Black Oak GC

Love this course! It's nice and quiet and we'll kept up. This course forces you play smart golf if you wanna score well and gives you the opportunity to try to bomb it if you dare.

The staff is always friendly and always act like you're a regular.

The only bad part about this course is that it's only 9 holes! C'mon man! Buy some land around you and put in 9 more!!

Good value

Nice coarse, all the greens were in good condition. The only downfall was every long hole was dog leg left, if you drive the ball with a natural cut shot you are at a disadvantage.

Fun 9 hole Course

Great course on a hot day. Plenty of shade and water stations when you need them. Love the over the water par 3 on #4. Most of the holes require a draw off the tee for right handers and I like hitting draws so it sets up well for me. Obviously, it's tough if your fighting a slice. My 9year old son, wife and I had a great time.

wonderful day

Great course in a beautiful location. Playing 9 holes is just the right amount of golf as it does not take all day.

Friendly staff, the club house could use a little updating.

GolfNow Value

I purchased the round using GolfNow. $15/player with a cart at 8:30AM on a Sunday morning. No maps on score cards so we were very glad we looked at the map inside where we payed. The man who helped us complained about his staff not being there and seemed frustrated he had to go fetch us a cart. I am a slower golfer and this course was my best time for pace of play. Still too long for most , but I can see the pace being quick. Most holes were big left turns. Old school gas golf carts that were in great condition considering their age. All in all we had a great day and would go back.

Great Full Size 9 Hole Course!

This is probably the 30th time we have played this course and it is always a great 9 holes of golf. There is enough variation of hole length, elevation change, and contour on the greens to please us average weekend hackers. The 2 par 5 holes should be easy pars, with a chance of birdie. Number 8 is my favorite due to the long skinny green. You can drive the green with a good tee shot over the trees, but if you are short, it in in the woods!. Highly recommend this course. This is our standard 2/month enjoyable, stress free outing with friends.

This is a wonderful 9 hole course where almost every hole is a left hand dog leg. Each hole is different and it is always fun to play.

Midday traffic jam!

Weekend carts vs walkers can be a bit tough. My brother and I -in a cart- followed an extremely slow walking foursome. Players behind us not realizing dropped balls on us at the second hole.We let them play thru. "Let the traffic jam begin!" Many walkers on this course.
Nice GC with lots of dog legs. Fun to play!
Very nice, and knowledgeable staff.
Looking forward to booking midweek.

Not bad. More of a local course

Good course. 9 hole. It's a local course for the regulars. It's way out in auburn so unless you live there it's a drive. Not bad can't complain. Old guy golf, tough for the young crowd
