 Members of BallenIsles Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens find themselves eagerly awaiting the grand re-opening of the South Course. Having been under renovations for the last eight months by designer Rees Jones, this update serves as a new chapter for this prestigious South Florida private club. Rees Jones was the natural choice for BallenIsles. Jones was a natural choice for the project as he is recognized as an industry leader in modernizing older courses while still keeping their authentic attributes that golfers enjoy Jones’ extensive portfolio includes La Jolla Country Club, The Breakers and Waldorf Astoria Golf Club.
The South Course is far more than just 18 holes of golf – it’s a respected part of BallenIsles’ history, where legendary players and designers have left their mark. In 1964 Dick Wilson completed the original design which was less than championship standards. In 1969, the course underwent a renovation by Joe Lee, increasing its hole count to 18 and expanding its playability.
Far from erasing Wilson’s and Lee’s impact, Jones’ aimed to enhance the South Course. “Few country clubs offer their Members such a historic connection to golf and we definitely wanted to remain true to the rich legacy of BallenIsles,” Jones told Executive Golfer. “The original layout provided ample playing corridors to build a thought-provoking course. My remodel will have an ebb and flow throughout the round, and I believe the members are going to enjoy the changes.” Furthermore, the course will maintain its classic design, yet new tees will be added to provide a shorter course option as well. A new irrigation system and cart trails serve to help make traversing the course more convenient.
At BallenIsles, golf is far more than just a game, it’s a mental challenge, a dynamic exercise routine, a social event, and the centerpiece of the Club’s history. Members enjoy the added benefits of a top team on-site golf professionals, double-sided driving ranges, chipping and putting greens, and a fully stocked Pro Shop that has the latest golf apparel, equipment and accessories.
