Great local course

Average and easy layout, great for beginners and walkers. Course has been in great shape over the past few years. Weekends can get busy so pace of play can be slow at times but overall, a very fun, forgiving course.

Blackbrook rocks

Solid public course! New ParAides that do occasionally even include club cleaner. Water too ever so often which was filled and a nice touch.

Greens are quick. Well kept. Not much water hazards. Bunkers are not super deep but they aren’t shallow and cheap either!

Nice little putting area near club house. Driving range is all grass and does require a short 1min cart ride. It rocks.

For a public course owned by the city it is awesome. Highly recommend.

First Time Playing

Solid Pitch and Putt

This course is great for your beginner to average golfers. The holes are not too long, though a wayward shot can put you into some trouble and even have you digging for a ball to drop. Once you get off the fairway, some areas have some patchy grass and sticky lies, but that's why it's called the rough. The greens were tough to deal with. Not the reads or the pace, those were pretty true, but sticking the greens were difficult. If you landed on the green, you most certainly bounced off the back, and if you tried to run it on, the apron wasn't having any of that. Good value course that isn't flashy or tricky.

Beautiful shape.

Course has been known to be a little rough on the greens.

This year so far it’s in great shape. Challenging for any handicap

Early spring.

Some areas are under construction and muddy. It'll dry out in a couple days. It's obvious that they're making continuous improvements.

Great greens, turf is well cared for, never a quick round

Black brook is nice because it’s well cared for, made more impressive by how much play they get. Get out early and it makes for a great round.

2 Strikes not a 3rd

This is the second time I been ignored or told bad information by the staff. After completed the round Sunday we waited at the cafe to grab snacks and beverages but were ignored. In fact the 2 staffers didn’t bother to acknowledge us and walked out only to come in to serve others patrons.

It’s widely acknowledged among the minority community that you treatment of us is… different.

My first encounter, was told course was closed only for my parter to get a tee time 5 minutes later.

Well , no worries.. our group won’t be back as well as others we know!!!
