Blackhawk Golf Club

We selected this course because of getting $10 per player Hot Deal from Golfnow.com. After playing this course, I can see why they're practically giving away tee times.

The cart we got had a GPS, but the antenna part wasn't working so it was essentially worthless. Also, we had to play with the brake to get it to lock. Both of these items speaks to maintenance and not checking out the carts prior to issuing them out.

Myself and my wife started out at the driving range after being given one of the dirtiest set of practice balls I've ever used. Some of them are so bad that after finishing with my driver, I had over 10 different marks that we plainly paint coming off the balls. Luckily the driving range itself gets a good rating from us.

The course is a mess as you would expect by a course on the decline. The only redeeming quality was that they kept the greens smooth. But the fairways are dead and in places completely bare of grass, the water hazards are so overgrown that I fully expect to see plenty of snakes in there come warmer weather, and signs are missing to help you figure out the twisty-turny cart paths. On 3 different occasions, we had to double back to find the correct path to the next hole.

So... Want a cheap course during Twilight time, go here. Want a professional golf course, go elsewhere.

Price was good value. Plenty of parking. Easy access. Staff very friendly. Greens great shape. Fairways =terrible. Clay soil lots of bumps like potholes - Not a big obstacle. You can see where they are trying to work on the fairways, but they need a good bulldozer to do the trick.

The course was in good condition, the greens moderate speed, I will play there again

For almost the entire fromt 9 we had no one in front of us and we were cruising. Then it was like every one jumped on the back nine and play came to a stand still. Very frustrating!!!!

It's been a few years since I've played this course. Rate of play was a bit slow but I've never had this problem before so I'll just say it was one of those days. No complaints, good course for the money. I'll be returning in the near future.

they are trying, but this course is in rough shape. Almost not worth the only $20 paid for round.

Play this course over the year it has seen it better days . I can say this it has impoved over the last two for the better.

This is a very nice course, with mostly wide fairways. There are a couple of go for it shots, like the drive on 17, and some long par 3's(#5 is especially tough), but not a lot of water and the fairway bunkers are easy to play. Greens are a little slow, and have some rough spots, but are mostly pretty good. It is an enjoyable course to get out and knock it around with your friends. Enjoy the great golf now pricing.

Good course anytime. Would recommend others. NEEDS LANTING MORE TREES ON THE COURSE AND ALSO MORE GRASS ON DRY FAIRWAYS.

Fairways had plenty of weeds, especially the back nine. Greens were fine.

The fairways are in rough shape. Several are under repair - had to drop outside of roped off areas.
Course was also very wet do to recent rains (but other courses aren't this bad?).
This was the first course which I played at when I started playing a year ago. I was curious and decided to go back. Now I remember why I stopped playing here.

The course is in ok condition, but there are many spots where there is dried up dirt and rocks. The greens were in great shape, but getting to them is a different story. I got a cart # and couldn't find it outside. Went back in to tell them and was treated as if I'm an idiot. I scheduled a very early tee time with my buddy so we could make it back home early to be with our families. We got to the first tee and there was four younger gentlemen there but it was our tee time (guess who had my original cart). The Marshall said they were there first and could tee off because I guess it makes more sense to put a foursome in front of a twosome. Not only did we have to tee off later, but we had to wait even longer because he had another twosome start earlier then their scheduled tee time to play with us. It wasn't busy at all so I didn't understand what the need for that was. Then on hole 7 he came up to us and said we need to pick up the pace of play when there was nobody on the hole behind us. Thought we were fine on the pace of play and we finished the course in 4 hours when they expect it to be 4 1/4 hours. He came by on the back nine and said it again. I love being hassled by the Marshall and the kids that take your golf balls if you hit it close to their backyard. At least the kid on hole 16 was sitting out by his fence hustling golfers to buy golf balls he found in his backyard. We did not have a pleasant experience. Though the course seems like it'd be fun, we will not go back to play again.

A few spots were absolutely awful, but overall my terrible

Not a good course, very bland and not interesting. I sailed a four iron into the snack bar and darn near killed four people!

Blackhawk is in my back yard and I enjoy being able to play a course that is close to home and provides a challenge.
The owners are working on improving the course and after last years tough winter most courses in the area have repairs to be made.
We had a great day and enjoyed are round. I am sure I will be teeing it up again at Blackhawk in the near future.

The course was in really good shape. Blackhawk has done a wonderful job with the grounds. Throw in a few more sand traps and it'd be perfect!

I had played at BH 2-3 years ago. So when I returned to it past weekend, I was expecting a course in fairly poor shape. There were still bunch of areas in bad shape (bare ground with no grass), but overall, it was in a better shape than I feared. Green was sanded and rolled reasonably well (but not very fast). It's not a course you would take your important guests or clients, but it's worth a visit once a while.

Some good holes, some bad holes. If you want to see several examples of where not to place houses along the fairways of a golf course, this is a good place to start your analysis. Course was in much better shape than what I recall in previous visits - many years ago. Greens were very good. Fairways were good with some rough spots here and there. Bunkers were in generally good shape as well.

This course dropped off my radar after my past experiences. I do see some improvements being made. If you want a golf fix, this is not a bad choice but there are nicer courses close by.

Decent course. I played it earlier in the year, but went back to see if it would be better. My major gripes are the greens and the course conditions on the back 9. The greens are in bad shape, and the back 9 fairways were in terrible condition. I would play again, but I would only pay $30 at the most. The staff is friendly and the pace of play is pretty good.

Blackhawk was in better conditions than I expected. Fairways were not too dry but an abundance of patches that are missing grass was annoying. We lost a couple of balls in water hazards after hitting tee shots in the middle of the fairway which was also annoying. The greens were decent but like the fairways had some spots missing grass. For a good deal on Golfnow it is worth the money but don't expect too much.
