About Hot Springs Village, Arkansas

Designed by Ault, Clark & Associates, Balboa Golf Club has been recognized among the state’s top ten layouts and is considered a favorite by residents. Balboa is a walker-friendly course with wider fairways and fewer elevation changes than other Village courses. The combination of water hazards and bunkers requires a strategic plan to save par, and it has quite a collection of tricky par 3s.
