About
Black Diamond Golf Club was carefully carved from the foothills and hardwood and pine forests of the Kawartha Oakridge Moraine. The natural landscape, which is covered in fescue, provides many challenges including several elevation changes and water hazards. The layout is unique in that the front nine is more of an open, links style with a double green and numerous pot bunkers, while the back nine has a more traditional North American character. Black Diamond Golf Club's back nine has a few tricky blind shots that present a formidable test for players of all skill levels. The golf course also has rolling fairways lined with trees, carefully sculpted mounding, and 70 strategically placed bunkers throughout.

10th Green Photo submitted by jgolfd on 08/10/2016
black diamond
a very satisfying round but tee boxes not in very good condition (to be expected at this time of year I guess!)
Always worth playing
Always a challenge; course always well maintained.
Nice clubhouse though prices a little on the high side, for beer at least
Good. Challenging Course
Good challenging course. Good value for money. Excellent condition. Nice staff overall
great views, staff very good,greens were rolling very nicely,I fixed at least 3 to 4 pitch marks on most greens(why can't golfers fixed there own + one more)
Over all great value
Enjoyed this course better before when it was two distinct 9 hole course layouts
The round started with 4 groups awaiting to tee off at our time at 2:16pm which put us behind by close to 30 minutes. The round took us over 5 hrs to play with log jams on par 3's and hazard carry driving tees. The greens were left in bad shape from players beforehand without fixing their divots from approach shots and multiple cigarettes and cigars butts left on the greens also. Not the fault of the course but still left a bad feeling about the round. Went in after the round to talk with the pro shop about these issues to find it closed up and everyone gone home before the last golfers had finished the course.
As stated in the headline for this review I much enjoyed the old layout of 2 distinct 9 hole courses of links style front 9 all open and longer to create space between groupings and warm up your game to get ready for a placement golf tight back 9 that challenged you to know your clubs and distances hit. While still offering great holes that never had log jams on any tee blocks.
Just my opinion and hope you have better luck with your round here.
Cheers
Great Golf Course
I have played this golf course a few times. I find that it is good value for the money, course is always in excellent condition and a pleasure to play.
Best Bang for the Buck!
This is one of the best courses around and can be extremely challenging if the weather conditions are such. I've played this course many times and there are certain holes which I always have trouble with and then there are holes that keep bringing me back. The staff are great. If you want to really challenge your game, play this course.
Scenic
Challenging course, fescue and undulating greens, good experience
All good!
Typical black diamond consistency to good course maintenance and customer service ! Bravo!
Pace of play
By the time we arrived on the 10th tee there was a group on the green, group on the fairway and 3 plus our group on the tee . We would have waited I'm guessing 45 minutes to hit. We opptied to play the front 9 again because there was no wait. Kinda ruined our round . Course was in great shape tho .
Black Diamond
Quite hilly, interesting holes. A few quirky 90 degree doglegs. They could provide some yardage tips on the doglegs. It is guess work how far too hit it. Too many drives through the fairways.
GREAT COURSE!
A couple of holes had bad layouts but excellent course overall
