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.

Better than I expected
I wasn't expecting this course to be as good as it was for the price I paid.
Plus points - Fairways were excellent as was the course layout and we were greeted warmly by the starter before and after our round
My only slight negative was that the course was a bit short and I didn't need my driver a lot
I would defo play again.
Scenic & Good Test
This course is a great test. The course is in fantastic condition; the fairways well kept and the green speeds were brilliant and run true. The thick and tall rough means you have to keep your ball straight but plenty of reward if you do. Greens were a very good test with very few straight putts. Staff were very friendly and happy to offer their knowledge before you play. The scenery around the course makes for a beautiful back drop.
Amazing Course,
Course was in incredible condition and offered some incredible views as you progress round the course.
Staff were amazing and really insightful giving some great advise to regarding the course.
Would definitely go back!
Relaxing sunday
2nd time playing this on an early morning Sunday - usual friendly welcome ftpm the staff and opportunity yo tee off early if time allows. Some of the best views in Central Scotland golf and the course in great condition
Balfron Golf Society
Really enjoyed our round at Balfron. We got lucky with the weather and the course was in great condition. Lots to keep you interested in terms of holes and the scenery is spectacular.
Lovely Course and Views
Absolutely beautiful, the Scottish weather held out for us as well. A difficult course but one we will definitely be returning to. The staff are friendly and couldn’t be more helpful,
Great day out, beautiful course.
Fantastic course, booked on a whim and ended up late due to blindly following my sat nav. ( Don't follow the sat nav link in the email).
Met by Jim, who couldn't have been friendlier, did give me a heads up to say there was a 4 ball and two ladies Infront of me so I might catch them up in a few holes.
Gave me the course lay out and a few tips about the first couple of holes.
The course itself beautiful, fairways a bit tight and the rough can disappear any stray balls quite easily. A few blind summits that were a good challenge. lovely mixture of par 3-4-5s. Really enjoyed the par 5s.
Stunning setting, on a beautiful day really enjoyed it. Will be back 100%
Enjoyable
Friendly staff member helped me on arrival giving me details of course and how to get around it. The scenery around the course and course layout is superb. Definitely worth the cost of a round and look forward to returning later in the year. Thanks again.
Stunning scenery and great layout
Really enjoyed the round. Staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating (I was running late). Fairways were in good condition, couple of the greens needs a bit of work. Challenging layout but enjoyable at the same time.
Great course with nice scenery
Course was a bit wet from bad weather but still an excellent course. Fun holes in a nice setting. Would go back again.
Great day out in Balfron
What a fantastic day for golf. The weather was fabulous and the course played well. Would highly recommend a day out to Balfron. The views on the course are absolutely amazing.
Good course
Good course well kept after. Clubhouse small hut. Would play here again
Course was very wet
Good course. Would have been better if I had known in advance that they were sanding the greens!
First time playing this course . We thoroughly enjoyed our day here a little wet underfoot in places but course looking really good considering all the rain we've had .
