Black Diamond Golf Club
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.

Sweet deal
Through GolfNow hot deal I teed off at 2:16. 18 holes with a cart for less than $24!!
Slow people in front had us waiting all the time, yet, still got done in under 4 hours? So no complaints with pace of play I suppose.
Tee decks are beat up but rest of the course is in good condition especially considering the semi-drought in southern Ontario this summer.
Very challenging course. Best golf value I've scored this summer.
Glad cart was included.
Do NOT walk this course.
If you're a fan of elevation changes you're in luck. It's mountain goat.
Thanks Black Diamond. I had a very good experience.
Scenic
beautiful course with challenging hills.
Thank you for your review!
Nice round
This is a good paced course and fairly challenging. You will enjoy it.
Thanks for the review Taylor!
Things are greening up!
Played the course about a month ago, and it was very dry and brittle due to the lack of rain. However, this time around the recent rain had greened things up considerably, so the course was in excellent condition Saturday.
There was a wedding going on so we ended up playing the front nine twice so we could keep moving along quickly. The marshal made the suggestion, and we're thankful for his flexibility.
This is a mature course with some tough holes, but it's a nice test of golf and the layout is pretty nice. Most holes are completely different from one another, which is nice.
Don't hesitate in saying it's worth the drive to get there!
Hi John,
Thanks for the great review! We appreciate your understanding with the event going on!
Hope to see you back again soon,
Black Diamond Management
beautiful course
one of the nicest courses in the GTA surrounding at its price.
Thanks for the great review! We hope to see you back again soon!
Excellent
Excellent course. Beautiful shape and layout. Challenging for all.
Thanks Brandon! We hope it wasn't too challenging and are glad you enjoyed it!

Great day
We booked day before and got great rate and service at this lovely golf course...conditions were dry as we have a long heat wave in place over 30 c every day. Course was green where it mattered. Greens excellent and fast. A lot of holes are tricky with safe layups needed...helps to play a few times. Definitely will return. BTW a cart is a must as their are very long walks between most greens to tees
excellent course for average or better golfer
If you think you are a good golfer, see how good you are here.
Hey "petermc" we are happy to hear that you find the course challenging but still enjoyable! We look forward to seeing you soon.
I Wish This Course Was Closer
Before beginning our round, we were greeted by the pro shop staff who were extremely friendly and had amazing customer service. Off the first tee, the starting marshall controlled the pace of play, which remained excellent throughout the round. The course itself is in great shape, with beautiful green fairways and greens. The greens played firm, with a bit of roll resulting in a challenging day. All the putts rolled quickly, but played true, which led to some rewarding moments on the green. We called the kitchen on the 9th tee and ordered some food and were on the 10th tee in only a few minutes. The only disappointing thing about the round was the temporary fairway "green" on 12, which led us to pick up our balls and skip to the 13th - hopefully the usual green will be ready to go soon! Overall, a challenging and excellent course. I will definitely be back again.
Hey "jgolfd" thank you so much for the 5* review! We are happy to hear that you had an overall awesome experience! We look forward to seeing you back out here soon!
Unfortunate Changes
This course has been rearranged. It used to be two very different nines needing two different sets of skills.That charm has now been lost. The greens were very hard on this trip and would bounce from the front off the back.
Bottom line is that one of my favourite courses has become one I wont rush to play again anytime soon.
Hi "hoomee7" we do apologize that you did not enjoy our new layout. We do appreciate you coming out and would love for you to come back again soon.
Great day
Weather was hot but great. For how dry it's been lately, the course was in great shape.
Hey "u00000438494" we are glad you braved the heat. We appreciate the kind words and hope to see you again soon.
Great fun
This was a fun course. A few really cool drives Into the abis. Tees to greens where nicely laid out and well manicured. Not crazy about the gravelled bunkers though. A few of the forward tees could have been further down the fairway for my wife.Pace of play wasn't all that bad, though it was Monday morning. I really liked the mix of links style and wooded park like holes. (A la Deerhurst Highlands)
Hey "Roland7144496" thank you so much for leaving your feedback. We are glad you and your wife enjoyed your time out on the course and we hope to see you again soon!
Great challenge!
Very challenging and in great shape!
Hey "cory94" thank you so much for taking the time lo leave us a review. Come back soon!
Great layout!
Really enjoyed the course layout and conditions were great...Well worth the drive to play!
Hey "Burls" thank you so much for the positive review! We are glad you made the trip over here; come see us again soon.
course layout
I played this course many years ago ... but enjoyed the new course layout with the mixing of the wooded fairways and open fairways
Thank you for your 5 star rating! We are glad you enjoyed the new course layout. Come back and play with us again soon!
A challenge but woth the effort
Challenging course for a beginner but worth taking if you can get to play at a discounted price. Cart highly recommended.
Thank you for your 5 Star review! We are glad to have given you a bit of a challenge on our course. Hope to see you soon!
A windy day
Played on July 18 and I've never played in that strong of wind. At times it was a 3 club wind. It made for an interesting day. I have 2 complaints: 1) some of the tee boxes are in need of repair. I realize it has been a very dry summer and it shows throughout the course, however, when you break a tee on the tee box it is time to add some water, and 2) the bunkers have a lot of stones in them and in some cases almost the size of a my golf ball--good reason to stay out of the bunker. Otherwise it was a great day of golf!
Thank you for letting us know your feedback. We will address these issues internally. Otherwise, we are happy to hear you had a great day and hope you come back to play again soon!
Enjoy the new layout and rearrangement of holes
Excellent idea to move holes. Makes the court more interesting.
Thanks, William! We are glad you enjoyed the rearrangement. Hope to see you again soon!
Nice course but too many twosomes.
The course is in fair shape considering the lack of rain we have been having. Nothing a little rain or watering wouldn't help. Our only complaint was that we were following 3 twosomes and a single, we were a twosome and were followed by another twosome. No body seemed to want to join up and the starter just kept sending them off as twosomes which makes for a longer and more frustrating round then it should be. On a number of tee boxes there were 3 different twosomes waiting to tee off. Excellent pricing through Golfnow which we couldn't turn down.
Hey "martins55" thanks for the review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the course here at Black Diamond Golf Club. But, we are sorry to hear that pace of play was not up to par.
Great Course, too bad it takes 4:45 on a Wednesday afternoon
I like this course but the stated reason for "rerouting" the holes this year was to sped up play by at least 15 minutes per round. on this day this was a dismal failure. I saw the "Marshall" 6-8 times and spoke with him at least 3. there was nothing done to move 2 turtle slow foursomes in front of us. Unfortunately poor players were allowed to play back tees and the two slow foursomes had 2-3 holes open in front of them. This course should never be more than 4 hours.
Slow play will kill this course and golf in general.
