The course is in great shape for having such a strange winter. Greens rolled true and held

Quality course

The course was in good shape. There are a few fairways that need some care, repairing where some dirt patches are. The greens were in good shape, even though they were recently airated. Pace of play was good, finished in 3 hours.

Early in the season

Greens had recently been aerated. They have a little cleanup and maintenance to do but Balmoral is always a great ccourae to play.

Balmoral Spring Play

Nice course but the greens need to be rolled due to all the worm holes and ... We got there early but had to wait for our tee time to go. We will play there again

Good course, good time overall

Overall was a good experience. However, the ranger was following us around a lot. And there were several people out cutting the grass at 11:00 am. Not a good time to cut grass.

Excellent condition after heavy rains

Balmoral is normally always in good shape. We got a lot of rain the night before we played. It was cart paths only. Which was to be expected. The course was wet, not soggy except for 17 fairway. Greens were excellent. Tough course I highly recommend.

Tough Course

This course is difficult and has a lot of character. It is not incredibly long, but there are some very challenging holes. Greens and fairways were in great shape, however the rough had more weeds than I am used to seeing. We got it for a hot deal so our price was very good, but at the standard rate I believe it is slightly overpriced.

Goat ranch

Coir keeps getting worse every year. Sad to see because the layout is great and it’s a challenging course. But it is not well kept by any means.

Well, blow me down!

Always a fun and challenging course. Winds were 20 MPH making scoring tough. Lady at counter told us the green fee was lower than on-line and gave discount. She should get a raise. We'll be back---but probably wait until next season.

Challenging course

This course has numerous holes that challenge your course management skills. Several holes have blind tee shots that can hamper your next shot. The course was in good condition, but there were several areas on the fairways that were in need of repair. Overall, the course was very playable.
