My new favorite

I try to play many different courses during the season. This was my second time playing this course and with many courses closer to me, this one is certainly worth the 35 minute drive. It’s in great shape and the staff is accommodating and friendly.

Staff

Idk who the gentleman at the register was, he wears glasses and is an older man but every time he's there I cringe at paying for my tee time because he seems annoyed. Only reason I still play is because it's a fun course, affordable, and close to home. But the guy in glasses comes off as a jerk

New “circles of death around greens”

They have installed new electronic invisible fences around each green, 50 feet from edges.

This presents a problem for some seniors and handicapped players.

Special carts with flags should be available for these situations.

Exceptionally nice staff

Haven’t played Black Brook for a decade or so. Warmly greeted by Tim the head golf pro. Had another pleasant exchange with him at the turn. Makes a difference when people show some passion for their job. Course was in nice shape. Greens pretty well maintained and rolled smooth but not exceptionally fast. Bunkers have plentiful sand. Some tee boxes are showing wear this late in the season, but divots were filled with sand. Some work underway on the paths crossing the creek. Back nine is more interesting. Good place overall.

Pace of Play is horrible here

Took 2 hrs and 35 mins to play 9 holes as a single.

Teed off at 10:15am

Groups in front so slow (possibly a league but this shouldn’t happen on a Friday)

Staff was friendly

Highly Disappointed

I am so disappointed in this course. I used to play this course every day 36-45 holes a day years ago. And I come back to see this MONSTER OF A 5G tower on number 10. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO THIS COURSE???? This course used to be BEAUTIFUL. But now? I have to see this eyesore on number 10, 11, 14, 16, and the most amazing hole 18 every time I play now????? Who made this terrible decision? Is the money you are getting worth it? These towers emit RADIATION. They are microwaves. Is the $50,000 a month worth it? Pure greed!!!!!!! These towers are impacting the health of your golfers. Do you not care about them? SHAME ON YOU CITY OF MENTOR!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!
