About
Black Creek Golf Club is an 18-hole, championship course that is conveniently situated less than an hour from Savannah. The course sprawls across acres of rolling countryside, surrounded by nothing but lush meadows and hills, providing the round with peaceful seclusion. The layout is player friendly enough for all skill levels and the blue tees are enough of a challenge for more advanced players. The front nine has a wide-open links-style layout that provides an interesting contrast to the back nine, which is characterized by tree-lined, narrow fairways. The greens are large and undulating and sometimes framed with strategically placed bunkers. The golf course winds through scenic coastal marshes and wetlands, which come into play on 13 holes. There is even an island green on Black Creek Golf Club's signature hole, the par-3 15th.

Greens and Tees need a lot of work
I looked at past reviews prior to booking a tee time and the reviews said course was in great shape just days before playing. That was not the case. Greens were average 85% bare with inconsistent grass growth and putting was a nightmare on some of the greens. Even the tee boxes were at times with no grass. There were no divots being repaired either so that only added to rough greens. Had a tee time set but that didn't matter as anyone could start when ever they wanted to so big time bottleneck to start the round, even though I expected the course to be busy with the holiday weekend. Overall the course layout was nice but the course is in big need of water and maintenance.
Things have changed
Its been a couple of years since I played this course but a lot has changed since. Tree clearing and tee box additions along with the exterior of the club house renovated looks nice. For the amount I payed to play this course I will play it again. If I were to give some constructive criticism please spend a little more time prepping the bunkers and move the tees up or back a little more often so the tee boxes can regrow the divots.
golf with my buddies
other than the 15th hole the greens are in really good shape
i like this course
Great Course
This Course is Great! Greens are looking great and the work that’s been done is impressive.
Confusing lay out, rough condition
Saw this course with an overall 4 star rating...no idea how. The front 9 was ok, but patchy greens. The cart path looks like it is 30 years old and is more rubble than path. Also. It disappears in large parts. At the turn, the bar said it was on a 45 minute wait, so no chance for a quick bite.
Back 9 cars path and greens were even worse. The signage is bad which makes the already complicated layout even harder to follow. On the 15th hole they were cutting down trees and fixing a broken bridge. The workers would courteously shut off their saw while you hit. If you enjoy a gallery of people waiting with power tools, this is your hole. Course would have played better if they looped you on the front 9 twice while they continue what I hope are extensive renovations.
If this course were massively renovated, the layout and design could deliver a fun round, but that is probably years away and I will not be back to see.
Course conditions
They still have a lot of work to get their greens back, but the course is a player friendly one and enjoyable to play. They are working on the course and we did not mind making some changes.
We really had an excellent lunch at the clubhouse and prices were good (food was even better).
I will come back again
A windy day.
First time here, liked the course layout, was disappointed in the amenities. There was a bathroom on the course, but unfortunately there wasn’t a beverage cart. Only 3 or 4 coolers around the course. Greens were nice, held shots well. Fairways were a little thin in the runoff areas, but otherwise in good shape. Bunkers need sand, a lot of it. Liked the course, will be back at some point.
The Course is Playable
The practice green is in the process of being replaced. A few greens need some work especially on the back.
Better than most in the area
After playing Crosswinds and Southbridge in recent weeks, I had to find a course with grass on the greens. Black Creek has steadily improved and the conditions are good for this time of the year. I’ll go back to the other courses once they have drier weather and get their greens back.
Nice day
Course coming along well. Greens are beginning to shape up. Some fairway and bunker repairs are done. Generally course is in good shape.
hidden gem
nice layout lots of water, new putting green being built, lots of improvements being made very pretty less than hour from HHI,SC.
Nice day, a little crowded
Lots of players lined up when we got there. We were about 45 min early and I asked about going out on 10 as there we’re probably 20 players ahead of us. Pro shop said “ no, you have to wait your turn.”. We did and the round was pretty slow. Waited on a lot of tee boxes for two groups ahead of us to clear the green, then had to wait for the group ahead of us who were held up by the slow first foursome.
This group has been here before and every time they slow e everything down. Course in good shape but spent a lot of time sitting and waiting.
