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.

Hazy start Photo submitted by u3707326 on 09/21/2019
very well maintained course
the course was well maintained, the staff very polite and helpful would definitely play there again.
look forward to seeing the new club house wonce it has been finished.
would highly recommend this course to beginners and also advanced golfers......
Some interesting holes
Blind Tee shots and interesting holes fairways and greens in good condition
Balfron on a wet and windy day
A lovely course surrounded by stunning scenery. The tees, greens and fairways were in very good condition particularly despite some biblical rain in days leading up and some good downpours on the day. Not a puddle in sight.
We got a warm welcome from both local members and the starter who fed us important pointers about play and local rules. There were only a handful of other players out due to the forecast of wind and rain so play was as fast as we wanted it to be.
The new clubhouse is under construction so there are no facilities at all at present but this didn’t spoil a good game on a lovely course.
Great wee course
Not the longest of courses but still enough variety to challenge you, particularly when the wind is blowing as it was during my round. The 14th hole is one of the toughest par 3’s you will come across in these conditions. Greens were in good condition and running very true. Well worth a visit.
Stunning
First class course. Beautifully laid out. Great variety of holes. Superb vistas. Brilliant course!
Very friendly welcome and great value for money.
Excellent course
Brilliant course, nice design and in very good condition. Views are spectacular and value for money was excellent. We paid £24 for a round! The only downside is that a new clubhouse is being built meaning no facilities, when the club house is finished this will be 5/5 on all measures
Stunning golf course
What a fantastic golf course.
Fantastic condition, wonderful views, some testing holes and not too hilly.
A hidden gem!
I will be back.
This course!!
Played this course a few times now, and hats off to the guys that look after it! One of the best courses you will play, very well maintained, holes are excellent, a mixed bunch with there own challenges! And staff are great aswell, always very friendly!
Good value
Nice course , challenging, lot of holes very close to each other. Lot of shouts of fore . All in good condition and worth a visit
Great Day
Visited Balmore based on Golf Now reviews. New clubhouse is currently under construction so hence the lower score for amenities but should be finished in the next few months. Course was well maintained and the views of central Scotland were exceptional. Well worth the drive if your in the area you won't regret it. Well done to all at Balmore.
Nice course great value for money
Balfron is a great course I'm a 22 handicap and it's challenging but fun, I found the greens tough as most seemed to have steep run offs but can't complain about the condition of the course.
Will definitely play again.
Challenging course
This course was very challenging and had lots of blind spots, trenches and water canal's making accuracy imperative when taking your shot. Also, some holes are very close together
Great wee course
Great course
Clubhouse almost constructed which will only add to this gem

Great day out
Course was spotless and in great nick,wee starter guy was lovely on the 1st tee,strictly off the yellows today and had a Texas scramble round with my three mates.
Went round in par and course was well maintained and in great shape,dry as a bone and great views,great value for £25 for 12.30 on a Saturday,would recommend and definitely play again.
Building a clubhouse which is in construction which will only add to a great day out when finished.
