About
Blackstone Golf Club is one of the hidden gems of Chicagoland golf courses. It has one of the most natural landscapes of any course in the area thanks to the incorporation of more than 26 acres of environmentally protected wetlands. Half of the course is routed through dense forests of oak and hickory trees while the other half stretches across lush, open meadows. The wetlands come into play on 13 holes. Bob Lohmann, the golf course’s designer, crafted dramatic bunkers with irregular edges and strategically placed more than 50 of them along the greensides and fairways. It’s not a golf course where you can “grip it and rip it,” instead it will force you to think carefully before each hole. The layout can be a challenging test but four sets of tees and wide, player-friendly fairways make Blackstone G.C. more accessible for a wide range of skill levels.

Great course well worth the drive
Blackstone is quite a drive but well worth it. Course was paths only the day we played due to persistent heavy rains the day before and while that slowed the pace of play and most bunkers were filled with water, the rest of the course was still in great shape.
The layout is challenging yet fair greens rolled great. In typical conditions they likely roll in the 11+ range and were slowed a bit by the wet turf. Need to pay attention to the GPS when it comes to fairway and greenside bunkers particularly on holes with elevation changes.
Staff is friendly and the 19th hole is great. Overall an excellent round!

Blackstone presents Midwest golf at its best. Great layout, enough hazards to test your game without being punishing, and great conditions. Challenging but fair setup. Friendly staff and nice amenities. Definitely worth a visit.

Easily one of the best public golf courses in the Midwest. Don't pass on Blackstone just because it's a few extra minutes drive. Conditions are top notch, the layout was fun and challenging, and an overall excellent experience.

Great course
Great course in western suburbs. Always in great condition, greens are terrific and we love to play here. We drive 1 hour to get there but it's worth every penny and time. Put this on your "to play" list for suburban Chicagoland.

nice track
very nice facility. greens roll true, but noticed quite a few unrepaired ball marks. nice tee boxes, firm fairways and quick greens. Bunkers a little inconsistent. Driving range balls a junk and had to hit off mats for the day. Will be back as this place is worth the price and drive.
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Blackstone Golf Club.
