Balmoral Dr., Crete, IL 708-672-7448 Website: balmoralwoods.com Course Rating 72.6 Slope 131 Par 72 Yards 6700 Greens Fee: A little more than average, but they do offer many specials and some website deals. Comments: Balmoral offers a demanding but magnificent round of golf. No matter what tees you decide to play from, Balmoral will be tough. There are several extremely challenging holes, especially number 7. It is a winding par 5 that is a 75 degree dogleg left. Cannot take a short cut because out of bounds is left. An accurate tee shot is a must, because bunkers come into play on the right. A three shot hole to the green no matter how you look at it. The green is severely sloped, you'd be lucky to make par on this hole. Clubhouse is a good place to sit and have a meal or drink. Parking is adequate, a bigger lot is needed for outings, lot is unpaved. Driving range is available, but you must take your automobile and drive to it. Balmoral Woods is very well taken care of, the greens are fast, and the fairways, are narrow. Not a lot of water, but plenty of trees and OB. You need to bring either one of two things to this course. Either your A game, or a lot of balls!!
