Blackhawk Golf Club

This course was in horrible condition. Greens were half dead and full of holes and grass patches. Tee boxes full of weeds and uneven. Pot holes in the fairways where the grass has dried up. Bunkers have been removed and not sodded over. Green aeration was done however, aeration requires top dressing which was not done. Clubhouse restrooms were totally disgusting.and firthy. I don't know how this course stays in business.

First time playing in this area. The courses with available tee times either had awful reviews or cost $120+ or both. I paid about $50 to play this course but would never pay that at home for this quality of course. But I ain’t home. The greens were ugly with spotty grass, some grass patches separated by bare areas. Didn't look smooth and were slow. But having to hit putts firm helped hold their lines so wasn’t terrible, just bad. The fairways were also spotty but I improved my lies and moved the ball to grass if necessary. There were some tough to see hazards but a local gave me good info to avoid. Check the layout on scorecard each hole before getting off. Not much rough to speak of and pretty open. It was good enough for a practice round in beautiful weather. Maybe it will be better once the grass fills in as summer progresses.

Fairways good. Greens still crab grassy . No water provided on course.

Got a super cheap greens fee, but now I know why. Fairways were patchy and had fire ants (yes I got bit a few times). Some of the flags wouldn’t stay up, and the cart path was windy and tilted. The greens had just been aerated and sanded, but I ok with improvements so hopefully it helps.

So i get to the course 1 hour before my tee time to warm up. When i get to the club house to check In the attendant wasn’t the friendliest. I asked him to get a bucket of balls and he said range was closed because the “ kids “ weren’t there yet to pick the balls up from the practice range. Then i asked him for the cart and he said i couldn’t get it because the have tee time in front of me and they need the carts. Practice greens are horrible. Staff is horrible. No cart girls around the course. This place should be ashamed charging what they do for a round.

I reserved this course on Saturday morning at the prime time, because this course was the only one available, and I knew what I would get, since I've read numerous reviews about this course.

However, is the game of Golf always have to be played in the most perfect weather at the most perfect condition? Often times maybe not.

So venturing into the world of 'unknown' sometimes makes us face some of the most out of the norm experience to people, and sometimes that's what life throws at you.

This course will test your utmost skills of Golf, in the areas of 'adaptability.' Unlike most of the golf courses, in addition to the typical hazard of water, roughs, and bunkers, you will finally get to face the most challenging element: The MUD. Yes, the course is vibrant with this fourth element and not only it will slime the ball, it will slime everything - including your shoes, pants, and even carts. If you wish to face this challenge, I would recommend getting a tee time especially after a rainy weather.

Trying to hit a ball off this means requiring your utmost level of concentration and will to push the limit, and yes - it will not be easy, but somehow you will have fun :-).

Green is also very colorful. I love diversity, and it will curve your ball in a very fun and weirding way during your putting.

I'm sure whoever reads this may be scared and wouldn't approach near this course. However, I'm also sure there will be challengers who would like to push limits. In that case, this course may be a choice!

Aside from that, staffs are friendly, and the course is very approachable. Whatever the case, let's try to enjoy the game. Let's try our best (maybe the course will try its best someday too!)

First time playing at Blackhawk, and it had just rained quite a bit, so I expected some squishiness. However, this course is full of clay, so it was almost unmanageable. Greens were in very bad condition, and there is no distinguishing the green/fringe/fairway. Will not be coming back to this course unless I read improved reviews. Pace of play was terrible as well and there weren’t any Marshall’s that I noticed to keep pace going steady. The staff however was nice.
