Ballindalloch Castle Golf Course update - 29th Apr 2004

The 2004 Season:

Although some intrepid players have been in evidence over the Winter (we operate an honesty box system) the numbers have only started to build up over April. We have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of players who have come to enjoy the Course this month and hope that the trend will continue.

The Course is looking first class, with Craig and Muir putting in all the hard work to make the golfing experience second to none. The greens are still being kept well grassed to allow them more time to bed in and this will continue through the 2004 season. However, they are true and anything but flat or easy, regardless of the speed – a Donald Steel trademark.

Country and Overseas membership:

We have taken the decision to offer to visitors and others a choice of two special membership categories, Country Memberships and Overseas Memberships.
