First of many rounds here

Nothing bad to say at all about Balmore. Staff were great throughout the day. Course was excellent despite the poor weather so props to the grounds staff. Even the winter greens were better quality then any course I’ve played over the winter. Looking forward to returning with better weather to get the full experience of the greens.

Great Course friendly staff

Great course lots of interesting holes, congratulations to green keepers course was in excellent condition for the time of the year. What an absolute joy to go into bunkers with actual sand in them.

Our 3 ball took just over 3 hours and we didn’t even feel we were going at that pace.

Last comment was to the staff in the club house ( pro shop and bar staff) all very welcoming and helpful. Can’t wait to come back

Great round of golf

Massive positives -

Really warm welcome on arrival.

Condition of course, Fairways are fantastic.

Variation of holes, loved the dog legs, need to think golf.

Greens in good condition, as expected this time of year they were heavily scored but they did a great job rolling them to give us a chance.

Hole signage was excellent, newbies can easily find their way around

Gave 5 stars because any course that provides compressed air cleaners at end of round deserves 5 stars.

Things to watch out for -

Only 1 thing to be aware of, the only road up to the course is horrific, watch out for the potholes.
