Hot deal is fantastic

Course was in great shape. No one was really out there which was shocking. Greens were excellent outside on 1-2 holes.

Could be a really fun course if kept in better condition

This course has a lot of potential with the layout (outside of the par 3s) but the maintenance was really lacking. We got out there at about 9 AM and the course was absolutely soaked on a beautiful sunny day. Thought that maybe it was just a heavy morning dew, but the staff appeared to be running the sprinklers throughout the entirety of our round and it just didn't really make any sense. The course layout was pretty fun for the most part. My only 2 gripes on that front is that there are a few holes on top of each other and the Par 3s kind of all seemed the same to me and kind of blended together. The clubhouse was also pretty lackluster, but the amenities outside of that were above average.

All in all, I definitely had some fun out on this course but unless it gets into some better condition or the rate drops a little bit, I am not sure I will be back for some time.

Great one to play

Balmoral is a tremendous course to play. Very challenging greens. The greens were a bit slow perhaps due to the hot weather and lack of rain which could have prevented the crew from cutting them closer. Some fairways are difficult to hit because of slope and trees. With all that said, it is a beautiful layout and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a fun challenge. Always look to play it at least once a year.

Challenging course

This course is always a challenge. Weather conditions plays a factor in choosing your clubs for every shot. The greens were in great shape, and the fairways were well manicured.

Cut the grass

My only complaint about the course was that the rough was too high. It took forever to find a golf ball just off the fairway. We were driving in circles looking for balls and finally someone would find it. You walk away to grab a club and if you didn't throw your hat in the spot it was tough to locate again. Otherwise I really like this course. Lay out is fun. Lot of dog legs and some difficult elevation changes. Way more par 5 holes than the average course. 4 par 5's on the front 9. Staff is very friendly. Average cost of a round is great. Halfway house is passed multiple times which is nice. Prices for food and drink are good value. Would definitely recommend playing.
