Ballantrae Golf Club
Played On 03/25/2016I don't like #17
Ballantrae is owned and operated by the City of Pelham, but this is not your typical municipal golf experience. This is a modern, semi-private club that is nicer than many private clubs. The clubhouse is new and clean, and literally looks like a castle. The staff and service is outstanding.
The course winds through a housing development that has some gorgeous homes. The fairways are wide and forgiving. These three holes are my nemesis (#2, #15 and #18). Hole #2 is a par 5 that has a tiered green with lots of slopes. #15 is a par 3 that has a pond that is a ball magnet. And, #18 is a long uphill hole where bogey is a good score.
Ballantrae is hard to access. From interstate I-65, you wind through residential neighborhoods with multiple stop signs. But, it is definitely worth the trip.
Roebuck Municipal Golf Course
Played On 03/20/2016Rogusta
My friends and I affectionately refer to Roebuck as Rogusta. This is an old school muni that is stuck in time. The layout is decent, and the greens are average. But, this place is cheap, and you don't need a tee time. Just show up and get in line.
The surrounding neighborhood is a little sketchy. I have never had an issue, but I would probably recommend not sticking around after dark.
