Blackstone Golf Course
About
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.

Blackstone review
Great layout, reasonable price and good pace of play! Just a long drive from PCB.
Subtle Gem
Not expecting much for the money, I was pleasantly impressed with Blackstone Golf Club. The practice facility is sparse, but that’s where the mediocrity ends. The fairways are mostly adequate although sometimes a bit bare ( it was January). The greens are fantastic and challenging. Bunkers are well maintained but could use a few more rakes. Elevation changes are breathtaking and add a bit of calculation needed. The carts are top notch although the constant advertisements are distracting. Overall, I’d play this course again anytime.
Hidden gem in the panhandle
I recently moved to Panama City Beach and asked some locals for the best course for the best value and Blackstone kept getting mentioned, so I had to check it out. I've since played the course 3 times in the first 6 weeks of living here, and I'm an hour drive away.
This course is definitely not your typical Florida course. There are elevation changes on many of the holes, and they are natural and not man-made. It's much more reminiscent of a course in Ohio that I used to play.
Now, the course has had some natural issues keeping the fairways in the best shape, but the greens are near perfect.
The staff has been extremely friendly, particularly a gentnamed Kirby.
Looking forward to playing this course many times.
Good value, very good greens
Very good value. Some patchy spots in fairways. Greens rolled great and were very good condition. Would play this course again when in 30A. About an hour drive.
Favorite course in the area!
Beautiful rolling course that is challenging with lush greens. Staff is always friendly.
Great course for value!
My first time playing this course, well worth the drive from Navarre. The greens rolled very nice and are well manicured.
Elevation changes and tight fairways can make scoring difficult. Staff and other patrons were very friendly. Overall a great experience. Will be back soon!
Probably won’t go back.
Course in poor shape. Greens were good but that was it. Back nine fairways better than front. It was like hitting off cement. No grass, rough fairways. We are snowbirds-first time here. We tried it because it had good reviews-but won’t be back.
Good for what it is!
Being January the tee boxes and fairways are rough, but like everyone else said the greens are gorgeous (although quite FAST). Definitely a challenging track for an intermediate player, but a cool course with a lot of elevation change and green slope. Nice carts too!
Lovely place to play
The course layout is challenging - tight fairways, deep gorges that have to be negotiated from the tee, and the ever-present sandy soils that makes it difficult to chip accurately that permeates the southern United States. But for all that, Blackstone is a fun and very pretty track that has lots of character and subtlety.
Just leave your ego, and maybe your driver, at home. :)
Some of the best greens!
The overall course was in pretty good shape. Tee boxes and fairways could have used a little work but it is winter time so I didn't expect perfect conditions. However, the greens were some of the best I've ever played on. They rolled true and fast making the putting very consistent. I must have just timed it perfectly not long after they aerated and rolled them or something, but I loved them.
Perfect
The course was perfect today. The greens are in really good shape. The fairways was amazing when we found them. Course looked like it’s old self. Can’t wait to go back for another round
