old . For a couple of us it was the first on this course in quite sometime. Conditions were excellent. Our pace of play wasn’t what you’d call fast, needless to say that the threesome ahead of us played faster. However the foursome that was behind us was never waiting to take their shots our pace was better than there’s. However the course marshal even though polite encouraged us to pick up the pace twice.. I know he’s got a job to do but it was annoying and took some of the pleasure off our game, especially since we weren’t slowing up those behind us..Short of that great course to play, just know that there’s a clock you’re on.

I went to this course as a single player with cart and met up with 3 other people. It was an enjoyable round from beginning to end. The course is very fair with no waiting time and a very good pace.

Great course. The only thing I didn’t like is their extra ryders fee of $21. That’s unnecessary and unfriendly. But I paid it.

Saw cart girl on 1st hole never saw her again! Man with cold towels saved my life!!

Great course and excellent layout. Condition of course wasn't great yet we have had tons of rain so that isn't the normal experiences I have had playing there.

Near perfection at this course, just wish my game was on par with how nice this course is!
