Hidden Gem
Tee times don't often show up but when they do, we try to grab it while we can. Even though this is a real estate development, it's not like most where it feels like they plunked a golf course within a housing complex or crowded a course by putting up houses everywhere. This is actually a very nice course that plays well and you only feel like you're in a housing development on a few occasions.
We played on a very cold and wet day so the round was lightning quick (no one ahead of us). Even in such wet and cold Fall conditions, the course was in fantastic shape with greens still true and fast.
We actually don't want to write this review or tell anyone about this because getting on is hard enough!

very good condition especially fairway with no good water drainage. friendly staff and good pace
Just played in cold rainly afternoon. Fairway condition is very good and not wet at all. Green is not aerated even during end of season. Very good pace and finished less than 4 hours (may be due to weather condition)

Quality Carrick course in the GTA.
Carrick has designed Eagles Nest, Angus Glen,& Copper Creek in the GTA. Ballantrae is half the price.The course is challenging with Carrick's signature bunkering, and greens that are like inverted ceramic bowls.The back nine is more challenging than the front and more enjoyable especially 11&12.The club house has a decent restaurant and bar overlooking the 18 th green and its large water hazard.

The course is very quiet and well managed.
This course has wide fairway and well managed green. Above all, they kept fairway condition very well. Bunkers around green might give players a little challenge. Course encourage the players to keep the course nice, and respect other players.

Fair Course
I enjoy playing this course because it offers a fair test for the average golfer. It is a fun course to play because you can miss fairways but still play the ball. Fairways are generous and the greens are tough but fair. The food is excellent. Ballantrae offers one of the best golf courses and food experiences at a reasonable price. It is also always in excellent condition. I have played here many times and I have not had a negative experience.

1st time out. Look forward to playing here again
Got hung-out on a couple holes for lack of local knowledge. Beautiful design, can't wait to get back. Awesome deal for this caliber of course.
