Balaia Golf Course
Balaia Golf Course is a true test of any golf course measured by requiring a player’s ability to control shot length and direction. This 9-hole par-3 course optimises these demands. The ability to hit crisp approach shots and to pitch and putt well are the secrets of good scoring on this very attractive and manicured course. Both the Golf Course and the Driving-range are open to golfers of all ages. Opening times in the winter season are from 8 am to 6pm. During the rest of the year, the course is open from 7.30 am to 8 pm. On Wednesdays there is an 18 Hole Friendly Competition open to all golfers.

Lovely little par 3 course, tees moved a little close at the moment, maybe because of a competition today?

Challenging par 3 course. Pine trees, water, bunkers, decent greens. A tight course and a good test of the short game

A very nice par 3 golfcourse. People are very friendly. The course is not easy with many trees and rough. The fairways are narrow. Good for your shortplay.

Great little course to practice your short game a few tough holes where accuracy is key, rough very unforgiving but had a great laugh and the pint in the clubhouse was well deserved, would play again, just a note that it's not very long so don't expect a long game but still definitely worth a visit

We've stayed at Balaia 7 or 8 times previously and like to use the practice facilities, plus the course is a good test or iron/wedge skills, however this time we found the driving range was almost unusable, partially closed and the rest had no grass, the range balls were disgusting, absolutely filthy and ancient, the greens were in awful condition, everything really looked like it was going down hill. Also the etiquette of some of the guests was dreadful. Additionally the service at the club house was awful, one day we actually walked away after having waited over quarter of an hour to be served, with no other clients in there.

Poor...long wait all the way around and price was expensive for what was basically a pitch and putt course

Very nice course, though a little crowded at the time I tee'd off (1300).
Much trickier than the par 54 suggests.
Clubs hired at the club could be of a better standard and better maintained.

Truly wonderful golf course, excellent customer service, facilities, and comfort zone. Some truly awesome holes, the greens were exceptional. And only a five minute walk from our holiday accommodation at Balaia holiday village.

Small interesting golf, but too expensive for a P & P. The number of practice balls in the dispenser is too small ..... For the price!

Some very interesting holes, which challenge your short game.
During the round, I realised I had left my golf bag open and discovered my wallet was missing. However my panic was short lived, as when returning to the clubhouse I discovered a fellow player had found my wallet and returned it with all its contents to the bar. My sincere thanks to a very honest individual as it allowed us to continue our holiday,without any disruption and inconvenience
