Great Course

It may not be the longest course but you do get to use every club in the bag. Green complexes can be tricky but overall this course provides a fun round for all levels of play

A few quirky holes

Course was in great shape but there are some holes that are a little too quirky for my liking. #10 & #12 are ridiculous uphill tee shots that I could do without. Unless you know where to aim, you could easily hit a good tee shot and lose your ball. If golfnow offers a cheap hotdeal, I'd consider playing there more often otherwise I'd rather go to nearby Metamora or Boulder Pointe

Thank you got2golf36 for your review, we are glad that you enjoyed the course conditions. You are not the first person to say that 10 and 12 arent the most friendly but hopefully you will find them a bit less challenging the next time you play. Hope to see you soon!

Great conditions but hated the design & layout on several holes

Too many blind tee shots and a few greens were too small especially on a couple of the par 3s. Seems outdated for a private club with a really old locker room and a "Water" driving range that wasn't even complimentary which seems odd for a private club. Lastly, if you drive a nice car be prepared to travel on dirty unpaved roads. I will give credit to the grounds crew for providing excellent fairways and greens but the tee boxes needed some work.

The Driving range is complimentary for members and their guests. I don't think most private clubs allow people with internet coupons on their courses.

Good but could be better

Great Arthur Hills design. Course can play long so make sure you play from the proper tees. Many grougs ahead of us were playing from the back tees and often had a longer approach shot than their actual driver distance....made for a long round of golf. Some of the greens had patchy spots of repair or in need of repair.

Good Course

Course conditions were great. Front 9 plays easier than the back 9 which "tightens" up considerably. Not very long even from the back tee but still provides a fun day of golf for all skill levels.

Great Course

This course is very scenic and very challenging. We played after several days of heavy rain and as a result the course played long and wet everywhere except the greens. There are a few multilevel greens that can be annoying especially if you're putting from an upper tier to a lower tier....impossible to stop some putts. Greens rolled fast and true while the overall course conditions and atmosphere resembles that of a private club. I'd recommend this course to my friends especially if you can catch a GolfNow HotDeal.

A Welcomed Surprise!

Apparently current management has resulted in higher quality course conditions compared to the previous staff. In years past, several friends have advised me to not even bother playing this course, but that seems to be a problem of the past. We played during bad weather, with a couple of rain delays and still enjoyed excellent course conditions. If you don't mind looking at "cookie-cutter" houses that are visible from virtually every hole, then this is a must play for SE Michigan residents/visitors.

Back to being "GOOD"

This couse used to be one of the best in the tri-county area, then the course conditions declined. We haven't been back in a couple of years and we were pleasantly suprised at the positive turnarount Glacier is making. Keep up the Trend.

Great course but.....

Normally this course is in great condition from tee to green, but this particular Sunday everything was lush and somewhat overgrown as if they fertilized the entire course and limited the mowing to the bare minimum. The greens were so slow that gauging the speed was next to impossible not only from putt to putt but different from green to green. I'm sure it'll be in tip-top shape before too long. As always their practice facility is the best in the area.

Decent Course

Fun layout with nice rolling greens but don't expect country club like conditions and some of the tee boxes and fairways were pretty shoddy (bare dirt spots, weeds). I can't remember, but one tee box was literally artificial mats. Back in the 90's this course was top-notch but nowadays I'd only play with an extremely low golfnow hotdeal.

Great Course

This was my 1st time back since they added the extra 9 holes. Challenging course and like today, the pins can be place in extremely difficult locations. Greens rolled nicely with only a few showing signs of past winter damage. Green fees are a little pricey with GolfNow hotdeals rarely dipping below $30.

Not really worthwhile

Used to be a decent course many years ago but not the case these days. Good deals can be had on GN but be prepared to shoddy tee boxes and weeds all over the place. Greens roll ok but you're better off elsewhere.

Great course

Great course with a few quirks. If you don't mind large homes visible from every vantage point on the course, then you'll enjoy the challenge. Some par 3s & par 4s can play long for the average hitter and the greens can have some very tricky pin placements. This course is definitely worthwhile to play.

Great Course

This course is definitely worth playing especially if you can get a low-priced hotdeal. Even from the white tees, some of the par 4s can play long for some. The only negative I can present is that this course in built around a crowded well established community with homes on just about every hole so it's not the most scenic of courses. Views not withstanding, the golfing experience will be challenging.

Great Course

Challenging course mainly due to the many blind tee shots and several water hazards that need to be carried on approach shots. Unless you have a good GPS, placement of your tee and layups can be challenging and could lead to slow play.

One of my favorites!

Great course for all skill levels. Play can sometimes grind to a halt especially on the weekends mainly due to "wanna be pros" playing from the back tees. I'm so glad that this course has returned to GolfNow.

Great conditions

Overall the course was is superb shape with near perfect greens that rolled fast & true. Great practice area w/ complimentary range use, there are numerous tee boxes with generous landing areas to accommodate any skill level. My only complaint is the design of hole #3 but this is me being hyper-critical. I recommend playing this course at least once a year and with the normal green fees attached, it's about all the average income can afford. Even with an available golfnow hotdeal, the green fees are still around $70.

Add this course to your summer rotation

Good course for the value, especially thru golfnow.com. Rolling, undulatating fairways can provide tricky lies but well placed shots will yield good scores. Has a real "links" look to it, but with regular watering or rain it still ends up being target golf, per usual. Clubhouse is nothing fancy, although just about anything is available including food and merchandise. Some reviewers mentioned slow-play, but that was not the case when we played (Labor Day). Overall, Blackheath is fun to play and is a worthwhile addition to your summer Metro Detroit golfing rotation.

Great location, terrible conditions

Greens were nice but slow (cut long). Tee box were shoddy and lacked grass. I can't see how they justify charging as much as they do. We paid $25 and frankly this place was only worth $10-15 tops.
