Cool day out

Enjoyed the course which was easy to walk not overly tired at the end. Comment below noted poor greens but that wasn't the case from what I played. All good in terms of greens and general course conditions. There were groups in front of me but even playing as a single behind these the play moved along nicely. Can't really think of anything negative to say about the course so happy days.

Day out away from our course

We choose balmore as we heard it was a nice course from folk who played it before a few years back but I feel it was poor quality for a day out away from our own course (Caldwell) the difference was night & day tbh the greens are all too long & bumpy very hairy the worst I’ve played on in a long time I’ve played on better council ran courses & to make things worse the 4 ball in front of us held us up all day & never let us play through we spent as much time on the tee boxes as we did playing the holes I can understand that happens sometimes in golf but we honestly considered walking off at the 12th hole only reason we never as we didn’t want to just walk the course putting others off their game it was a waste of money & I will ne et go back or recommend it to anyone.

Interesting

Lovely course and amenities, not a long course 66par. Each hole gives you something to think about. Walkable and not to hilly apart for the 11th. Would recommend to any golfer who looks for something different on every hole.

Great wee course

Although it was a wet morning when we turned up to play the course was in great shape. Balmore is a great wee track with some challenging holes.

I have played here quite a few time and fort £15 you can’t go wrong. It’s only 15 mins from Glasgow and I would recommend Balmore for a great day of golf

Great wee course

Great course with some lovely holes. Wind was terrible on day of playing which added extra difficulty to the course. Staff always great in pro shop and bar.

Will be back again. 👍

Lovely Golf Course.

Terrific golf course, some fantastic holes, and most enjoyable scenery. Very friendly staff and a big shout out to the pro Dougie who could not have been more helpful. Decent food on offer also.
