I really enjoyed my round at Balmoral
I really enjoyed my round at Balmoral, the staff and members were very friendly, letting me play through whenever I caught up with groups as a solo golfer. The holes were a little basic but I enjoyed the layout of the par 3s on the back nine, the course is also very easy to walk with minimal hills. I would recommend this course if you can get one of the deals for it, but otherwise I think £50 a round is a little steep during the day for this course.
Brilliant course
Superb condition and lovely to play in heart of Belfast
Grwat course
Great conditions, alot of long par 4's and easy to walk. Fairways are open. Will play again
Parkland course
Nicely laid out course. Some testing holes. Will return again.
Good all round course
Excellent greens and fairways, rough maybe slightly too rough. Friendly staff, good course layout and pace of play
Unacceptable pace of play
I was playing a 2 ball today (30th august) and the front 9 was free and empty resulting in enjoyable golf. However, I don’t know if this 3 ball of ladies just started at 10 or if we just didn’t see them the entire time on the front (if you’ve ever played here it’s unlikely you don’t see them) but they proceeded to not only hold our 2 ball up but also a 2 ball behind us and a single. It was completely unacceptable and just pure and utter ignorance from the 3 of them. It took us just under 2 hours to play 6 holes and by this point all three groups had had enough and walked off the course. (Complete joke). According to the group behind us one of the women was the women’s captain (if this is true god help the club). I have never encountered fellow golfers with as much ignorance to not let groups through. Safe to say I will not be back at this course which is a shame as the staff in the pro shop are very friendly and if you get a good tee time on golf now it is good value.
Hidden Gem
Very well maintained course and a good mixture of challenging holes both short and long. Good pace of play and really enjoyable round. Would highly recommend and will definitely return soon
The course was a bog only nine holes in play, I would avoid playing it again until summer
Course Half Closed
Unfortunately I used one of my Golf Now Passes , disappointingly the back 9 of the course was closed and I feel like I didn’t not get the value for money. Also most fairways were bogged or hard to get sure footing for many shots. Staff were down to Earth and apologetic about the conditions but I feel there’s a need for more of a connection between the course and Golf Now as I paid far too much for a round which was severely hampered by poor ground and 9 holes unopened.
Fantastic course.
I've played here twice since moving up to Belfast with work. So I been playing as many courses I can. Balmoral is so far the best I've played so far. Great lay out, Some great holes throughout and I really love the 18th. Great looking finishing hole.
Only dropped it a star for condition because it is oct and the rain had been falling all week but even then it was holding up OK.
Work 3 Ball
Nice day although course conditions were heavy under foot, but understandable given the so called summer we’ve had.
Pace of play on front 9 was slow and it wasn’t helped by 2 x walk ons who mysteriously appeared on the 2 nd green between us and the 4 ball who tee’d off before us.
Funny when we got to hole 10 they had disappeared - too close to the club house I suspect.
All in all a good day though.

Friendly staff. Nice course with good greens and overall condition. They'd had a lot of rain recently so a bit mucky in places (had a few plugged lies) but just had to adjust to what we'd consider 'winter' conditions.
Standards have slipped
Used to be a great course, but has went down hill badly….greens were terrible & held up by members on most of the holes
