Balfron Golf Club

Booked a round with GolfNow before playing in an open there in a couple of weeks.

Car park was very quiet and on reaching the small clubhouse I was given a friendly welcome by Liz who was the only person to be seen and who gave me some tips about the course. As expected the course was very quiet with very few other players. Several greenkeepers were cutting the fairways and semi-rough. Course was in very good condition. Greens a little slower than they looked, suspect that’s down to the type of grass?

The last 3 holes are blind and tricky! Really glad I had the opportunity to play them especially before the upcoming open.

On finishing my round there was no one in the clubhouse. There are honesty boxes where you help yourself to drinks and snacks.

Looking forward to coming back soon!

What a lovely course Balfron turned out to be.

We were seeking courses within a half hour drive of Loch Achray,where we were staying on holiday, and decided to try Balfron.We were delighted with our choice,as it turned out to be a beautiful course maintained in great condition,including smooth-running greens, with a varied and interesting layout which is challenging without being overly difficult and incorporates winding burns sensitively for added interest, particularly in the closing holes.

The views of the surrounding hills are simply stunning, yet the course itself is not too hilly.

Many thanks to Liz and other members for making us so welcome.

This course will be top of our list the next time we are on holiday in the Trossachs.

I have played this course several times & I've never had a complaint the course is always in good condition I will be back.

The course was in great condition and the views were amazing. Challenging course but not overly difficult I would definitely recommend!

Lovely course with a great variety of par 3 4 and 5's

Not too long but is up and down with hills, would definitely recommend and will definitely be back again.

This is a great course. A bit remote near the Campsie Hills in Stirlingshire, but a nice drive to get there. Took about an hour from the centre of Glasgow. Overall impressions were very positive. Course was in very good condition for the 1st week in April. Tees, fairways, greens & bunkers are well maintained. Nice open fairways, not too many trees or bushes. Although its in land it reminded me of links courses. Its a wee bit hilly but some very nice view from the higher points on the course. Its challenging but not difficult. Club house is very basic but you get a very friendly welcome. I have no hesitation in recommending this hidden gem. .

Thoroughly enjoyed the course today, will be hard pushed to find a better course around with better views and back drops to holes.

Really good lay out and a massive plus is the bunkers having plenty of sand. Greens just been too dressed so greens slow and bumpy but will be for the benefit later in the season, I’m sure they’ll play brilliant in the summer.

Not much of a clubhouse but possibly to be expected in the rural setting. Would love to play again and would recommend to others to do the same.

I love the whole feel to this course. The people friendly and accommodating. Was winter greens at this time but the course is looking and playing good. Fully recommend it🤗👍

Second time playing here great course well worth a visit great layout well maintained even this early on in the season looking forward to coming back in the summer 👍

Warm and informative welcome from club steward and green staff. Really enjoyed the course. Great layout with wide open fairways, giving a great opportunity to hit driver. If you did stray off fairways, the ball was easy to find in the short rough. 16 full greens in play. Winter tees because it’s winter and played ball off fairways as you would in summer. As close to summer golf as you could reasonably expect on an inland course in the winter. Would definitely visit Balfron again.

Course was not in good condition even considering the time of year.

Practise putting green was very small.

Practise driving area didn’t have any nets so useless

Won’t be rushing back anytime soon

Scenery was amazing golf course great for this time of year pity there was still a few winter greens but overall best course I have played so far ⛳️⛳️⛳️

Wasn't informed of winter greens or tees walked off course

Great golf course with great mix of holes with spectacular scenery amazing day

Great course. A bit of hill walking on some holes but enjoyed the course very much.
