Great Greens

Always known for its greens, they were kept a bit slow but it will be very hard to find such a uniformly green set of putting surfaces at any public course in the area.

The course offers a very good variety of holes requiring shots and thinking.

Fun to play and reasonably priced.

Ridiculous Greens. A few are totally unputtable.

The course has just too many greens that are un-puttable.

#3 on the South nine is unputtable. Back left hole location, ball directly below the hole such that putt is directly uphill. No problem, right? Wrong. Ball comes to rest near the hole and re-traces its enite lenght back to your feet. The slope and greens cutting/rolling are over done by and extreme on this hole.

#4 and #6 on the east nine are unputtable. Balls barely touched to just start it the ball rolling putt off the green and down the fairway on #6 and on #4, the ball just won't come to rest as it slows near the hole and then continues rolling and rolling.

I'm all for fast greens. I'm all for requiring a fairway shot to be in the right place on the green. But there are too many greens that are "clown's mouths" like a miniture golf course trick show.

Someone needs to objectively look at these greens and fix them. Until then, stay away!!

Blackstone is a Quality Course

Great layout, tough but fair greens, and good variety of shots required to play. Just wish it wasn't so far away.

Nice layout

Fun course. 3 nines. Pay attention to short putts as greens have subtle breaks. Very fair course. Greens are undulating. Bunkers are to be avoided and there are a lot of them.

Great condition and very good pace of play

Overall great place to play. Greens are a challenge to read with subtle breaks. Back nine in particular has very interesting holes. Course has lots of elevation. Tough par threes. Stay out of the bunkers.
