 For the second year in a row, BallenIsles Country Club has been honored by Golf Inc. Magazine with a Golden Fork Award. BallenIsles in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida is the winner and the first recipient of the Golden Fork Award’s newest category- Best Food Programming. This renown private club also placed third in 2022 in the Food & Beverage Reinvention in Response to the Pandemic category. From internationally inspired culinary events to poolside happy hours, Members agree that BallenIsles’ social gatherings are the core pulse of this private club community. See what made its programming stand out from the competition.
What Are the Golden Fork Awards?
Hosted by Golf Inc. Magazine, the annual Golden Fork Awards recognizes the best new and renovated food & beverage facilities at golf clubs around the world. Both private and public golf clubs can submit entry for one of the three categories: new food & beverage facility, remodeled food & beverage facility, and food programming. Each entry is judged blindly based on a combination of factors, including venue aesthetics, service, menus, planning, and overall revenue. Winners are featured in the March/ April 2023 edition of Golf Inc. Magazine.
BallenIsles Wins Best Food Programming
While each of BallenIsles’ six dining venues provide a robust calendar of social events, the Club focused their submission on Evolution. A departure from traditional fine dining and a new series of social events have quickly transformed Evolution into Members’ favorite eatery. The newly added Small Plates offers shareable cuisines featuring handcrafted flavors by a team of renowned Chefs. Evolution also introduced Monthly Wine Cellar Dinners, featuring flights of wine paired with a five-course dinner from highly coveted wineries. A BYOB Cellar Dinner Series was also added to the growing event calendar, where Members are invited to bring their own special bottle to pair with the Chef’s menu. These events have not only become permanent additions to the Club’s social calendar, but also have increased overall attendance to all of BallenIsles’ restaurants.
Culinary Experiences to Please Every Palate
Since the completion of BallenIsles’ $35 million Clubhouse renovation in 2018, Members have enjoyed a variety of expanded dining options for every palate and occasion. Circle 100 offers classic American favorites couples with select regional cuisines in a bountiful lunch or dinner buffet. With 18 T.V.s, The BallenIsles Grille (also called The B.I.G.) is the best spot to watch the latest sports game, with casual bites including burgers, salads, pizzas, ribs, and more. Located in the heart of the Clubhouse, Harry’s Lounge celebrates the Club’s storied history with light bites, handcrafted cocktails, and unique deserts. Bistro 105 provides a casual experience focused on creative and seasonal dishes, providing everything from fresh salad lunches to al fresco pasta dinners. Finally, The Cabana is a poolside bar serving smoothies, juices, and coffee in the morning, and refreshing tropical drinks in the afternoon.
A Palm Beach Private Club with an Unparalleled Lifestyle
Whether enjoying the 21 tennis courts or nine pickleball courts, socializing on one of the three championship golf courses, staying fit within the Sports Complex, or relaxing at the resort-style swimming pool, members at BallenIsles Country Club enjoy the luxurious lifestyle they lead. However, the biggest asset of BallenIsles is the residents who call this private community their 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.
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.
