We ate lunch at Boarding House Market Place located at the top of the hill with exceptional views, great food and the owners were so friendly. A must place to eat!

Golf course was pure and very challenging. Staff was very welcoming!

Such an amazing place! If you haven't already been here, put it on the list now! This may possibly be one of the best Mountain courses I've ever seen. From the Clubhouse to the course it's top notch. Be ready for a treat. I recommend highly playing this course during the color change in Fall. Every hole has a view and makes for a mindblowing experience.

Really sweet course and in great condition. Elevation changes are unbelievable. If you play here, make sure to bring a range finder with slope adjustment. Also make sure to bring a camera, the views are just outstanding.

AMAZING GOLF COURSE This is one of the most epic courses you'll ever play. If you're fortunate enough to get the chance to play it (it's private) I highly recommend it. Each hole is more beautiful than the next. I just played it on May 3, 2018, and the fairways were like carpet, but the greens weren't really ready for play yet. The season in the mountains usually starts on May 1st, but not every course is ready to go that early. Balsam needs another 2-3 weeks before it's prime.
