Ballyneal Golf Club aspires to maintain a specific ideal: a private, authentic North American, inland links golf experience.

An expression of the land, the game and the player.

Ballyneal was first and foremost a vision of young, local golf enthusiast, Jim O’Neal. Jim recognized the swath of sand dunes just south of Holyoke that the locals call the “chop hills” as being reminiscent of the dunes in faraway Ireland and Scotland where golf was born.
