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.

Excellent Golf experience
Reconfiguration of the course layout this season is superior to past. The conditions of tee boxes, greens, fairways and surrounding areas are in excellent playing conditions and greatest value for money,
Great Golf Course
Excellent courses and friendly staff.
Strongly recommend !!!
Hey "Jay8032354" thank you for the 5* review and recommendation! Come see us again soon.
One of the best golf courses !!
I enjoyed game with my friend, and some other players; who were joined us at same time.
We discussed how to play golf is good and how to enjoy the golf. As result we have to play golf at the good condition golf course and challenging course. And we meet good player.
This course condition is very nice and challenging. We really like it.
But 12 hole is no good, because it's temp. hole. Why?
I don't know this hole has what's the problem.
Hi "inpac" we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time out on the course and enjoyed the company of the group you were paired with. We had done some rennovations last fall and are a few weeks away from getting everything opened up!
new lay out
They have changed the order that you play the holes in. If you were used to the front 9 being easier than the back 9 this is no longer the case. You switch back & forth between the old front & back 9s. It makes for a good mix. The course is in good condition. The greens fees are also lower than they were last year. We'll be back.
Hi "OBV" we are happy to hear that you like the new layout of the course! We look forward so seeing you a lot this season!
Great Vista
Variety offering of Holes
Good Scenery
Several levels of difficulty/tees
Hey "seskent" thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. Come see us again soon!
Black diamond
Good value, nice new layout, firm greens. Will return.
Hey "u006457291" thank you so much for the positive review! We look forward to seeing you soon.
Nice Course
I like playing this course as it has a variety of landscape features to make one's round interesting. The new order of holes is well done allowing the more scenic valley to come into play earlier. It is early in the 2016 season and the weather and course shows it.
Hey "magicboy" thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and provide your feedback. We are glad to hear you like the new layout and we hope to see you again soon!
worth the drive!
played in Spring... layout now changed, so a mix of front 9 and back 9 holes on each 9 for the new layout... fantastic greens for this time of year!
Hi "u000004458225" thank you so much for the kind words about the course and we are glad to hear you like the new layout!
improved golf course
the entire layout of this course has been changed. it has been changed for the bettor. they are making great improvements and it has become a very challenging course. I would recommend this course to all handicappers
Hey "u917296490" thank you so much for the 5* review! We are always working to better our course to provide that ultimate golfing experience for our golfers. See you next time!
Challenging
Good condition for early season
Hey "parguy" thank you for the positive review. We hope to see you again soon!
Very nice course.
The front 9 like a British style, very open. The back 9 are tighter and remind my the courses you find up in the Muskokas. Going again next year for sure.
Great Course
Good design with especially challenging back nine. Course in great shape with fast greens.
Scenic fall golf
It is an interesting course some nice vistas due to the elevation changes . The staff are always laid back and pleasant in my 7-8 times here . Greens a month ago had way too many ballmarks from people not fixing there ballmarks . Hey folks I know you dont hit many greena but fix the divots when you do! Seemed a little better a month later , the greens were punched this time they did as good a job as possible at keeping them somewhat smooth overall I dont play here for the great greens I enjoy this course tee to green especially on the back nine
The course has great features
The course is in very good condition ,very challenging at the back nine holes.I like playing at this course.
Horrible round
Love this course till yesterday. First they didn't have our tee time(two some) from golf now. Then they said there is a tournament that is about to start. So they send us out the back. Fine but there were people coming from the front nine mixing with all other guys just starting from the back. So of course it was going to be slow. After 2 1/2 hours we get to the front and there are still 4 foursomes waiting to go out from the tournament. We decide to do the back nine again. We get stuck between foursomes from the tournament. No Marshall anywhere. Over booking just doesn't work. Please organize your tee times better. Played here many times. Nice course!!
Worth the price if you are in the area
I've been wanting to play the course for a while and glad I did. The course was is great shape and the greens rolled well.
I don't make a big deal that others have about the 9's being so different. It is not a big deal to me.
However the 10th is just a bad hole. I was playing the tips and had the course book and played with others who have played the course before. I took the cart down the hill just to get an idea of where to go and by the time I got back up the hill to hit the tee shot I still had a very hard time picking a line and club.
Don't plan to walk the back 9 unless you bring a Sherpa. During the back 9 I found a lot of the time that you need to drive ahead of your shot to see where you are aiming and what the landing area is like. Know how to play the hills, slopes and bounces. One surely needs to play the back 9 a few times to really get a feel for it.
The greens had some nice slopes and breaks so make sure you take a second and give them a good read.
I will certainly play it again when I am in the area.
One of my favaourite courses
I played here many times and it is one of my favouriate courses. I like the variety that the course offers. Front 9 is mostly wide open and back 9 is mostly in the valley with a lot of elevation changes. In short, every hole is different and you won't feel bored of similar layout and length.
The course is well maintained and staff is very friendly.
fun and different track to play
the front 9 is straight forward as a links style course. However the back 9 is completely different. Talk to someone in the know before hitting from the 10th tee!
The back is a parkland target style course which is fun but would have been better if we had someone who knew it playing with us!
Nice outing but...
To be fair, the day I played saw brief heavy rain 4 hrs prior to play so they may have had issues with normal maintenance and staffing. The greens were not mowed that day, conseqently a bit slow, but most alarmingly they were EXTREMELY scuffed, never seen this much foot dragging on any course! No Marshal on course, so our twosome had to push our way through a slow fivesome(!) and then a beginner, senior, 3 lady, one man, foursome. First 4 holes took more than 90 minutes! No beer cart on this day either.
Had this been my 1st experience at this normally excellent course, my review would be scathing. At the GolfNow special rate, you helped mitigate a potentially frustrating day.
great value
paired up with 3 great people which made golf even better. course is in excellent shape
Hey "Ed1946476" thank you so much for the kind words about the course! We are glad that you like the new layout and hope to see you again soon.
