Black Creek Golf Club
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.

Terrible!!!!
First time and last time...... Course layout was confusing. It seemed like they had made up cart paths all over the course, not very good for a first timer. Greens rolled like fairways. Very slow. Fairways not mowed. Hard to,find grass on the tee boxes. My back is killing me. Fairways bumpy and cart so paths terrible. Best weather day wasted.
So many leaves in fairway, actually lost couldn't find my ball. Played early, not a worker to be found. Not understanding the lack of Maintenance.
For Brian Harmon to have two signed tour bags and a photo of his first win on the wall, I thought I was in for a good day. Not the case. Need ALOT of work
Waste of time!
This course is in horrible shape. The greens are slow bumpy and just in bad condition. The layout only makes how bad the conditions are even worse. Very disappointed with the 4 star rating this course has on golf advisor as well. ..... Wtf
Good course for the money
Course is improving greens were in good shape for the time of year. Good layout for the average golfer. Was told they were not going to use Golf Now anymore due to difficulty of getting paid.
Had a great time
Everything went ok, but the golf pro told us that they no longer involved with golf now and the price was different from what we paid .
GREAT ROUND!
Very nice course. Friendly staff. New electric carts. Very nice restaurant & bar. Good food at reasonable price. Perfect weather. What more could you ask?
Not coming back
I booked my round on military tee times. Once we got to the course we were told that they no longer accept Golf now but they would let us play this time. They said that golf now had been told 2 weeks ago to stop booking times thru them. Since they no longer accept military tee times I will not be going back.
Great Value
Greens in good shape, tee boxes need some work. Fun and Fair course, will play again and again.
A nice play
Second time to play and wasn't disappointed. Course isn't long but has enough challenges for all. Tees need a little care but overall the course is in great shape. Great rate made this a great play.
Nice round
Used to play regularly there but have moved away. Paths were broken up in places and overgrown particularly around the 12th green. We enjoyed it and will likely play there again periodically.
Do not recommend
This was the "second" time in 2 months that I played this course. First time the greens had been sanded and there was more sand than grass. Second time, the course has 9 holes shut down due to improvements and the greens are "hairy" and not well kept. I got both deals as HOT deals and feel I was short changed. This is cow pasture golf on a good day. Will not return no matter how big of a hot deal golfnow gives!!
Hot Deal Only!!!
This course is in horrible condition right now. 2 of the greens have been replanted with sod and the ball will not roll. This course at best should be considered to be a city course right now due to the conditions and I would not recommend paying full price for a round of golf. The course has potential to be a spectacular trek through the woods but the management needs to get some stuff done around there... bring a 4 wheel drive golf cart because it is a bumpy ride through most of the course. I will be back again but will not pay more than $15 to golf here...
Terrible shape, course should have provided a disclaimer.
This was my second time playing Black Creek. The first was a little over 6 months ago and the course back then was in great shape. This time around unfortunately, it was absolutely terrible. Some of the greens and tee boxes were simply unplayable. The course needs to provide customers with a disclaimer or a refund. I did not book last week's tee time via Golfnow and did not ask about a refund because I was so discouraged I simply wanted to just leave. The 18th and 9th greens were in good condition and they are conveniently located on either side of the club house. I doubt that managment would intentionally deceive people, but why are they able to keep those 2 greens in good shape and the other 16 like sand boxes? The cart paths need to be completely re-paved as well. It's too bad, because this used to be such a nice course to play. (No knock on the staff, always professional and friendly)
Black Creek GC Review
Fairways and overall GC condition is in average shape but the greens are in very poor condition. Almost impossible to put, except greens # 9, 18 and one or two more that are not in that bad of a condition.
Poor Conditions
This course used to be in excellent condition and always enjoyed playing here. Our recent round was a disappointment as every green was in terrible shape.
For $10 why not?
I'd only give the course two stars. The greens were horrible with very little grass on them. The fairways were in ok shape. For $10 though why not play it's cheap.
skip it till the greens are fixed
This is a nice course layout but the greens are in horrible shape. I will not play it again until they have puttable greens
Had a very good time
I really enjoyed my round. This course is nicely laid out and fair for the average weekend hacker. If you play the blue tees it could be quite challenging. Tee boxes can use some work but that didn't affect their functionality. The fairways were great. Really nice. The greens were going thru a bit of maintenance this time but this first time I played they were great so I think they'll be good again in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to returning soon.
