Great staff and track

Course staff is very friendly and helpful (even though we were a few minutes late for our tee time- not good!). The course was in fantastic shape and the layout is great. I highly recommend getting out to play Balmoral.

The Beast

Add some wind to this course and you have a Beast. Yet, still playable if you can find some fairways. Always a challenge but fun to play. Pace is usually good. Embrace the Beast.

B-Woods

Balmoral is a great course, plenty to offer and challenge. Pace of play can become an issue/frustrating.

Got an email asking me to rate the course not even half way through my round...

I have played here many time as a high schooler, but never has it ever taken me 3.5 hours to finish 9 holes. First impression of new ownership: cram the course, collect the dough and let them wait it out. I would highly recommend staying away at the very least until new ownership can get their act together and get this course managed properly.
