Balboa w

This course was worth the money. Even though a ladies league was in front of us it never really affected our threesome. Pleasantly surprised. Less than 4 hour round. Fairways and rough grass still dormant but still played well

Fun track

Course is a fun & challenging layout. It was in better shape than I thought it would be due to time of year and recent rains. I’m looking forward to playing this course again.

Wet weather
Used cart

Rain soaked and muddy.

It rained a day or 2 before we played the course, water stood in places. Walking out from cart path only spot I left footprints in the fairway. Drives were like wedge shots sinking in the mud. The greens were really bumpy from footprints, it did not appear the greens could be mowed because it was so soft. Make sure if you are a guest golfer to go to Dakota drive, that is the ONLY gate to get in the other gates need a pass to scan. Lots of tees and it could be a nice course to play when it is dry. Would I play again, no. Twenty two miles took 48 minutes to get to the course.

Good Course/Slow Play

This was probably the slowest 18 holes that I have ever played. I was a single playing behind a twosome that were the SLOWEST players i have ever seen. They could not walk any slower from the cart to their ball, and then putting was really slow. I like to play a little on the slow side and take more practice swings when I play by myself but I had to wait at least 10-12 minutes on every hole. I usually play 18 by myself in 2-1/2 hours but this round took me 5 hours to play.

Awesome Course

Had not played any of the Billage course in 10-12 years. Decided to start again with Balboa and am glad I did. Staff was EXTREMELY nice and went out of their way to be sure we were well taken care of. The course was in Fabulous condition as were the greens. Great time and we’ll be back.

Great course

Overall a very nice course. Front 9 is tight but short holes while the back is long and wide. Lots of variation between uphill and downhill. Sand was in good condition. Boxes looked great. The only thing I don't like is the location. It's inside HSV, which is a retirement community so you have to go thru a gate that's super inconvenient to the course and there are no businesses close by (bars, restaurants, etc.). That's not a knock on the course though, so not a big deal as long as you aren't going to the course with the sole intention of getting food.

Nice layout

Challenging but greens were way to soft even though there hasn't been rain. Pro shop lady was clueless and charged me fees and taxes even though I showed her I was I VIP and my confirmation she still charged me the fees. Nice course even so.
