Balfour Golf Course Winter Recreation

Winter recreation is an extremely popular activity in our region and has been a regular occurrence on our golf course property for years.  With liability coverage coming into question during the 2021/22 winter season, we're happy to say that we've been able to square things away in this regard and can resume encouraging use of our golf course lands for winter recreation activities.  Allowable winter recreation activities include Cross Country Skiing, Snow Shoeing, Walking and Tobogganing <==> (minors age 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult).  Ice Skating on our ponds is STRICTLY PROHIBITED and appropriate signage has been introduced to that effect.

It is our goal to see the golf course property become a destination for winter recreation that sees consistent use and maybe one day even hosts organized activities.  The best way to help make this happen will be through your show of support with purchase of your annual Balfour Recreation Commission Membership.

One final note regarding winter recreation at the golf course and the parking situation.  Moving forward we are asking that there no longer be vehicle parking on Queens Bay Rd. at the head of our driveway.  There have been several instances in recent years where this parking area over flowed onto both sides of Queens Bay Rd. and created more congestion than necessary.  Instead, we would like to see our nicely plowed parking lot up by the club house become the hub for Winter Recreation activities.  For those only interested in walking the Queens Bay Trail, please use the parking area at the Balfour Cemetery as your starting point moving forward.
