Black Mountain Golf & Country Club - Founders/Desert Course

Course is closing on the 25th, but Golf Now advertised it as nothing strange. Embarrassment,, sad deal for the course for sure, been around for 60 years os so, but Golf Now needs to do a better job of monitoring what they are selling.

This course is officially closing Nov. 25th, and it seems, to their credit, they are trying to at least maintain the greens until closing. Not much else can be said here except the course will continue to deteriorate over the next few weeks, and it's already pretty rough.

The fairways and tee boxes were in lousy condition. Not much grass.

Played at Black Mountain 3 or 4 weeks ago. Love the improved conditions of the course. Today the course was dried and fairways in poor condition. What happened?

Too bad housing developer will bull doze the course. Once upon a time it was a very good 27 hole track. Other reasonable cost las Vegas course options are plentiful....

My twosome paid $40 total for our round. The fairways and yes boxes need some serious TLC.

The greens were in very good shape. My impression was a course that has seen its glory days go by.

For less than $20 it was a great value. The greens were actually pretty good. However, the fairways and tees were dried out with little grass. I’m sure back in the day it was a terrific course. Now it is a budget place with not so great course conditions. The staff was terrific - just a few of them doing it all.

Course is getting better. Greens are in good shape and fast. Challenging.

Course maintenance of tee boxes and any other manicured area is non existant. The greens are great though. Pro shop is closed, check in at the bar. I suspect the course will be closing soon.

Price was very good, we thought. Upon arrival, we noticed the fairways were basically semi-desert. Greens were okay.

Just seemed like the course is getting ready to shut down. For being early in the season, the grass is dry

I hadn't played this course in several years, but the price was good so I thought I'd try it. Bad move...

The course is not being watered properly - even the tees were dead grass and dirt. The only bright spot were the greens - they are in great shape. However, there is almost no green grass to be found anywhere else.

Whoever owns this course is trying to cut costs everywhere. There is no real pro shop, and they don't sell new balls according to what I heard the bar and grill employee (who doubles as the prop shop guy and tee time checker) tell another golfer.

I don't see this course staying in business much longer if they don't start watering it.

This was the worst course I have ever seen - and I've been to North Dakota. The entire course was dead grass except for the greens. It cost $9 but I should have given that money to a homeless man near the entrance.

I won't go back unless I become wheelchair-bound. The dead grass created a nice, smooth surface for wheels.

I have played this course when they had three 9 holes. It was a great course and shape was good. I go back once in a while and this place is a last resort stop if you can’t find a place to play. The staff is amazing. The course is another thing. Dead the grass is so dried out that it looks like dust flying from the cart when driving. I do believe they are closing this place so that may be the reason but it’s been this way for a while. Never really in great shape. If you pay more then 20 bucks get your money back. If closing then it’s sad to see this place go.

Course was dry, they will be closing it in June....

Played on a Wednesday as a special rate ($10) and it almost was not worth the price. Conditions of the fairways and rough were just barely above fair as the only average area on the course were the putting greens. They were mostly green and were in decent condition, but they were only distinguishable from the fairway because they were shorter grass.

The layout was quite good and nothing seemed too penal if you sprayed the ball to another fairway. Bunkers were little sand and a hard base. The water features would have been good had they been filled.

Course is dead, not sure why it’s still open, as everything is dead.
