Hi, unfortunately the day we had booked to play your course it was closed due to weather conditions 29/12/21. I have since been unsuccessful in getting a refund as we booked through the GolfNow app. Would it be possible to honour our booking at another convenient time as it would be a great shame to miss out on playing such a beautiful course.

Yours sincerely

Darren.

Terrible comditions

After trying call Balmore Golf club, to find out if course was open after the snow, we turned up to find there was no one about, with Pro shop closed and no food to be served, headed over to. Tee off to be told all greens wee winter ones,by a green keeper whom had just appeared,, sonas had no pre paid had no other choice to tee off or walk off lose money, the winter greens were not even cleared of snow or other leaves etc, they wee on slopes which was impossible to even try use a putter, walked off after 4 holes as tbh a dont know the course in this condition was open, had looked fowRd to this round, but with weather at 0degrees and snow all on temp greens and fairways felt was wrong decision to open course, was waste of time and had paid £80 for a fourball on a course were saw 2 women who also walked off after few holes was really disappointed

Lovely wee course

Really nice course,short but don't be fooled thinking it's easy,need to place your tee shots well and par 3,s(six of them) all require accurate shots, looking forward to playing during summer,definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful Course

This is an absolutely stunning course, very well kept and a great layout. The par 3s in particular are a highlight.

Dont be fooled by the yardage and lower par score, this is a tricky course with lots of well placed bunkers and a challenge even for longer hitters when the wind is howling.

Brilliant Balmore

2nd time playing here in the last two weeks through Golfnow and second time was just as good as the first. Despite the heavy overnight rain the course held up well where others nearby were closing for the day. A great course with a good

Selection of par 3s and 4s that make you want to go back round again as soon as your finished and very friendly welcoming staff . Looking forward to going back again and maybe bettering my score someday soon . A course /club I could join without much persuasion

Good course

Very enjoyable round of golf, a bit on the expensive side, excellent course conditions.One thing I didn’t like much was the fact that 2 holes required you to give priority to others playing across the fairway that you are on.
