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.

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.

wet, slow and bumpy

A few years ago, this course was worth the drive time from Savannah. Since many of the trees have been removed, the course lost its out in the woods feel. The once pristine greens and tee boxes are now in duress making putting with a wedge as high probability as using your putter. The cart paths have been mangled by root systems which is unavoidable, but can be repaired. They are pretty brutal right now, I'm sure causing damage to the carts. Honestly, walking would have been much more pleasurable. Still, the layout is fun and challenging, and the staff has always been great. I truly hope the conditions get back to where they once were.

No warning

I made a tee time for a foursome on 3/17 for 3/20. We all had played the course several times over the last few years and it was always in decent shape. On this day though, the greens were horrible. They had been punched within the last few weeks but that was not the problem. With two exceptions, they were all sand. Very little grass was visible on the greens. Also, the fairways had not been cut in many days and were overgrown with poa annua. None of this information was provided when I made the tee time nor when we checked in and paid full greens fees. When one of our group went to the pro shop to complain after the round, the guy basically blew him off saying "if the greens had been in good shape would you have come in here?" We won't be back since there are a lot of very nice courses within the 45 minute drive it took us to get there.

Greens are bad

A few years ago, this course was worth driving to for the greens. Now they are bad. The trees are all cut down which originally defined holes 1 and 8. I will not make the trip again,

Not A Bad Course

Tees have no grass. Greens under repair. Cart paths need SERIOUS fixing. Condition of fairways OK for this time of year. A lot of water but mostly doesn't come into play from the whites as long as shots are hit well. Bunkers need better care.

Course dries well after big rains!

Course has a lot of character and memorable holes. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and accommodating!

We played after a big rain that drove the locals inside. Was wet, but then dried very well. Fair test of golf.
Wish GN would morph back to the GN of old, with loyalty based fees instead of the sneaky $3.49 they are charging now....

Great golf course.

Personnel was courteous. Ground crew helped me find my lost cell phone on the course very quickly.
Course is in excellent condition. Greens look newly sanded and seeded in some areas, disrupting putts but who cares with a course as nice as this.

Played for $15.00

Course was nice overall. Only complaint was the putting greens. They weren't in very good shape, but for $15.00 I'll play it over and over again

Excellent Course, recent major improvements

My family and I frequently visit The Black Creek Golf Club. Some of us are avid golfers, some us are not. Nevertheless, this little jewel is so very welcoming, relaxing, and beautiful that we always keep ourselves apprised of all of the family-friendly events (for golfers and non-golfers!) This has always been a great little golf course, but, in 2014, under new management, this course underwent some major improvements. We were there, most recently, for this 4th of July festivities. My husband played in the Red-White-Blue Golf tournament early in the day while the kids and I (and many other families) hung out in the family-friendly grill, enjoyed the bouncy-house for the kids, and feeding the turtles and large carp in the lagoon near the pro-shop. At dark, there was an extraordinary fireworks display. During all of this, a local band (top notch band, I must add) was rocking out with some good old tunes while the adults and kids as well danced and sang along. The staff in the pro-shop and the restaurant welcomes everyone with open arms, attention to detail, and superior service. Unlike some golf clubs, Black Creek is, again, very family-friendly. The guys in the pro shop (Jason, Tom, Mike and Dan) and sweet Gretchen (the newest and most beautiful addition to the previously all-male crew) are eager and enthusiastic about helping anyone, but especially the youths, to learn the game, improve their game, and hone their skills. They have a new chef, and she and her crew are fantastic! There's a lot of goodies for the kids to choose from and the adults can choose from a variety of appetizers, adult beverages, light meals or giant juicy steaks and a variety of seafood options...and all at a very reasonable family-friendly price.
For those who are strictly in love with the great game of golf, you will Not be disappointed in the course. It is beautiful and well-tended. I cannot say enough good things about our Black Creek experiences. I can say that they claim they're planning on even more improvements and activities, but it is difficult to imagine how it could be any better. Thank you, Black Creek, for providing such a wonderful sanctuary for golfing enthusiasts and a family-friendly atmosphere for us.

Yelling at a Veteran with Anxiety

I had booked to play as a single purposely because I'm a novice at golf After the ninth hole the Marshall tried to pair me up with people I didn't know. I didn't want to so he yelled at me. I'm a veteran with Anxiety problems. After my round was over I went inside to retrieve a club I had left on the course. I asked for the club. All he could ask was why I was stomping on his hole. I tried to explain. But all he seemed to care about was how I stomped on his green. Again I tried to explain I was trying to rattle the ball that had landed on the edge of the cup. I said if I offended you I apologize. I am a veteran with anxiety issues. He said "before you come back I suggest you get a book on golf ettiquette." He also said the course reserves the right to pair anyone. Having a single person play takes up a slot where others could play too.
I replied I won't be back. Apparently this course doesn't support or know of the USGA initiative to help us vets with anxiety through golf.
I go to the course to have fun. This person took it way too serious.and ruined my day.

NICE COURSE

The course is in pretty good shape, the greens are still really slow. The counter guy is a tool. He doesn't like people to use the Golfnow cheap tee time. We stopped by the restaurant at the turn, it was closed like almost every other time I've played.
