Getting worse

This was never a nice place

Clubhouse is crap, carts are pathetic, nothing on course like ball washers, water, etc

The course itself is alright

But for 10 to 20 bucks more you can play a track where the owner has an ounce of pride in what they own

Ive played here on occasion for 20 years

I won't be back until this owner sells

Beautiful Course

I live in Orlando, FL. Michigan golf is better by far. This is just another example. The course is absolutely beautiful.

Everything else was just ok. Golf carts were horrible. I complained to the starter about my cart stuttering and moving slow. Asked if he could call the proshop to have another sent over. He told me to get it myself.

Everything goof about this course is in the actual course.

Cource condition is pretty good

The cource condition is pretty good for all 18holes. But need to add the water and towel to clean up the ball at every hole.

Very well maintained course

Played at Blackheath many times and the staff is very friendly. The pace of play can be faster but overall a great course.

Play elsewhere

Clubhouse, carts, range, food, drinks, are all terrible.

Whomever owns this course puts the minimum into. The only reason to play the track was the cheap green fees

They are now up
Spend the extra 10 bucks to play somewhere worth your money

I've played here dozens of times over 15 years.
Not coming back until i hear of new ownership

Oh
But the greens were nice. Kudos to the greens keeper.

Open and challenging

Beautiful, hilly course with nice views. Fairways are open and there aren’t a lot of trees, but the course is still challenging with a ton of hills, sand traps and water. Really enjoy playing here and will definitely be back.

Great course

The course was in excellent condition! The pace was a little slow even for a Sunday afternoon. (about 5hrs). There were many holes where golfers from other holes were hitting in your fairway which could have contributed to the pace of play. Not a course for a beginner golfer.

Our Favorite Course!

This is my families favorite course to play! The fairways are maintained and bright green, the greens are manicured and very fast. The only trees are on the exterior perimeter of the course so your slice won’t be a problem at Blackheath. The prices are also lower than most of the decent courses in the area. Give it a try!

Course in good condition, slow pace

Course was in good shape. The greens were rolling good and tricky as ever. Some reason pace of play really slows up at the 11th hole and continues until 18

Dry Course

No one told ya it’s a dry course. Took some employees there and found out once paid it was an alcohol free course. Would have been nice to know prior to booking.

Good for under $25

No liquor license, extremely overpriced food and beverage. Clubhouse conditions are poor. Course was in good shape but it's wide open.
