Blackstone National Golf Club
Played On 08/14/2020Absolutely Terrible
I have been playing here for a long time and I have never seen it in this bad of shape. This is the worst conditions I have ever played in Massachusetts. The whole course is burnt out to the point that the grass is gone in many spots. The 4th green is almost entirely dirt. 10% of the grass is left. Most greens are at least 25% dirt. The greens are as hard as concrete.
The major problem is this course isn't cheap. $90 with a cart on the weekends. This course used to be in better shape but it has always been run horribly. Tee times almost never run on time because they insist on doing split tees every day. Our tee time was at 1:40 on a Friday afternoon and we walked off the 18 green at 7:05. Pace has always been bad here.
I would make this a 0 star review because the staff is the worst I have ever dealt with. The kids in the proshop are great and the restaurant staff are good but the golf staff on the course is a joke. The starter is always completely clueless.
The worst part is the general manager of the course was in the group behind us. He couldn't have been more rude. While we were waiting for the group on the tee before the 4th hole they hit a ball into us that bounce off the tire of our cart. No one yelled fore and when they drove over to us they were as rude as possible as we laughed it off and showed them where the balled ended up. The hit into us a couple times but then on the downhill 17th hole they hit a ball that rolled 15 yards passed us. This was a 5+ hour round so they knew we would still be right over the crest of the hill. Also if you have been the GM for his long you know exactly how that hole plays and that you should wait a little extra before teeing off.
If you are in Central Mass I would suggest you play anywhere else. This is the worst golf experience you could possibly have.
