Joe Balander Golf Course
The Joe Balander Golf Course "learning center" opened for play in 2006. The course was designed by Randy Russell
The facility is a 4 hole short course. The Joe Balander Learning Center is a 4 hole golf course with holes that are 156 yards, 200 yards, 103 yard and 83 yards., with rolling terrain and various elevations. The idea was conceived by long time Golf Professional Joe Balander. The intent was to give golfers a place to learn the game in a non threatening environment, and gain the confidence to play on the regulation course. In addition the course offers a place for all levels to work on their mid to short game. There is no pressure when practicing at Joe Balander, practicing your game is what this Austin golf course is meant for. Although there are no long holes here the course still allows you to practice your mid to short game.
