No par 5s !

A great course for those who find long par 5s a challenge - there are none. The course has a lovely layout, with a nod to the Azaleas at Augusta on a couple of holes. I've played it a couple of times though and it can be tight in places.

On the last occasion the only spoiler was the couple in front who were not in any hurry to beat the rain !

Bar staff and golf pro very friendly, certainly worth another visit.

Gem of a course with a great welcome!

Balmore GC is an extremely well manicured course with some lovely scenery. The fairways and greens were of an exceptional standard, and the course was a joy to play.

We received a great welcome from members and staff alike and we will definitely be returning very soon to enjoy the entire experience again.

Lovely course with a friendly welcome

This was a well manicured course with some lovely scenery. The fairways and greens were of a very high standard and the course was a joy to play. Not too difficult for myself and partners who are all mid handicappers.

The welcome from the Pro Shop and the Clubhouse was very friendly and all staff were accommodating and helpful.

We will certainly return and would recommend this course without hesitation.

Balmore golf club

The course was in fantastic condition.and the guy in the clubhouse was very helpful just thought the greens could have done with a little bit of watering very hard to stop the ball on greens from a approach shot but overall great course will definitely go back again

Great little course

Great little course, not told about about playing with a mat until I was approached by the most rudest groundsman I've met on a course. Was condescending cheeky and lied to me as well. Ruined a great day on a great course, definitely won't be back and couldn't recommended it. Looked down at me when I told him I was a first time visitor and booked via tee off times. I just walked straight of the course.

In future please let first time visitors know, i would happily adhere to any rules, i would of happily bought a mat at the start of the round,not a problem. The thing that annoys me most, a 3 ball In front and behind me and nothing was said to them.

DO NOT PLAY IF WINTER GREENS

Had heard some good things about the course from a former member and so headed up on a frosty morning in January. We fully expected to play on winter greens given the forecast. However, what we didn't expect was the layout.

We'll overlook the fact that the clubhouse alarm was going off and could easily be heard over the first 6 holes as they had obviously elected to let all the staff have the day off (it is a public holiday in Scotland). We had booked ahead using the internet so tee'd off. It became clear that the temporary greens have been setup to remove the character from the holes. It would appear no attempt has been made to protect the greens. Rather than having the temps on the aprons of the current greens, some are as far away as 150 yards (8th). The setup for the 15th and 16th beggars belief as well as the placement of the green for what should be a great 17th hole.

The course does look like a great challenge when playing correctly, but with the number to choose from in the area I'd be more inclined to try them out before returning here.

A Little Gem

I first played Balmore just over a year ago, and really enjoyed the experience. A friendly welcome from the helpful staff made the pre-round experience very relaxing. There's a practice area for those, like myself, who like a warm up. The course is very well kept and the USGA greens are excellent. The course offers plenty of challenges and also some great looking holes. Some might not like the fact that the course has no Par 5s but that suits me as I'm no long hitter. My friends all love this course too so it makes for a great social occasion. If the membership was a bit cheaper, I'd have most likely joined by now, as I've played there at least a dozen times over the last year.

A Hidden Gem

Balmore is a friendly & welcoming Club with stunning scenery to compliment its well presented and challenging Course with testing Greens.
Well worth the effort to try out the Course and once you have done so - you will return.
Enjoy !
