The grand opening set for December 11, 2013 will unveil a more than $5 million redesign by golf course Architect Kipp Schulties that will deliver 18 holes of golf that are challenging and rewarding to all handicap levels, against the pristine backdrop that is BallenIsles. It includes a short (executive) course that can be played quickly, answering the increasing demand for a shorter game where Members can play a full game and still be in time for other commitments.
Whether it’s the $9 million redesigned East Course by award winning golf course architect Keith Foster, the South Course, redesigned by Gene Bates, or the North Course, originally designed by Joe Lee and now newly redesigned by Kipp Schulties, members enjoy the exceptional choice of playing at three distinct courses at BallenIsles. Each is rich with history of championships by Jack Nicklaus and Julius Boros, and where many golf legends like Arnold Palmer originally qualified for the PGA Tour.
BallenIsles has also heralded a new standard of wellness and fitness with its $26 million state-of-the-art Sports Complex that is testimony to the Club’s extraordinary commitment to a healthy member lifestyle. Out of nearly 200 Clubs managed worldwide by Troon Golf, BallenIsles has been awarded the distinction “Facility of the Year.”
