Bala Golf Club - Short and Sweet "The ardent golfer would play Mount Everest if somebody put a flagstick on top." - Pete Dye (Played on May 28th, 2019) Bala Golf Club Founded over 115 years ago and only a short drive from downtown Philadelphia, Bala Golf Club, simply put, is not your typical private golf course. It plays to a par 68. Most of the par fours are relatively short (under 400 yards), the longest of its 5 par threes is less than 200 yards from the tips, and it only has one par five. The best part about the course is that it does not need length to make it difficult. The difficulty lies in the ultra-tiny greens, deep bunkers, and small fairways. The opening tee shot, practically in the parking lot. Although the course is private, we were lucky enough to charm our way inside with a certificate one of us won at a basket auction. After much planning, we were finally able to find a day where we all were free to play and made the short-trek over to Bal
