Club house not doing its job

On the back nine we waited every single shot..Six groups backup with 2 holes open in front of them..Called the clubhouse twice and no action-I guess a fire would have gotten them to quit bs ing or afire to simplify get them to do their job…Manager said we finished in four hours and we paid on golf now -“what should we expect”…Never seen such behavior out of this guy before-its one thing to get a job but something else to do it… Message seems to be play 4 hr round even if no one is on course..Never had such experience at Bk Mt-hopefully he was having a bad day or showing off for all th folks hang with him in clubhouse…Singular occurrence we hope to never see again even since we used golf now that he pointed out…Hopefully they don’t let another foursome out with 2 bags-and 2 golfers who had never played-hope all the folks were charged-makes you wonder what’s going on with taxpayer's money at course….

The Way Golf Should Be…

Pristine fall day, bright sunshine, autumn colors. My senior, single teetime merged with a twosome who invited me to join them. Let the conversations begin as we weaved our way through nine holes.
We shared golf tips, stories of past endeavors and plenty of laughs
as we tracked loose golf balls into tall grass borders. And of course we fully appreciated those soaring shots landing gently on the green just like we planned. The pro shop was happy to put me in touch with a decent stead of clubs, no charge, but call ahead. The staff easily retrieved my forgotten items, and returned them to me as I was heading off for a bite to eat at the green tee grille, where the great service continued. A great golf outing on a perfect day.
I’ll be back…

Pace of Play

They need a sign that says 0-5 Handicap (BLUE); 5-15 (WHITE); 15+ (RED)...too many folks playing from the wrong tees which bogged down the pace of play

No yardage markers

Be prepared. No sticks, or marked sprinklers. It was a guessing game without a range finder.

Absolutely terrible

The greens and quite a few of the tee boxes also were full of sand. Obviously this is common practice in the fall months but staff was completely oblivious or felt no need to make us aware of the conditions before starting our round.

Mountain Gem

First time playing Black Mountain GC and we found it to be very enjoyable! Despite the greens being aerated just nine days prior, they were surprisingly well on their way to being healed up. We’re looking forward to playing again when the greens are at their best and the rhododendrons are in full bloom! Fun to experience the par 6, 747 yard 17th hole! The food at the Green Tee Grille was delicious and we hear the breakfast should not be missed! We’ll be back soon!

Aerated greens

I love this Donald Ross gem. My summer home course. Played 9/29 almost 2 weeks after aeration and greens still sandy and slow. I would wait another week before playing. Other than that great place to play.

SAND

This course is always one of my favorites but they really messed up this time when they top dressed the greens. The sand was thick and heavy on the greens. I have played here before after top dressing and conditions were not unplayable like this time. They need to look at their procedures for the future.

Beach on Greens

Tee boxes poorly managed, fairways okay, greens were horrible given that the course recently top dressed them with so much sand that putting was impossible without using a hybrid.....too bad as the layout is nice.

Not good experience at all

The sand that was put on the greens!! OMG!! That person needs to be fired. It was thick, uneven, didn't even go to the outer edges.. waste of time golfing there because once on the green you would just pick up your ball and go to the next hole! Not able to even keep score. Will never go back and will not recommend. Also when I checked it the man behind the counter was not friendly and never engaged other than a quick name and pointed to golf carts and went right back to eating and watching TV.

Sand on greens

The course was great overall except for the greens. Once on the greens, it was like putting out of the sand. Had I known this, I would not have played that day. It was terrible with the amount of sand on the greens.

Please oh please scrap the greens to even the sand out and drag off the abundance of excess sand. Large sections with so much sand you can’t even see the grass. That much sand will take a month or more to go into the greens.

Poor greens conditions - NO NOTIFICATION OF AERATION AND TOP DRESSING

All greens were un-puttable. Played 9-22-23. Greens topdressed 9-21-23. No mention of this process when this round was booked and paid for. We should have been given a notice with a choice of whether to book or not. Had we known this was done to the greens we would have played elsewhere. Disappointing to book and pay on-line only to arrive at the course and find that it is unplayable.
