About
This slightly undulating medium length golf course is west of Aberdeen situated in one of the most beautiful parts of upper Deeside. It was founded in 1892 as a nine hole test on land owned by the Laird of Invercauld. When farmland became available in 1905 the course was expanded to 18 holes, providing an exacting challenge in idyllic surroundings. The town and its golf course lie within a circle of hills, providing glorious views and the River Dee runs alongside several of the holes, as it meanders its way down to Aberdeen.

Great value for money.
We played this course 3 times this week during very favourable weather conditions. As the week went on the greens improved quite a bit and by Friday they were playing very well. We booked through Golf Now and managed to get a round for £14.99 each absolute steal.....worth every penny. Well done to the greenkeepers and all the staff for all the hard work.
Great course
Great course. Gets better after the 3rd as I found the footgolf confusing being a first timer. Would be better if the footgolf were different colours signage from 3rd to 4th and 6th to 7th could be better but lovely course
Ball star golf course
Beautiful course in good condition for November. Good golfing test with some spectacular holes.
Good winter golf
Played Ballater , full greens and tees last weekend in October, great value for money !
Great course with fantastic catering
Great golf course in wonderful condition, and fantastic catering.
Beauty in Ballter
Lovely course, with cracking views of the hills around the river Dee. A few tricky par 3's that require a long and accurate shot that keep you on your toes. Highlight was the 18th over the burn and back towards the clubhouse!
Easy walking course in super condition, we had a couple of very heavy showers on back 9 but it never spoiled the experience . Will definitely return sometime
Enjoyable round
We were unfortunate to be behind a large party so play was slow. Luckily during a dry spell of weather so course in good condition.
Ballater
Course excellent, golf pro very nice and helpful, friendly locals. Only one thing to let the day down was the bar person, she needs a customer care course. Not the restaurant staff which were excellent.
2nd time
The days weather was stunning at around 26 degrees. The course was in excellent condition especially the greens. Play was painfully slow but the weather helped. The staff were very friendly and helpful, all in all we had a very nice day out with a meal in the clubhouse after the golf. Would very much recommend Ballater Golf Club for a day out 👍
Course was in great condition for this time of year well laid out to follow round I think it would be a great course for an outinhy
