The player-friendly Blackstone Golf Course boasts a reputation of being an excellent course for families. The gently undulating landscape is approachable to beginners while still providing a fair amount of challenge. The rolling terrain requires accuracy but most holes allow for short irons if you're willing to risk hitting your ball into the treetops. There is a stream that meanders through the golf course, coming into play on a number of holes. It also crosses through Blackstone's driving range. Strategically placed bunkers are also scattered throughout. The greens are in excellent condition, providing great putting surfaces. Blackstone Golf Course has garnered a local following because of its playability, which is helped by three sets of tees, and extremely reasonable rates. It's an excellent location for a casual round.

Always a good couple days at Blackstone

Our go to course when we want to break away from PCB for a couple days of golf. Management and staff are always friendly and accommodating. They had irrigation problems this past year so unfortunately allot of hard pan fairways, preferred lies anyone!.Greens are in very good shape and roll true, traps well kept. Visually a beautiful track, particularly the back nine. Thank you Blackstone, good to be back.

Hidden Gem

Blackstone Golf Course has been a great find!
Bill and his team members have been great ! They have really been good at getting us out on the course in a timely manner...Kudos to the grounds crew for their ability to keep course and especially greens in great shape...After finding this hidden Gem my wife and I have traveled the extra distance just so we can play again at Blackstone

Thanks again for your great effort and service as it is much appreciated

Walked

Sorry

Everything looked good when I arrived. Nice, newer carts, well kept practice green, nice folks in the shop. Unfortunately, the only thing nice on the course was the greens. The fairways are a wreck. Not just thin, they looked like they had bulldozer tracks and piled-up sand all over. There were a few holes that were virtually unplayable. Some of the mounding and earthmoving is inexplicable. I just can't recommend this course at all until they fix it. A lot.

Great greens

Some of the fairways are in really rough shape. Should be roped off to be ground under repair. Not enough sand in the bunkers.

Love this golf course

First time playing since my spinal ablation two weeks ago. I could not play past nine because of pain. I asked the staff member if I could get a credit for 2 for 9 holes as my wife was playing with me. I was very disappointed that nothing could be done. In the past they have helped me with medical situations in the past.
