Balfron Golf Club

Played Balfron on 31/5/17 after a recommendation and really enjoyed it.
A friendly welcome on arrival and we were advised we would be better going off in front of the medal was great advice.
The layout of the course was excellent and playable for all levels. Some short par 4s and longer ones as well as great range of par 3s. Views were fantastic and the condition of the course was excellent with a full team of green keepers working on it.
Only slight complaint was the pace of the greens. Very slow but smooth.
Without rushing round we took 3 hours 15 mins which on a warm day was acceptable rather than the 4 or 5 hours you can get some places.
Will be back again for sure.

Course was a bit wet from bad weather but still an excellent course. Fun holes in a nice setting. Would go back again.

What a fantastic day for golf. The weather was fabulous and the course played well. Would highly recommend a day out to Balfron. The views on the course are absolutely amazing.

Good course. Would have been better if I had known in advance that they were sanding the greens!

First time playing this course . We thoroughly enjoyed our day here a little wet underfoot in places but course looking really good considering all the rain we've had .

Overall, I really enjoyed this course and found it quite challenging. Some fine holes with some amazing scenery from just about every hole. I was lucky with the weather and will definitely be more challenging in different conditions. Will definitely be back.

Played a 4 ball. Excellent course. Greens superb.

The views are stunning.

Beautifully kept course with absolutely stunning 180degree views of the stunning Scottish countryside. Would absolutely recommend this stunning course and will be returning.

Not the longest golf course you will play however some lovely scenic and challenging holes. Set in the beautiful Scottish countryside, the course on a sun my day (as we had) is spectacular.

Do not turn up expecting a bar,or a pro shop as those facilities are not there. The lady who was in charge of guest services was friendly, full of good advice and when asked “can I buy some golf balls” said she normally just gives out golf balls that the maintence team finds.

Overall challenging track set in stunning surroundings. I would recommend to anyone looming to test their skills away from the main stream golf clubs.

Played this course a few times highly recommended will be back many times

Stunning golf course with stunning views. Great layout with a few challenging holes. Would definitely play here again. Greens in great condition

Clubhouse was shut when I arrived so no idea about amenities. Think the guy must have disappeared for a bit. Quite a tricky course, a lot of blind tee shots (never a good thing). Rough was too thick as well meaning you get penalised heavily in the first cut. Greens were decent when I played. Few nice memorable holes, 16 (I think) was particularly fun to play.

Booked a round with GolfNow before playing in an open there in a couple of weeks.
Car park was very quiet and on reaching the small clubhouse I was given a friendly welcome by Liz who was the only person to be seen and who gave me some tips about the course. As expected the course was very quiet with very few other players. Several greenkeepers were cutting the fairways and semi-rough. Course was in very good condition. Greens a little slower than they looked, suspect that’s down to the type of grass?
The last 3 holes are blind and tricky! Really glad I had the opportunity to play them especially before the upcoming open.
On finishing my round there was no one in the clubhouse. There are honesty boxes where you help yourself to drinks and snacks.
Looking forward to coming back soon!

What a lovely course Balfron turned out to be.
We were seeking courses within a half hour drive of Loch Achray,where we were staying on holiday, and decided to try Balfron.We were delighted with our choice,as it turned out to be a beautiful course maintained in great condition,including smooth-running greens, with a varied and interesting layout which is challenging without being overly difficult and incorporates winding burns sensitively for added interest, particularly in the closing holes.
The views of the surrounding hills are simply stunning, yet the course itself is not too hilly.
Many thanks to Liz and other members for making us so welcome.
This course will be top of our list the next time we are on holiday in the Trossachs.

I have played this course several times & I've never had a complaint the course is always in good condition I will be back.

The course was in great condition and the views were amazing. Challenging course but not overly difficult I would definitely recommend!

Lovely course with a great variety of par 3 4 and 5's
Not too long but is up and down with hills, would definitely recommend and will definitely be back again.
