Black Diamond Golf Club

We have been playing this course for over 15 years and obviously enjoying it - however the new layout of mixing up the holes has created an amazing experience in terms of the combination of links and "mountain" style nines. It is a must play we tell our friends even though a bit off the beaten track.

Great course and new layout is better than original. This is definitely a "hidden" gem. A big thank you to all of the staff for making 2016 a memorable one. Happy holidays to Shawn, Matt, Tom, Dave, Gord, Justin and rest of staff!

I took my sister golfing for her first real golf day. They made it a foursome with 2 gentlemen. We had such a great day. Very challenging course but my sister did well! .

hi, course was in good shape, I like the new layout. But outing was ruined by poor pro shop experience. Had the first tee time of the day, when we finished went in for a late breakfast and noticed a sign in the washroom - early bird special, including breakfast $50. When we back to the guy who checked us in and asked why he wouldn't have mentioned the special since it was cheaper then what we paid ($57 plus tax), his response was that I didn't ask for me! I replied "you're kidding" , his response was he could credit back but he was really busy and we'd have to wait ... drove over an hour for this kind of customer service, disappointing

Overbook the tee times so be prepared to play in a foursome. Pace is slow and while there is a starter there appeared to be no marshalls to ensure the pace was even. People spent too much time looking for their balls. The breathtaking scenery and cold but overpriced beer made it an ok experience. Not for the serious golfer on a busy day.

course in great shape. would recommend for sure

We enjoyed the way they changed the nines. The golf course was in excellent condition and we would certainly play it again.

What an awesome day! A tad windy at some points, but overall lots of sunshine and fun.

It was cold and that was why the pace was excellent. Like the course layout...it is like playing two very different courses in the same round. The front 9 is easier that the back which plays uphill and longer than the yardage suggests. One of the hole was under construction and the hole was at least twice the size of the normal.

After playing over the course of 12 or so years, Black Diamond has rounded into a great track in the Kawartha Area..Love the restructuring of hole layout this year.Greens have never been better.

Always great value especially if you are lucky enough to snag a Golfnow Hot Deal.

Well recommended.Golfing in November was fortunate,with no compromise on course quality!!

Great layout, course is in excellent condition. Course Staff very friendly and accommodating. 3rd time playing course and ithe course seemed better each time. Looking forward to next season.

I've been coming to Black Diamond since this spring. I've usually had great time here because despite the terrible pacing of the course (always backlogged), the staff had made up for it by allowing my husband and i to refresh to hole 1 to not be waiting for the next hole all the time. Unfortunately the good relationship was severed last Saturday when i was mistreated by a staff named Neil.

There were a couple golfers ahead of my husband and i who were goofing around, putting after their hole was already done at every hole. No staff came by and we were extremely frustrated. At the 12th hole we wee finally able to flag down a staff by the name Neil and asked if we could go back to hole 1 instead of waiting as we've always done. He smirked and said yes so we went back and started. 4 holes in, after we've put in the driver shot, he came back saying since we've done the 4 holes so we had to leave. Not only did he rudely interrupt a play (common decorum should dictate he should ask us to leave at the very least after the hole was completed), but he emphasized he wanted to go home so he couldn't let us finish the holes we didn't get to play. It was 4pm.

The previous staff were very kind and made me want to revisit the course. However this situation left a very bad impression, particularly on the staff named Neil. He was extremely rude and arrogant. Not really sure why he's working where he hates it so much. I think the black Diamond will do much better without him or at least properly training him to take his attitude outside the workplace.

Played the course November 5th, 2016, cool but a sunny fall day. Place was a little slow, they have changed the lay-out since I played last time, by mixing the holes up it greatly improved the playing experience for this course. If you are in the area play it you will enjoy it I am sure.

Love the course was in great shape for this time of year. Well worth the drive .

Great course, with lots of elevation changes , beautiful, need to place ball correctly.

Pace of play was terrible. Spoke to marshal who did nothing about two groups of four in front of us They were searching in the woods and ponds for balls continually. We paid for 18 and left after nine. The tee blocks were hacked to death. Garbage, cigarette butts and broken tees all over the place. Watched the marshal throw a cigarette butt from his cart to the ground after blowing smoke on us It may be a nice course but our experience was terrible. Sounds of the Hwy 115 was annoying and not scenic at all. I would not recommend black diamond to anyone until they speed the pave up. I'm not a big fan of shared greens either. The eigth green is shared( think its 8) which I'm not a fan of. Had a ball land between my feet. Dangerous

Beautiful course

Great lay out

Some holes are very challenging and u have to play the course

Overall course conditions are great except one temporary green which was not really a green

Will certainly play again , over all a great experience

Marshals did not keep the pace going. We quit after 14 holes

All the staff were really nice the best ,.reception

Played Friday afternoon, was very slow when we caught up to the groups ahead at the 5th hole. Front nine took 2.5 hours to play, two groups were waiting on the 10th tee.

The Marshall said it was backed up all the way through the back 9 and let me go back to the front nine and play it again.

Glad he offered that. I finished the 9th hole when the group I was playing with was just getting to the 15th tee.
