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.

Don’t come hungry

Course was in pretty decent shape, greens were a little long but still putted pretty true. A couple fairways are hillside so there’s some erosion. Only real complaint was that there wasn’t anything to eat, grill was closed. That shouldn’t happen on a weekend.

Tough course

Went to this course on 2/9/25 the clubhouse kitchen was not open unfortunately. The fairway was in fairly rough shape in some spots. The greens where in fair shape but did have some weeds grown into it was still very playable. Will definitely give it another go

No grass

Course has gotten to the unplayable stage.

I heard it has new owners- I hope they can bring it back. Fairways are 80% sand with large voids and holes that stray the golf cart and can twist an ankle.

Decent course for the $

People are friendly and good value for cost. The course is not in the best condition after a rare snowstorm in NW FL. Lots of hitting off dirt or tight lies on brown grass. Greens were decent but the small weeds make them a bit fuzzy. It is a challenging course - no water but tight fairways. Carts will shut down if you get even a little bit off the cart path which was frustrating. I would play it again though.

Great greens - other turf needs work

We have no problem with dormant fairways and rough. But course has way too many bare spots and runoff problems. Pace of play was also below par. Course has potential; but 35 bucks is about right - not 50.

Green were great. Fairways Goodnot very good.

Greens were in very good shape. Fairways were mostly not in winter shape. This is a hilly course and the rain cut ruts all over a lot of hilly fairway. For the price we got through Teeoff, it was a reasonably good deal.
