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.

One off round

This course was recommended by a local and it did not disappoint. Course was in great condition, greens were perfect. The man in the club shop (likely the pro) was so nice and friendly and laid out the expectations on the course which really helped us out.

Great Value

1st time playing Balmore. We were met with a friendly guy in the pro shop who answered our questions and couldn’t be more helpful. Really nice atmosphere around the club. Will definitely be playing it again. I may even take on a membership. Lovely course and friendly vibe to the place. Well done everyone involved.

Balmore

The course was laid out in rolling tree lined Parkland with ample water features, sand, dry stane walls, and dog legs to challenge and entertain. The course was well cared for and members who were in front and behind me were engaging, gracious and respectful to myself and other course users.

My whole experience was first rate, and I would like to thank the members I met for their welcoming consideration for someone who was unfamiliar with the course.

The undiscovered country…

A very enjoyable round of over the beautiful and colourful Balmore GC just outside Glasgow. Great welcome from Paul in the Pro Shop on arrival, the catering team before and after our golf, and the greenkeepers as we made our way round. Any doubt over the impact of such a prolonged dry spell (May 2025) were soon cast aside at the first green… lush carpets with perfect pace. This Harry Vardon course is well presented, tight in places and challenging everywhere… old walls, burns and deep bunkers… and just because it has 6 par-3s does not equal 18 strokes! Easy to block yourself out and it’s all about placement. I’d happily play it again to get those placements right! Thank you Balmore GC 👍
