Under renovation

Course is under renovation and no one told us until after we paid. 3rd hole was closed as they actively worked on the green side bunkers. Most of the bunkers had no sand or were tarped. Love this course, but won’t be back until they finish the renovation.

Nice course

Ballantrae is a nice course. Very challenging greens with unforgiving and fast greens! Several are sloped and easy to misjudge. The bunkers are currently being renovated and not playable. Fairways and tee boxes are well maintained. Golf carts are in good repair. Staff is friendly. Pace good with minimal waiting.

Fall Golf at Balantrae

In general the course was in decent condition. It needdd mowing though. Tees were hairy and rough was DadEP. Lost several playable balls in the tough. Also, they needed to blow the leaves off the rough. Lost several well-hit & playable balls under leaves. Frustrating, but that’s fall golf. Good news is the greens were in great shape and I found more balls than I lost due to the above.

Long and Difficult

Fairly new to golf and the rolling hills and extremely fast greens were a little much for me. Overall I enjoyed the course and can’t wait to come back in the spring/summer when everything is blooming and the fairways are green. Greens and tee boxes were beautiful

Beautiful day

Weather was fantastic and course in great shape, particularly the greens which were smooth, fast and true. Best public greens I’ve played on in a while. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Food was even better than your typical golf course fare.
