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.

Best Ball

We are golfers in our mid 80's so we just play a best ball game. We normally shot under par and still enjoy the game and getting out. The greens were great but the fairways not so much.

Excellent greens

The greens were almost perfect. But the tee boxes and most fairways need work. We thought it was still a good value for the price paid.

Excellent Greens

Fairways to greens were only in fair shape. A lot of bare and sand areas where grass should be. I guess the concentration was keeping the greens in excellent shape because they were beautiful.

Greens are great.

I most say they have the greens in the best condition in the area at this time. Fairways need some work , wash out area on some holes. But I will be playing there again.

The Course!

We have been playing Blackstone since it first opened, and we have always enjoyed the challenging layout.
The greens were in excellent condition, but the fairways however left a lot to desire.

Fun course

Incredible greens and really good fairways. A couple fairways need some work but considering they are on elevation changes I fully understand. Still better than most course close by.

very good as usual

like that everything is greening up. Greens were quick and fairways were much improved over last year. Not perfect yet but much improved. Come back every year on vacation and play as often as possible. Will continue to do so. Keep up the good work. BTW we need to work on the kitchen staff as no dogs or food hardly ever available at the turn or following the round. Only complaint i'd really have
