I cant complain about this course at all, the Tee's, Fairways & Greens are immaculate, a credit to the staff !! Some say their are to many hills and blind holes but for me this is what makes it unique. A tough trek on the legs but if you can keep the ball straight, a better player can leave their driver at home as you have to think your way round this course, laying up most holes. I have played many courses in Aberdeen and throughout Scotland but for a municiple course the greens really are a credit to the club, and at £15 per round midweek it proves that with the right calibre of staff and knowledge you dont have to join an overpriced private golf club to play and enjoy golf at a high standard.

A course in fantastic condition compared to it's city rivals. Recomend a round when the wind (hopefully) doesn't blow.

Can't Believe this is Municipal

This is the second time I have played the course, the first was a few years ago. I really cannot believe that this is a municipal course, the greens are exceptionally good, far better than 90% of private courses in England. The course is not for the fainthearted, a lot of blind crests to play over and as it is quite a compact course , there are several pinch-points where you are playing over a crossing fairway so have to wait for it to be clear, this is especially the case on the 15/16/17. The wind can be a real challenge, but the views are spectacular. Well worth a trip and certainly we will be playing it again.

Different Challenge Every Day

Balnagask is a great course, which provides a different challenge every day, depending on the weather.
Always in good condition, with greens in good condition.
Love playing the course.

Great course with Fantastic views

The course has been much busier post lockdown but the condition of the course is still maintained at a very high standard, particularly the greens, so thanks to all of the green keepers.
A hilly course with lots of hidden greens and due to its location there is always wind often significant to factor in to your game. Fantastic views over beach, harbour city and beyond to Deeside.
Couse is usually dry and very clean due to wind and lack of trees.
Definitely worth a visit.
