Early season maintenance

Early season maintenance on greens.

Some are being broadened, so 1 to 4 feet of "green" is really just mowed down fairway.

Greens are fast, I'm used to Balmoral having some of the truest greens in the South Suburbs, so I'll wait another 6+ weeks to shoot again, until maintenance and grass is done.

Overall course was in above average condition.

Hope New Ownership Invests

I love the layout of this course. Really challenging old school course that makes you shape some shots. Fantastic weather today. Course was dry and the greens ran fast.

The course could be better condition though. The greens would be beautiful if they were re-seeded.

Always fun and always a challenge

I really like Balmoral Woods because it is a challenging layout, but fair. If you hit good shots you can score.

Not impressed

Heard good things about the course but didn’t live up to the hype. With a 1 hour wait to tee due to frost, staff did not prepare properly when scheduling tee times. Poorly done and so am I with this course.

Good course

Unfortunately, I didn't get to play today. They had over an hour delay because of frost. They should have changed available tee times to later hours, now that the weather is getting cooler. I don't believe I would have finished before it got dark.

Great layout and good test for the intermediate golfer.

Always enjoy the trip out to play Balmoral. We had a nice day in October to play a good round of fall golf.
