Ballantrae Golf Club

What a different experience from what I’m used to playing on in fl. All the golfers I got joined up with were super friendly. The course was great and every hole had amazing views and I had a great time.

Course in great shape. Usually not a weekend golfer but this was a great deal and play pace was wonderful

Très beau layout. Les greens sont très bien. Pour un début de saison, c'est excellent.

Course is under renovation and no one told us until after we paid. 3rd hole was closed as they actively worked on the green side bunkers. Most of the bunkers had no sand or were tarped. Love this course, but won’t be back until they finish the renovation.

Ballantrae is a nice course. Very challenging greens with unforgiving and fast greens! Several are sloped and easy to misjudge. The bunkers are currently being renovated and not playable. Fairways and tee boxes are well maintained. Golf carts are in good repair. Staff is friendly. Pace good with minimal waiting.

Awesome course. Very cool layout and in great condition. Perfect for golfers who want to work on their game, or simply enjoying the sport with friends. Great staff and customer service. 10/10

Course was in really good shape, including the greens. Real nice course.

The was In really good condition for January and greens putted excellent. Very nice layout.

Course was in great condition for this time of the year, I just wish people would use the sand to repair divots!!

Ballantrae is one of my favorite courses I’ve ever played. It’s tucked away in a gorgeous part of the Oak Mountain area south of Birmingham and has so much character from the neighborhood, the clubhouse, signage, and it’s signature Castle that it feels like a total escape from reality for an absolute bargain.

Great design that makes you excited to play the course over again the second you finish. Quality course management and greenskeeping that stands up to the highest rated courses in your area and keeps your focus on the course design and your own game.

Several holes that any course would be honored to call their signature hole. Standouts in my opinion are the 2nd, 5th, 13th, 14th, 17th, and 18th. (Yes, that many.)

The staff is also second to none. Very accommodating, genuine, and helpful. Accepting of singles running solo (don’t use this as a GUARANTEE - this is just my experience of playing early in the week and it’s hard to find accommodating courses in the area.)

I make the 35 minute drive to play this course as often as I can and it’s worth every penny. If you’re in eastern Birmingham area/HWY 280, do yourself a favor and drive down 280 to Chelsea, and take 11 through Oak Mountain to get there. It’s a treat I look forward to anytime I make a tee time and one of the prettiest drives in the area.

Fairly new to golf and the rolling hills and extremely fast greens were a little much for me. Overall I enjoyed the course and can’t wait to come back in the spring/summer when everything is blooming and the fairways are green. Greens and tee boxes were beautiful

In general the course was in decent condition. It needdd mowing though. Tees were hairy and rough was DadEP. Lost several playable balls in the tough. Also, they needed to blow the leaves off the rough. Lost several well-hit & playable balls under leaves. Frustrating, but that’s fall golf. Good news is the greens were in great shape and I found more balls than I lost due to the above.
