 Having consistently earned a place among America’s Top 100 Golf Clubs, coupled with a series of accolades from Club + Resort Business and the Best of Palm Beach, BallenIsles Country Club has quite the trophy case of distinctions. Members not only enjoy a storied golf history but also an exceptional lifestyle that has allured families for generations. Yet what truly sets this private golf club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, apart is its unwavering commitment to innovation. Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour of how these innovations and renovations have not just garnered awards but have also become an integral part of the BallenIsles lifestyle.
Championship Golf and World-Class Practice Facilities
BallenIsles’ three championship golf courses have garnered significant recognition, receiving the “Best Golf Course” award from The Palm Beach Post and hosting prestigious events like the South Florida PGA Professional Championship. Each Audubon Certified course has undergone updates within the last decade that improve playability. The South Course, redesigned by Rees Jones in 2020, offers a challenging yet fun experience, rewarding players for their precision. The North Course, revamped by Kipp Schulties in 2013, treats golfers to picturesque views of serene lakes and nature preserves, with an enjoyable layout suitable for all skill levels. The East Course has been the most recent renovation in 2023 by Nicklaus Design, enchanting golfers with its breathtaking wildlife habitat areas teeming with exotic birds. The newly opened 16.5-acre BallenIsles Practice Grounds allow Members to hit every shot they would experience on the course, while the new ‘71 Golf Learning Center provides custom fittings, club repairs, golf instruction, and endless resources to help perfect their swing from one central location.
Innovative Private Health and Wellness Facilities
From health-conscious dining venues to the racquet courts, BallenIsles leads the way with innovative health and fitness facilities. At the heart of it all, the Sports Complex provides over 65,000 square feet of active and engaging programs and amenities designed for healthy living. The Complex includes 9,000 square feet of workout facilities, a dedicated Pilates studio, on-site physical therapy, and a full-service Salon & Spa run by Cosmo & Company. Recognized as the #5 top ranked “Fitness and Wellness Centers” award by Club + Resort Business and as one of America’s Healthiest Clubs, the Sports Complex has just been approved for a new expansion project. The forthcoming renovations include a spacious 3,000 sq. ft. racquets shop, enhanced fitness facilities, and a Member’s Lounge designed for relaxation and socializing. The dining experience at Bistro 105 will be elevated with improved outdoor spaces, while the groundbreaking addition of the Arts Center will allow all BallenIsles Members to immerse themselves in visual and performing arts programs.
Aquatics Center Renovations Unveiled
Along with the Sports Complex, the Aquatics Center is also set to undergo an expansion to accommodate even more users. This tropical retreat already includes a main swimming pool, in-ground hot tub, children’s pool, play area, and a range of other amenities to cater to all Members. The main pool is planned to be expanded to include dedicated lap lanes, while additional pool seating ensures ample spots for relaxation and basking in the sun. The Club Pool and Cabana will be expanded offering light bites and refreshments, while kids can delight in the indoor play area perfect for rainy days. With these upcoming renovations, BallenIsles' pool complex is poised to become an even more delightful and rejuvenating oasis for its esteemed members.
Top-Ranked Club Racquet Programs
For Members who prefer to release their competitive side on the courts, BallenIsles’ racquet facilities have placed fourth for Top Ranked Racquet Facilities nationwide by Club + Resort Business and also received the USTA Outstanding Facility Award in 2022. 30 courts are filled with lessons, clinics, and events for all skill levels, with 20 Har-Tru clay tennis courts including a stadium court that seats up to 500 people, nine pickleball courts, and one hard court. BallenIsles is also well-known for its tennis junior program, producing players that went on to play collegiately for prestigious schools such as Harvard, Florida State, and many others.
Award-Winning Dining Venues
BallenIsles Country Club boasts an array of six dining venues that cater to diverse tastes and occasions. The Club's culinary excellence was recognized with Golf Inc.

The venue stands out for its departure from traditional fine dining, offering a series of social events that have become members' favorites. The Small Plates event features handcrafted flavors by renowned chefs, while Monthly Wine Cellar Dinners offer wine flights paired with five-course dinners from coveted wineries.
