Ballantrae Golf Club

The food at Fireside Grill is worth the drive up the hill to Ballantrae. The view is amazing out the wall of windows overlooking the fairway and the patio. If you work remote, it is a wonderful place to take your computer, grab lunch, and work with a phenomenal view. Best secondary office location around!

This golf course is approximately 15 minutes off. I 65. If you’re driving anywhere close to Pelham, Alabama do yourself a favor and stop by. You will not be disappointing . You’d be hard-pressed to find a better golf course for the price they charged. (Approximate $50). It was wonderful experience. From the Teebox to the greens everything well-maintained, and then excellent condition. I’ve spent a lot of money over the years playing expensive and shoddily maintained golf courses around the US, this, by far is one of the most scenic and beautiful courses I’ve played in Alabama. What a great experience. Can’t wait to come back.

Course is usually in good condition. Greens are quick. Several of the greens have unique designs; #s 2, 4, 7, 8,9, 11,12, 14,16 in particular. Hole #2's green is very tough, because of it birdies can be scarce on this 90 degree dogleg par 5. #11 was changed from a great par 5 into an ugly par 4 in my opinion. Prepare yourself for adversity when you tee it up on the extremely difficult par 3 14th hole. A huge bunker sits on the left side of the green. The green itself gas a huge mound in the middle of it. Did I forget to tell you be aware of the water lurking to the right. And the green slopes in that direction? Yes, bogey is a good score here. Be prepared for a fairly slow round on weekends as a dual #1, #10 tee off is used until around 9:30am.
