As the crystal waters of Kootenay Lake roll onto the sandy shores below
the Balfour Golf Course - and the nearby peaks glisten against the steel-blue sky - a
common thought is: "does it get any better than this?" The short
answer: no.
The Balfour Golf Course is a fantastic Les Furber creation that's cut
through huge fir trees near the shores of Kootenay Lake. Opening in the spring of
2003 will be a gorgeous new clubhouse. The course has also added two new tees - and
300 yards in length - to a course that is already considering one of BC's unsung
heroes.
The superb par-five 17th, which aims golfers straight to the
shimmering lake, is part of a climactic three-hole stretch to close
the round. "The finish is always something golfers look
forward to," says Head Pro Matt Shaw. "But the entire course is one big
photo-op."
Visitors to Balfour can enjoy a host of
recreational opportunities and attractions found nearby including the soothing waters of
Ainsworth Hot Springs and historic Nelson.
