Overall Good Value - Worth It

Just got home from my morning round. Played the Blacks, shot a 77. I walked and only had to pay $42 vs. $65 if you use a cart. Couple decent hills to contend with if you’re walking, but overall a good course to walk. Greens rolled really well. I’d give the maintenance of the course a 7/10. Fairways and tee boxes a little fluffy in some areas and bunkers were nearly pretty wet (I avoided them thank God). Creativity of the course was a 7/10 from the tips, definitely some interesting tee shots. The scenery was nice, and coming up one of the holes you see the historical castle in the distance which was pretty cool. Definitely worth giving this course a try. I’d say it’s a 1-2 times a year type of course. Worth going, but not going to entice you to come back often. Good luck!

Best Value For Your Money

I'm a 6 handicap and played the Blacks with a few of my friends. I ended up with an 84 after some penalty areas decided to gobble up some of my tee shots. The golf course was in great condition, but what really makes this golf course the best in the general area is the layout. Darkhorse is a challenging course. From some of the tee shots, to approaches and the multi-tiered FAST greens, every shot keeps you on your toes. If you're looking for good value and an amazing course layout (water, tons of bunkers, unique hazard areas, etc) then Darkhorse is for you. Highly recommended.

Was Fun; But Never Again

Had a good time overall, but this course takes serious course knowledge to have any chance at a decent round. Extremely challenging holes with very unique OB zones. Not a very intuitive course and only 2 holes are near the ocean. I would pay around $75-100 tops to play this course. Definitely not worth the $250. I don’t regret it, had a good time, but will never be playing here again.
