Balfron Golf Club

About
Balfron Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course that was recreated from its original layout by respected Scottish golf architect Robin Hiseman. The new nine-hole golf course was opened in 1994, and it was extended to 18 holes 7 years later.
The Baltron golf course is located six miles from Loch Lomond and 20 miles north of Glasgow. There are inspiring views of the local countryside, eerily reminiscent of playing golf in the Scottish highlands.

Great golf course with fantastic views!
First time having played this golf course and I will definitely return. Following a spell of heavy rain the golf course was in great condition, in particular the greens were pure considering the weather in previous days. The back 9 has some fantastic holes with excellent scenic views. Friendly and helpful staff / starter. Will 100% return in the future.
Beautiful course
First time playing this course.. thoroughly recommend..
Excellent golf course
Excellent golf course, very forgiving fairways. Excellent condition well done green staff.
In my top 10
Great course with spectacular views well laid out fast greens good variety of shots required unforgiving rough with little chance of finding your ball if you don’t hit the fairway if you’re not the fittest I’d recommend a buggy or at the very least a trolley I’ve been 3 times in the last three weeks as it’s very well priced for what you get especially with the hot deals i would highly recommend it
Great Course
Balfron is a superb course and you won't find better for the price, will be even better once the club house is finished.
Very enjoyable
It's a challenging course with a few hills to climb and some ditches to catch you out but the fairways are wide and you shouldn't lose many balls unless you're very wayward . The greens are in excellent condition and the views in the middle of the round are fabulous . The new clubhouse should be finished by the end of the year
Great course & views
Some lovely holes with the streams running through. Great views on a lovely day.
Good course but no clubhouse
The course has really nice views but it could do with a clubhouse so players can buy a drink or a snack for playing
Lovely views
Lovely course in great condition great panaramic views bit hilly so if your not so fit like me i would recommend a buggy
Very, very enjoyable.
1st time playing here, it won't be the last. A very, very enjoyable round of golf. Lovely course, lovely views. Well worth the green fees.
We were welcomed by one of the green keppers, friendly and chatty.
Starter came in early to welcome us, good craic and very helpful.
Course is a solid challenge. Fair and in very good condition. Greens were good, rolled well and well kept. 1st cut of rough was as it should be. Fairly easy to find your ball, not always easy to get it out though.
Great layout, some cracking views.
Beautiful course with amazing views. Maintained to a very high standard. We were made to feel very welcome and would definitely recommend it.
Balfron in july
Booked at last minute via golf now. Paid £21 for a round at 1100 in midweek. The weather was drizzly with a stiff breeze to begin with.
Enjoyable walk, helped by scenery and played pretty, well for me.
The course is quite forgiving off the tee, and there are a few shorter par 4s, so I got a bit of flow going in my round. This would help too with the pace of play were it busier.
The greens were generally small, with a few false fronts, some humps and bumps and greens nestling just over a rise, so it felt like a second shot course.
The last 6 holes are a good stretch. Playing back to the clubhouse ,the Campsies are a strong stolen feature and there is out of bounds and water hazards to contend with. This is where my score fell away but the challenge was always thoughtful with good golfing danger. Playing this stretch more would have helped with lines off the tee and clubbing. ( Am a bit old school).
The tees could've done with a cut and divot but the greens were thick with grass and ran true ,albeit slow. I saw the greenstaff out working and they all gave a wave.
This was an enjoyable round ,that encouraged my game and finished with a good run of interesting and fun holes. I'll try and play again this summer.
Great Golf Course
Everything what is said above plus: very good infrastructure to charge your electric vehicle.
Excellent experience
From the friendly greeting by the ground staff to the immaculate greens and fairways the hole course and surroundings were excellent. A credit to the small team who maintain it.
A Hidden Gem
I greatly enjoyed Balfron, it is an excellent example of a community golf club and when their new clubhouse is completed I’m sure it will rise up in the rankings of courses to play. I’d recommend this to anybody, people in the area who have not played this course are missing a treat.
Hidden Fem
What a lovely course, would definitely recommend and will be back for sure.
