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.

Everything but the greens

For some reason people don’t fix ball marks on the greens. The course was in great condition other than the greens. Although they had good speed there was just too many ball marks that deflected putts in strange directions

If it wasn’t for rain

Played it 1 week after opening and course was in great shape. Great blend of holes that needed shot shaping and holes that were fairly open. Course is great. My advice would be to spend the money to cart because I didn’t get to play all the back 9 but it’s pretty up and down on the hills. I walked but would recommend spend a couple bucks to get the cart. Would recommend you play!

Course is fun with a challenge

I’m not a member but I play here often.

I love the course, and the staff are typically nice enough. Jordan behind the bar is always extremely friendly setting a good mood for the game.

Unfortunately the end of last season a friend and I were told to pick up the pace, (I’m a 80-90’’s golfer that has completed a round in 2hr) I was in a twosome with a twosome a couple holes ahead that had been since the first tee and no groups in sight behind. I stated this fact and asked how we were with the pace of play. The female marshal said we were average 9 min per hole which is fine but we should speed up to catch the group ahead. I think most golfers would agree it’s a physiological game, speeding up just to wait at every tee will play with the mind. I understand if there’s a gap ahead and group behind, sure pick up the pace. The second time the marshal came back around and told us we now had three empty holes ahead (after the turn buying food and drink) still no group behind. This put negative rushed thoughts in my head as I took my next few shots.

Just this past week, a friend and I were ready and waiting for our tee time. The starter decided to send groups with later tee times to go head of us because he wanted to group us with another twosome we didn’t even know and weren’t even there or checked in at the club house. Just a major disrespect to our time. My friend had a meeting after golf that pushing our tee time would make him rushed and late.

Again, fantastic course but some of the staff could use some basic training.

Great time of year to play here.

Last time I played here was a Saturday in early.summer. It took six hours the pace was so slow. This time we did it in four. To say I enjoyed it more.this time is am understatement. Aside from the miserable.starter, we had a great time. The cart had no score card and the starter never offered one. I forgot to ask for one. Beautiful.scenery this time if year. Course in great.shape.other than.lot of unrepaired divots on some if the greens. I blame that on other golfers.

Moderately Challenging.

Challenging due to the variety of terrain and hole layouts, but a fair course. Love the layout. Course conditions were excellent for September; good fairways, lush 1st cut. Greens true. Some greens multiple ball repair marks that needed tending to. Bunkers not all sand, many pebbles and a several very hard. Could use some attention. Overall very good. Played here multiple times over the years.

Great course with some variety

Your not playing the same back and forth round at those course. It has quite a it of variety and some ups and downs. Also some wonderful tight corners to play around if your playing from the back tees.

I would recommend trying it out

Scenic

Course is in great shape. I was expecting the rough to be burnt/dead, but it was surprisingly green. I don’t recommend playing out of the bunkers. They are raked, but there are a lot of large stones. It’s a tough track with the doglegs and elevation changes. The frequency of the food/drink cart was great.
