Course is in the best shape I've seen it. Greens actually had a little speed in them). I hope they keep up the good work. Well worth the twilight rate ($17 after noon Mon-Thurs.)

Played 7/3 @ 1:00. Let's just say I'm done playing this course. Conditions are bad. Greens are not true by any means. Fairways look like a calico bass. Rough is inconsistent. In the past I have defending the course but not anymore. Oh and they raised the rates ($29 to walk). There are much better courses at or around that rate in SD. Farewell Balby...farewell!

Played 6/17/08 @ 2:30. Course is in decent shape. The rough in some spots is really tough. Greens rolled pretty good. Fairways are tightly mowed. All in all not overly bad conditions for a Muni.

Played 6/15/08. I'm sorry to say but I was disappointed. Carlton use to be one of the finest tracks in SD. Not any more. Greens were bumpy, tees were hacked up, & the fairways had little thatch. Its too bad. The course is way over priced ($80 on the weekends). Hopefully someone buys the course & gets it back into the kinda shape it use to be in. If you're looking for a nice course try Salt Creek. Great greens!

Played 6/7/08. Cow pasture? I beg to differ. I've played Balby for many years now its unfair to give it such a bad review. O.K. its not in U.S. Open condition like Torrey but its very playable. Greens are a bit inconsistent (some fast some slow) but its in pretty good shape for a MUNI! Fairways are decent, tees are Muni style. Rough is thick in spots. Balbly has always had irrigation problem in certain spots.

Played 5/31 @ 2:00. Finished @ 7:00 (long round). Course is in good shape. Greens are pretty good right now for Balboa. I hope they continue to improve on the conditions. Rough is challenging to say the least. I didn't hit many fairways which took it toll on my score. I'll definately be back some for some more punishment. I own the course one. Its worth the money right now.

Played @ 1:00 in rainy/drizzly conditions. Course is in good shape. Greens are very healthy. I couldn't believe how fast/true they were for a cold, rainy, windy day. The landing areas were thin which was a drag but no other complaints.

Played in a tourney @ 1:00. Played Meadow/Canyon rotation. Course is in GOOD shape. Greens are rock hard but true. Hard for a low ball striker like myself to get the ball close. Anywho, it was a good day. Steele Canyon is FUN GOLF!

Played @ 11:30 on Mother's Day. WINDY...the course is in typical muni shape. Greens rolled O.K. (bumpy of course). Fairways were healthy for the most part. Rough can be thick in some spots. For $21 I'm not complaining. Its a low end course.

Like jparis said its hard to get a teetime here. My GOOD friend woke up at 5 in the morning & put us on the waiting list. We teed off at 6:45 & finished at 10:30. Greens are still healing from the recent aerification (slow & bumpy) but playable. Course is in good shape otherwise.

Teed off at 10:00. Course is in GOOD shape. But the greens were SLOW. They looked fast but were slow & sticky. I don't really care for the front nine but the back is fun. DEFINATELY not worth $135 on the weekend. I payed $50 & it was worth it.

Teed off @ 1:00. Greens were SLOW, Grainy, & hard as a ROCK! On three ocassions I hit PW to the middle of the green & thye bounced over. I never got the speed down. I enjoyed everything but the greens. The greens need to be punched, watered heavily, & then vertca-cut. Its too bad because I remembered them as being pretty fast. Won't go out of my way to play the course for a while.
