Golf in Balsam Lake

Balsam Lake is a village in Polk County, set on the lake of the same name in the lake-rich country of northwestern Wisconsin. As the Polk County seat, it anchors a region dotted with glacial lakes between the St. Croix River and the Northwoods. The lake draws anglers, boaters, and summer residents, giving the village a seasonal resort character within easy reach of the Twin Cities. The surrounding landscape blends woods, water, and the farmland that has long defined Polk County. Balsam Lake sits along the corridor linking the river valley communities to the deeper forests north and east. Golfers in the area find recreational courses set among the lakes and timber typical of this part of the state. With the St. Croix valley nearby and the lake country spreading in every direction, Balsam Lake offers a quiet base for golf in northwestern Wisconsin's vacation country.
