As you arrive home to BallenIsles, you traverse through a beautiful setting of shimmering fountains, lush landscaping, and towering banyan trees -- and that’s before you ever reach the 24-hour manned gatehouse. It’s easy to see why residents of BallenIsles feel like they’re living in a tropical paradise. Every day offers a new adventure at this private Palm Beach Gardens country club, and Members cherish the memories created. Whether it’s early morning on the golf course, sunset cocktails overlooking the lake, or an evening tennis match with friends, there’s always something going on. Let’s see how a typical BallenIsles Member might spend their weekend.

A Morning Stroll Through Nature’s Beauty
As the sun rises and Members begin their day, the area’s unequaled charm inspires many to take a morning walk around the neighborhood. With so much natural beauty to enjoy, BallenIsles has also devoted 21 acres of its land to two distinct parks. The Fitness Park is a favored choice for a morning workout, where Members can exercise along the one-mile fitness trail, stroll through the butterfly garden, or just sit in the gazebo to enjoy the peacefulness this park provides.

Plentiful Group Classes to Enjoy
For those who prefer indoor exercise, the 65,000-square-foot Sports Complex offers plenty of room to restore, revive, and rejuvenate. From strength and cardiovascular equipment to aerobics and Pilates, BallenIsles always ensure Members have access to the best equipment available. Professional trainers are available for one-on-one training sessions, or to suggest which of the 42 weekly classes would help them meet their fitness goals.

Breakfast at BallenIsles Grille
After getting their hearts pumping with a morning workout, the BallenIsles Grille (also called the B.I.G. by residents) is a favored spot for weekend breakfast. The B.I.G.’s extensive a la carte breakfast menu is sure to get everyone energized for the day ahead, with omelets, pancakes, breakfast wraps, sandwiches, and more. The adjacent Rendezvous Room is also a gathering spot for Bagels and Papers every weekend.

A Morning on the Fairways
Following a re-energizing breakfast, many Members meet up with friends and neighbors to tee off on one of BallenIsles’ three championship golf courses. Today, the group decided to tackle the South Course, which was redesigned by legendary golf course architect Rees Jones in 2020. Considered to be many Members’ favorite course, the South course’s five sets of tees create a challenging yet fair layout that fully rewards strategy and accuracy.

Hitting the Courts for Tennis or Pickleball
For those who prefer to unleash their competitive side, the racquet facilities’ 20 Har-Tru clay tennis courts and nine pickleball courts are always filled with lessons, clinics, and events for players of all skill levels. A full team of professional staff and former world-ranked players lead year-round exhibitions, club tournaments, and clinics for avid players and novices alike. BallenIsles even has an excellent Junior Development Tennis Program that the grandchildren love to attend while on holiday breaks.

Casual Yet Creative Lunch Specialties
After a pleasant morning of staying active in the Florida sunshine, residents meet up at Bistro 105 for a relaxing lunch. From fresh salads to seafood favorites, Bistro 105 embraces creative and seasonal a la carte dishes in a casual dining experience. Whether they choose to eat inside or dine al fresco on the covered patio, Bistro 105 evokes a feeling of relaxation for all.

Friendly Competition at the Clubhouse
After enjoying a meal at Bistro 105, the expansive card rooms invite Members to compete in their favorite card game. Whether it’s Canasta, Mah Jong, Bridge, or something new, the Clubhouse is always filled with laughter as residents enjoy both relaxed classes and competitive tournaments.

Relax and Unwind
Later on, Members head to the resort-style swimming pool for a relaxing, aquatic twist on their day. Skinny Palm’s Happy Hour is a favored event, where Members can enjoy tropical libations while relaxing in the shade of palm trees. The grandchildren love the children’s pool and play area and even have an inside play area with computers and video games for those rainy days. Or, for a true pampering experience, the BallenIsles Spa & Salon allow Members to take their worries and put them into the deepest recesses of the mind. Staffed by Cosmo & Company, the spa rivals the world-class spas of European resorts, with a full range of services including deep-tissue massages, rejuvenating facials, manicures and pedicures, and styling services.

Dinner with Classic American Favorites
As the crown jewel of BallenIsles’ dining venues, ending the day with dinner at Circle 100 is a no-brainer for many BallenIsles Members. Circle 100 couples classic American favorites with specially selected regional cuisines, ensuring every member of the family can enjoy a delicious meal. Evening dinners offer a mix of á la carte favorites and rotating live-action stations featuring everything from lamb chops to prime rib to sushi. Best of all, floor-to-ceiling windows overlook one of the Club’s championship golf courses to provide a scenic view to watch the sunset.

An Enviable Palm Beach Gardens Lifestyle
No matter how families choose to spend their day, Members at BallenIsles Country Club enjoy the benefit of living in one of the country’s most sought-after destinations. With a premier location in Palm Beach Gardens, Members also have access to a vibrant range of activities, entertainment, world-class dining, shopping, and more just minutes away along PGA Boulevard. Additionally, residents are only a short 10-minute drive to the area’s world-renowned beaches and a 15-minute drive to the Palm Beach International Airport.

The best part of BallenIsles, however, is the ability to call this private community home. Made up of nearly 1,600 residences, 33 intimate neighborhoods are each characterized by their own unique identity of golf villas, luxury condominiums, elegant estate homes, and more.
