Blackstone Golf Course
About
The player-friendly Blackstone Golf Course boasts a reputation of being an excellent course for families. The gently undulating landscape is approachable to beginners while still providing a fair amount of challenge. The rolling terrain requires accuracy but most holes allow for short irons if you're willing to risk hitting your ball into the treetops. There is a stream that meanders through the golf course, coming into play on a number of holes. It also crosses through Blackstone's driving range. Strategically placed bunkers are also scattered throughout. The greens are in excellent condition, providing great putting surfaces. Blackstone Golf Course has garnered a local following because of its playability, which is helped by three sets of tees, and extremely reasonable rates. It's an excellent location for a casual round.

Great Course
One of the best value courses in the area. Twilight prices are less than $25 for 18 holes. Conditions and layout for a $25 course is very challenging. Hidden gem in the middle of a beautiful forest
Good Track!
Good course. It is the dry season. So, some areas were dry and hard pan.
Need rain.
Great course, challenging tee shots!
While most fairways are wide the penalty for missing them is severe in many cases. Good mix of challenging holes and reasonably easy holes. I enjoy playing this course.
Great change of pace
I’d give it all 5s except that is reserved for places like pebble. Great place. Hole #9 isn’tl week thought out but overall it’sa great track
Blackstone Golf course is a fun course to play.
This course reminds me of some of the courses in western ny with it's rolling hills and wooded areas.
Blackstone is challenging but fun to play.
Blackstone May 18
I’ve played this course several times over the past three years. Compared to local Destin area course, it’s still the best value for the money if you're not intent on playing a waterfront or vacation spot course. I had a $20’ off Golf Now coupon making mine and my wife’s rounds $19 each.
The course is under some stress. Some tee boxes and greens are showing stress. Greens had recently been aerated which is understandable. But few others struggling. Some fairways showing a lot of sand and dirt. It’s only May. They’re not mowing the grounds often it appears to assist repair. I understand.
Courses is still worth playing and a value choice. My full experience here as been good. This is the first time I’ve given an over rating below a four. I’ll keep playing here unless conditions worsen.
Good layout
Nice layout for a course. Greens good for the most part. A few had some problems and a few had not recovered from airation. Fairways varied. Some were good, some fair and a couple had very little grass. A few weeks of heat and water will help all but the worst fairways.
A very different challenge than any other course in the area nature at its best wild turkeys fox squirrels everywhere greens were really good love it mom
Blackstone
Great course, fairways a little ruff, but getting better.
Well worth the drive
Tee boxes needed some work. Parts of the fairway, closer to the green were very nice other parts had patches of grass. In either case is was a good hitting surface.
The greens were the best part of the course. I played several courses on 98 in Destin and these greens were as good as those $100+ fee courses.
It was a 50 minute drive from where I was staying on 30a, but well worth it.
Loved the layout. Will definitely be back.
