Ignorant shop staff and children 5 balls
Shop staff extremely ignorant when asking about the course and in the the midst of the round of golf children making up 5 balls just appear to play whatever hole they like and put themselves in danger when u tee off as they just appear on the fairway
It was ok
Tee time was booked for 1020am but didn't get off till 1100am. Ladies 2 ball, member 4ball, member 2ball jumped the line and just tee off when they wanted. As a 1ball was constantly catching up the member of club in 4ball wouldn't allow me to go ahead even though someone in his group said to let me. Some hole tee off not properly marked after ending previous hole.
Great Course
I loved it and the pro shop manager was so accomodating and made me feel very welcome.
It was the ladies day and they were also friendly. Course layout is great and I will definitely be back :)
Poor condition
Course was very wet in places. Fairways hadn’t been cut so hard to distinguish between that and the rough. Overall I would say one word. Neglected.
Poor
Course in the worst condition I have seen it. Have played here many times. Very boggy in places. Fairways uncut. Come on Balmoral, get your act together!!
Swamp
Course was very soft, grass on fairways and rough was long ball plugged every other shot couldn't find a few balls we had hit greens where good but getting to them was a task.
Play it in drier weather summer .
Only play after sustained dry weather
For a flat parkland course it is well routed and the greens are interesting. However, I would only play in mid summer after a period of dry weather and at a good price (£25-30 max).
Terrible experience.
Today was my first time trying this course. We were told at the start to play off winter tee boxes. We understood as we are members of a different course. We were shouted at and harassed by a member of the course for not using a winter tee box on the third hole. We were unable to locate the winter tee box as it was 50/60 yards down the fairway. Instead of asking nicely or even showing us in a nice way where the tee box was he insisted to threaten us by getting kicked off the course for a simple mistake. He used foul language and spoke down to us. He then decided to follow us around the course like we were children. Very creepy man. We were unable to enjoy a round, something we paid for to have a good time. Staff weren’t very helpful either as we weren’t informed before teeing off that the back 9 holes weren’t playable.

Excellent flat course..from 1st to the 18th. Well kept with not to many areas to lose a ball..so play flowed for all groups. Will be back
Lovely flat course
If you can get Balmoral for £20 then I would recommend. Another fair course that rewards good play. Big bonus in being so flat it feels like an enjoyable stroll. Have had some problems with food in the past but the new guys they have got in are very good, food was great. Some good memorable signature type holes. Don't have to be a massive hitter to reach so overall one of my favourites in the greater Belfast area.
