Balboa Municipal Golf Course is a short-length golf course with narrow tree-lined fairways. Balboa provides a real challenge for mid to high handicap golfers. Balboa was designed by William P. Bell & Sons and opened in 1954 as the Sepulveda North Course. Balboa Municipal Golf Course is part of a 36-hole Sepulveda Dam Recreation Area complex along with Encino Municipal Golf Course. The charming tree lined golf course was lengthened by Steve Timm in 2008.
