Balaton Bay Golf Course
About Balaton Bay Golf Course
Balaton Bay Golf Course is a par-3 executive layout in southwest Minnesota, offering a shorter round that still asks for accurate iron play.
A full-service clubhouse supports play, with merchandise, snacks and beverages available, as well as take-out meals delivered from a nearby local eatery.
Adjacent to the area, the Balaton Area Community Foundation has built a disc golf course on the land around the softball complex and the former football field at the west edge of Balaton. Both the golf course and the disc golf course are open to area residents and visitors during the spring, summer and fall.
