Blair Park Golf Course
About
Blair Park Golf Course is the one of High Point's two municipally owned courses. It's the older of the two, given as a gift to the city from the descendants of Solomon Blair. Originally constructed as a nine-hole course in 1931, a second nine was added in the late 1940s. Over the years the golf course has hosted many area championships and has become a favorite of local golfers. The golf course has a traditional layout with challenges that have withstood the test of time. Several creeks meander through Blair Park Golf Course, coming into play on more than half of the holes and the bunkering is minimal but strategic. The course is player friendly enough for beginners but low handicappers will enjoy the risk-reward opportunities where you can go for broke, though errant shots will be severely punished.

Great for the money but pace of play awful
The rangers really should do a better job of encouraging faster play.
Great Saturday afternoon
My husband and I enjoy playing this course. The "hot deals" are the best. The course was in very good conditions for a city course. The ranger on duty that day was very friendly, accommodating to our needs, and did a great job. We will definitely play this course many more time.
Better than a Driving Range
For the money it was OK. Greens were beat due to poor golf etiquette.
Very Enjoyable
Course is in very good condition, especially compared to other neighboring courses. Greens did not look great because of players not repairing their ball marks but ran very true in spite of player neglect. Fairways and rough are very playable.
WOW PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!!!
OK First things first. I have played this course many times over the years and normally when it comes to the High Point courses Oak Hollow is the one that tends to be in better shape and gets better treatment. This year however so many courses locally have suffered from a rough winter. We decided to take a chance on a great hot deal for friday the 3rd and got rained out. We were on the first green and it was under 2 inches of running water when they decided to close the course. That said we were pleasantly surprised at the amount of bright green grass in the fairway so we decided to book another hot deal for Sunday the 5th. First we were amazed at how well the course had drained in just a day and a half. They had at least 2 inches of rain on Friday and yet the course was in great shape. There was grass in the fairways and it wasn't mud or brown. We play every week locally and these fairways were the best ones we have seen so far this year and that includes the expensive courses in the area. The greens were also in perfect shape. There was a couple of holes that the greens had some rough spots on them but I think that was mainly due to the location of the greens rather than a lack of maintenance or care. We have a wonderful time playing. The staff was very friendly and to our amazement we finished our round in just over 3 and a half hours. We were so pleased with the course that we went back today and played (July 11th) and once again course was in great shape, friendly staff and a 4 hour round. We will definitely be coming back often. If you haven't played Blair Park because of what old reviews said or if you haven't played it in a long time go back, you wont be disappointed. So glad they finally gave this course some TLC. Even though the course was rained out on the afternoon of the 3rd when we went back on the 5th they had even raked all of the bunkers. To say we were impressed with Blair Park would be an understatement.
My go to course
Just a great value. Carts are a little slow. Fun course
Good conditions compared to other local courses
I've played 4 or 5 different courses in the Triad area so far this golf season, and unfortunately their fairways had all experienced WinterKill. We decided to try Blair Park based on a couple of positive recent reviews on GolfNow, and we were so happy with the course conditions! There may have been a rough patch here and there, but overall the fairways were in good shape. On the other courses I've played recently I was consistently picking up my ball and moving it to a patch of grass so I didn't have to hit off of a dirt patch. I didn't have to do that once at Blair Park. Same for the greens; there were a couple of rough spots, but good overall. Not to mention we played for $18 per person on a Sunday...can't beat that! The only thing that was a tiny bit annoying was having to wait on a few tee boxes and approach shots, but there were a ton of people there and it was a Sunday, so that was to be expected. Plus, course rangers were all over the place making sure people were keeping up the pace, so that was good to see.
If you're like me, and you just want to play some golf on a course that is actually in good shape, go play Blair Park! I will definitely be back soon!
Great fairways!!!
Here in NC, the majority's the local courses are not in very good shape.The tee boxes and fairways are suffering.I was very surprised at how green and lush the fairways were at Blair Park, the greens were also soft and receptive.This course was in better shape than some of the well known local courses.Great job guys!!
Fun little muni
This was my first time playing Blair Park. It isn't a long course but requires some creative course management and was a fun afternoon of golf. Great value.
Good Weekday Spot
Played on a Wednesday and basically had the course to myself. I've played here multiple times. This was the best shape I have seen it in. Fairways were in decent shape especially for this area. Greens were ok, slower. But for a weekday round you cannot beat the pace of play and the value.
Good course
Fun course to play. Not extremely challenging but has enough character and trouble spots to keep you honest.
Good For WEEKDAY ROUND
decent public municipal course that offers "good weekday round" at an EXCELLENT VALUE (price)
Good course for the money
Good course to play for the money , all the par 3's were challenging
Typical municipal course...lousy
Tee boxes were weed filled & poorly maintained. Fairways needed major attention. Perhaps later into the season with work, it could be a decent tract, because the layout, while simple, could be interesting for the average player. All in all, not a good example of a top notch municipal course. Based on course descriptions, I expected better.
Very Slow play
This Course very often has flights out with more than 4 players! It happens to me now the second time this year that there was a flight of 5 players in front of me holding up everybody!! There is a ranger out there but he is doing nothing to speed up play!!
Blair Park Golf Course
The fairways were very wet due to all the recent rain and it was carts on path ONLY so it took just over 4 hours to play 18 holes. The Greens were in GREAT shape.
Time of year
The course was I fair shape. You have to remember this is still winter. You may have to move the ball to get on grass.
Home course
Probably have played this course more than any other course in my lifetime. Great value. Good conditions for a muni. Can get crowded on the weekend. Great beginners course but......that can slow down play and random neighborhood kids will stroll through the course as a shortcut from time to time. Good value on Golfnow or at regular rate.
