Golfer Reviews
Disappointed
I was quite disappointed in my experience. It started when grounds crew with trimmers shot pinecones at me and my car. The pro shop needs a good cleaning and updating. The course was ok but very shaggy. Not worth the money we paid
Nice round
First time I've played Maples in at least 15 years. Don't know why as I really enjoyed the round.
Thanks for your review! We're so glad that you enjoyed your round. We look forward to having you back for your next round with us!
Pleasant Surprise
A great starter offered useful insight on nuances of the course which came in handy. A nice well balanced layout, with the exception the 18th which is a bit of a let down as a finisher. Course plays a bit short, par 5 greens are reachable in 2 BUT greens are well framed and well protected with bunkers and hazards so exercise caution with long approaches. Fairways and greens in very good condition, (doesn't anybody repair their ball marks on greens anymore ?)
Pace of play was good, restaurant closed for renos but food/drink cart makes regular rounds.
An enjoyable debut and pleasant surprise, looking forward to returning soon to lower score with experiences learned from this first round.
A great value course.
Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you enjoyed your experience at Maples of Ballantrae. We look forward to having you back for your next round soon!
nice little track
tee-blocks could be better.... greens could be faster (though rolled true)... for the money, a nice little track- approx. 6,700 yards but skewed, so may want to play whites on front and blues on back... some nice holes!
Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you enjoyed your round with us. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round at Maples of Ballantrae!
Playable
Original design and first upgrade were excellent. When the previous owners took over and changed the routing to start at the 17th hole they totally screwed up a great design thought out designed course. This could be a gem if done right. Currently always able to get on and challenging enough for the average golfer. Bring your own water if you play early. No water on the course and carts don't come out till 11. One could drop dead by then. I wish the beginners would learn to play on the 9 hole course they have.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you did not fully enjoy your round. We will make sure to address these issues immediately. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round with us!
Good Spot to Play
Some of the course suffered from very dry areas, but that seems to be the case with most golf courses in the area. Greens were green/plush and well kept, with exception to the 10th hole, which had many ball marks and spots. Approach shots stay where you land them, but some of the putts don't seem to read true. Overall a good course, with exceptionally friendly staff. Just don't let the sound of cows distract you on the 17th and 18th.
Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you enjoyed your round with us. We look forward to having you back for your next round at Maples of Ballantrae!
slow pace
course was a very slow pace due to following a tourney. Were behind at most holes waiting for 2 or 3 groups to tee off. Ground was hard due to no rain all summer but thought course was in decent shape. Greens were good.
Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you enjoyed our course and are sorry for the pace of play. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round!
Great course
I would def come back to this course because it was a great layout and pace of play was great. Only thing this course needs to work on is making the tee box less dry as some holes were tough to put the tee in, but other than that beautiful course.
Thank you for your review! We are glad that you enjoyed our course. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round at Maples of Ballantrae!
Poor pace of play
I left the course after playing 13th hole cuz It took me 4 hrs to play 13 holes; average waiting time at each hole was 5-10 minutes.
The only good thing about this course was friendly staff.
Thank you for your review! We apologize for the pace of play. We will make sure to address this issue immediately. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round at Maples of Ballantrae!
MOB
The course layout is ok. The tee boxes are in bad shape and the greens don't run true. The golf carts are very old gas powered carts that took forever to start... that was frustrating. We played for $45 including cart which is about all I would pay for this course. So for that money it was worth it otherwise I would never play there for regular rates.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you did not fully enjoy your experience with us. We will make sure to address these issues. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round with us!
Great Value for the money!
We played late in the day, twilight, played just under 4hrs. didn't have to wait for group in front of us and group behind never caught up with us.
Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you enjoyed your round with us at Maples of Ballantrae. We hope to see you back soon for your next round!
Average Course
The course was in good shape overall, with the greens better than average. Unfortunately the tee blocks ground was so hard you needed a hammer to get the tee into the ground. The course was not very busy for our 4:00 pm tee time, so pace of play was not an issue. No amenities available for after the round which was unfortunate and beverage cart had last call two holes into our round, not good on a hot humid day!!
Thank you for your review! We are glad that you enjoyed our course, but we apologize that you did not fully enjoy your experience. We will make sure to address these issues. We hope to see you back soon for your next round at Maples of Ballantrae!
Stay Away
Would highly recommend you choose another course. Well over 5 hours with no sympathy from "ranger". Inadequate food and beverage options both on course and in club house post round. Not cheap either. With so many great courses in the area it is a wonder this course is still in business. In a world about customer service, in all industries, its like these people just didn't get the memo.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you did not enjoy your experience with us. We always strive to provide our guests with the best customer service possible. We will make sure to address these issues immediately. We hope you will give us another try in the future!
Way too slow
5 1/2 hour round of golf is unacceptable

No food
The course itself was ok, but tee boxes were hard as rocks. Make sure you bring a lot of tees. They had also sold out of any sandwiches and didn't have a restaurant on site. Playing hungry is never fun.

Bare bones golf
Course is old, in fairly good shape.
Crowded on a Sunday for a noon tee off, had to wait on the tee past tee off time.
Restaurant and bar closed by new owners so don't plan on doing anything there after. Poor selection of sandwiches at pro shop, hence "bare bones".
Course itself is moderately challenging and all in all a good place to play if you are into the golf only and not the clubhouse/amenities.

It's ok, but slow
Played on a Saturday afternoon. It was really slow paced. I suspect it's because they have a replay special. My buddy and I hooked up with a twosome doing a replay. Over 5 hour round. Greens were super slow. They were not burnt out or damaged. They just needed to be cut. Bunkers needed more sand. It was an odd experience as I had played this course about 2 years ago and about 5 times in total and I don't recall these issues. The layout is interesting and at times quite challenging. Some good holes that give you some pause for thought before shooting. I like the course and I would play it again to give it another chance. But I hope they address the above mentioned issues, particularly jamming the course with too many players. I should not be part of the spectators gallery on the tee box for the group ahead of me. Same thing when I was shooting. Otherwise a nice layout.
