Balfron Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Balfron Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course that was recreated from its original layout by respected Scottish golf architect Robin Hiseman. The new nine-hole golf course was opened in 1994, and it was extended to 18 holes 7 years later.
The Baltron golf course is located six miles from Loch Lomond and 20 miles north of Glasgow. There are inspiring views of the local countryside, eerily reminiscent of playing golf in the Scottish highlands.

Rain didn't spoil day
We played on the wettest day in the last 3 weeks, but it didn't dampen our spirits. Very helpful lady starter gave us a few hints for the first hole, and the course is an absolute gem, great layout, good mix of hole design and set in the most stunning countryside. The gentlemen at the end apoliged for the weather which summed up the friendly, community feel of the course . We will return when the sun is shining to see this gem at its best
Very well kept
Course is in great condition, greens were immaculate. Very basic club house so wouldn’t advise for a social event but a lovely wee course all the same. Will definitely revisit at some point
Superb
Superb course and even better service. Course was a good but fair challenge in beautiful surroundings. Will definitely be back in the summer.
A GEM OF A COURSE
First time playing this hidden gem excellent layout and condition well worth the money and will definitely recommend and hope to return some time soon. 10 out of 10 to the ground staff for the excellent up keep and hard work put in moreover the work being done around the course to make it even better in the future.

Enjoyable round in super weather conditions
Interesting course with good views & streams meaning positional play was required. Started off behind a slow 4 ball but they let us through early on & pace was good after that. Course condition was fairly good for time of year although the greens had been sanded fairly recently.
Hidden gem
A well maintain course very friendly staff Beautiful scenery on a clear Day absolute value for money
Scenic
Great golf course with great mix of holes with spectacular scenery amazing day
Wee Beauty
Very friendly staff when I booked in given a short layout of course .
Not a long course but very well layout and the greens off all sizes and slopes , tee area and fairways are very well looked after.
Played this course on a fair day ,this course will have more bite in the wind.
What a beautiful course.
Played my first round the other day. Fabulous fireways and lovely greens. The course played tough with strong winds, generally a great test and unbelievable scenery. A must play! I would join here if it wasn't so far away!
Terrific course and friendly welcome
First time playing the course and will be back.
Played after a few days of very heavy rain - so course was wet - but in terrific condition given the weather.
Head greenkeeper was out early doors on Sunday Jan 3rd to make sure greens were OK which is pretty impressive as we were the only booking.
It's a lovely layout - not hugely long but you need to think your way round - and the scenery is awesome.
Great course and brilliant greenkeeper - will be back in the Spring...
Great course but......
Love this course, excellent value for money and always in better condition than any other course within 20 miles.
But every year even though they have 6 months to think about it they pap you on to winter tees that just aren't fit as a tee.
