Ballantrae Golf Club - Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario

Very beautiful golf course, comfortable environment, and good service attitude of the staff. The only drawback is that you can't pick up the car first and then pick up the golf bag. As a lady, it is a bit difficult to carry the golf bag from the parking lot to the teeing point. Everything else is very satisfactory!

Probably my favourite course within 30 minutes of York Region.

The pace of play is consistently great — the marshals do a fantastic job keeping things moving smoothly. Course conditions are excellent: wide fairways, well-maintained grounds, and greens that are both quick and challenging.

It can be tough to snag a tee time, but whenever a spot opens up, my group always chooses Ballantrae. The value is also great — green fees are fair and include a complimentary small bucket of range balls to warm up.

Bonus: one of my all-time favourite scenic views from a tee box is here (see photo/video).

Highly recommend to golfers of all levels looking for a well-run and beautifully kept course.

Ballantrae's fairways are so soft and well maintained. Your irons will go through the grass like a hot knife in butter. In terms of difficulty, the fairways are large but the greens can be tough. Elevated, turtle back greens. Nearly all your putts will be sidewinders.

They have a decent driving range. And theres a little robot that goes around the course cutting the grass!(see pics) Thanks lil guy!

20250907 816 tee time. Forgot to mention the fact that you have 4 hours to play before 10am is an Excellent idea. Other golf courses should do the same thing. It eliminated slow play for weekend play!!!

Beside that, it's one of the best public golf courses, period. Always in Excellent condition. Friendly service!

I've played many courses, and this place is the best among public courses. The price is great as well. The fairways are well-maintained like carpet, and the greens are so fast. All the staff are extremely nice. Highly recommend.

Great golf course with good warm up facilities that many lack (range grass/mat tees, putting, chipping including sand bunker). Great conditions on course - fast and elevated greens and wide fairways. Marshals are a bit over aggressive but I get that is their job.

By far the worst golfing experience I’ve had in 7 years. I’ve played at many courses and never dealt with such poor service and lack of accountability.

Our tee time was at 4:30. The course was completely backed up because the 4 groups in front of us were extremely slow. They dragged the game out, only played 9 holes, and clearly didn’t care that the sun was going down. The marshal on duty was kind and tried to help, but unfortunately, the front desk staff had a terrible attitude and zero professionalism.

We didn’t reach the 9th hole until 6:50, which says everything about how badly the pace of play was being managed..By the time the slow groups cleared off after 9 holes, we went directly to the clubhouse to explain that we couldn’t finish our round. Instead of offering a solution, the front desk staff were condescending and dismissive. They told us they “can’t do anything about it” and even claimed they only guarantee 7 holes during twilight. That statement makes absolutely no sense, why advertise 18 holes if you can’t manage the course properly or ensure a fair pace of play?

It is not acceptable that paying customers are unable to complete their round because of mismanagement, slow play, and unhelpful staff. I walked away feeling frustrated and disappointed.

I will not be returning, and I strongly advise other golfers to think twice before booking here. There are plenty of courses in the area that value their players’ time and money—unfortunately, Ballantrae is not one of them.

Beautiful view over looking the golf course. Great food and wonderful wait staff.
Only 4 stars because the coffee is very weak. A good espresso machine would be a great addition in my opinion. Otherwise we loved it.
