The game of golf is not a new tradition in Balfron. There had been a nine-hole course at the top of the village for many years until, in 1939, Balfron Golf Club was dissolved and the land given up for agricultural use during the 2nd World War. Locals, however, wanted their course back and duly got their wish in 1994.

Robin Hiseman, the respected Scottish golf architect, recreated the course from its original nine-hole layout and the result is a great country course that's playable by all. There are inspiring views of the local countryside, eerily reminiscent of playing golf in the Scottish highlands.
