Weather was perfect. The course itself was very poor shape except for the greens which are in wonderful shape. As good as Rustic Canyon greens, but softer. The greens were taking all sorts of shots... Continue »

Played (I guess you could call it that) as a rabbit alone this morning... a little chilly to start, but it turned into a great breezy, fall day.

Balboa is in pretty nice shape. I could still see t... Continue »

The greens were the best I've ever seen them here! The fairways were "typical", but playable. Always fun to play at Balboa when the greens are good and the round is less than 4 hours!

Played on 11/2. Greens were slow and soft, but in good shape for an LA Muni. Numerous bare spots on the fairways made some shots difficult. Rough was in decent shape and the sand condition in bunkers ... Continue »

Pretty good course, would like to see the tee boxes worked on... Also, watering the greens during the day makes them entirely too soft

Balboa was actually in decent shape. Greens were soft and on the slow side but rolled pretty true. Fairways were pretty thin and the kikuyu long in some areas. Although this course is fairly short ... Continue »
