Great course

Blackbrook was in great condition for fall golf. The fairways were cut short and the greens had speed. The maintenance crew did a fabulous job keeping up with the leaves, unfortunately as soon as they were done blowing the course was covered again. The city of Mentor has put a lot of money into course improvements and it shows. Will definitely play again.

My new favorite

I try to play many different courses during the season. This was my second time playing this course and with many courses closer to me, this one is certainly worth the 35 minute drive. It’s in great shape and the staff is accommodating and friendly.

Staff

Idk who the gentleman at the register was, he wears glasses and is an older man but every time he's there I cringe at paying for my tee time because he seems annoyed. Only reason I still play is because it's a fun course, affordable, and close to home. But the guy in glasses comes off as a jerk

New “circles of death around greens”

They have installed new electronic invisible fences around each green, 50 feet from edges.

This presents a problem for some seniors and handicapped players.

Special carts with flags should be available for these situations.

Pace of Play is horrible here

Took 2 hrs and 35 mins to play 9 holes as a single.
Teed off at 10:15am
Groups in front so slow (possibly a league but this shouldn’t happen on a Friday)

Staff was friendly

Highly Disappointed

I am so disappointed in this course. I used to play this course every day 36-45 holes a day years ago. And I come back to see this MONSTER OF A 5G tower on number 10. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO THIS COURSE???? This course used to be BEAUTIFUL. But now? I have to see this eyesore on number 10, 11, 14, 16, and the most amazing hole 18 every time I play now????? Who made this terrible decision? Is the money you are getting worth it? These towers emit RADIATION. They are microwaves. Is the $50,000 a month worth it? Pure greed!!!!!!! These towers are impacting the health of your golfers. Do you not care about them? SHAME ON YOU CITY OF MENTOR!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!
