A quick drive from the shores of Georgian Bay, Balm Beach Golf Club punches above its weight as a relaxed, locals-favorite nine-holer with a loyal following. If you're in Tiny Township for the weekend and want a casual loop between beach hangs, this is the move. The charm here is simplicity: tree-lined fairways, welcoming greens, and just enough movement to keep you on your toes without turning family golf into a grind. What makes Balm Beach different is how it fits into vacation life. Tee it up early and you'll be back for brunch; sneak out late and you'll catch that golden-hour light that makes even a bogey feel cinematic. There's a practice area to shake off the rust, and the staff are the kind of friendly that remembers faces. It's not built to be a championship test - and that's the point. It's fun golf, the way most of us actually play. For beginners, juniors, or anyone rediscovering the game, the routing is forgiving enough to build confidence. For better players, it's a great chance to sharpen wedge yardages, dial the putter, and chase a personal best. Add in the proximity to the water and you've got a recipe for the kind of day you'll want to repeat on your next trip north.
