Course Comments:
Ballston Spa Country Club was established in 1925, during golf's Golden Age of course architecture, when course design icons 
such as Donald Ross and Alistair McKenzie were creating some of America's classic golf layouts.
BSCC is an exemplary parkland design with greens and fairways that typify courses of this age. Playing at a par of 71 for men and 74 for women, it is a golfing experience that will challenge and reward golfers at all skill levels.
