Ballantre

It was a fun course, despite the rain on the front 9. The greens were in great shape.. The only negative I have to say is that the fairways need a little TLC. Weeds are growing everywhere.

Great staff and facilities. Course needs work

Overall we had a good experience at Ballantrae. Staff was excellent. The price was good so we thought we would give it a shot. The fairways were in pretty poor shape and the greens were extremely slow. I did how ever love the layout of the course. I would hope in time the conditions will improve on the course for a better experience. I can see the potential of this place being a pretty good course. Overall I would recommend to others based on Staff, Facilities and layout.

Enjoyable Round

Enjoyed our round and played with a friendly, helpful member. Need an electronic Garmin or some other device as no hole pictures and few markers available.

Ballantrae a top 10 course in Central Alabama

Ballantrae is a great course. The greens are in wonderful condition and you the Par 3s are the best feature with sand bunkers and water around the greens. Makes for an exciting shot!
