Blackberry Oaks Golf Club

This course has a great view. The Tree lines and the river flowing through the course is very rare in this area.

Well maintained course with plenty of challenges and risk/reward situations. Friendly and accommodating staff

Course is in excellent condition, challenging course that can be scored on if you can control your ball. Greens roll true, not too fast medium difficulty for putting. Lots of well placed hazards throughout the course. Shot an 83 on Wednesday.

This coarse has a nice layout with morewater thanaverage. The fairways were beaten up.

Course was in nice shape. Nice pace on greens, decent bunkers with enough sand, good amount of water hazards to negotiate. I played with a friend mid morning on a Thursday and we played 18 holes in just about 3 hours... so great pace of play. Not real long (6300 from tips), but long enough. Course crew was very courteous, shut off lawnmowers until you were done hitting, moved way off greens when we were in position for our approach shots, even pointed out an errant shot we could not find. Gentlemen at desk in Pro Shop could have been a little more friendly, but no big deal. First time I played this course but already making plans to go back again.

Course played very well for fall. I had tr course to myself until I caught up to a senior tournament.

What a gem this is. It's a bit far from Chicago but we paid only $34 in September and probably could not find a better deal for a course of this caliber anywhere. The greens and fairways were in excellent shape. The course is quite challenging where you have to shape your shots, bunkers protecting the front of greens, and water and ravines where you think there are none. We struggled the first time we played here not knowing the course but would definitely come back. It's a short course, only about 6500 yards from the tips with a slope rating of 134,, but if this were 500 yards longer it would be a beast at 140 or over.

Enjoyed playing this course. Several very interesting holes. Fairways and greens well maintained, some bunkers need attention. Pro Shop staff very efficient. Overall, pleasant experience.

The layout is great, course is in good shape and a must play if you're in the area.

Course is beautiful and very charming. Lush and green with Blackberry Creek winding throughout.
Only drawback is the numerous single golfers that are allowed out...they fly through the course making it necessary for groups to constantly be run down from behind. Maybe better that on weekends, a starter should be out there putting all of these single players into foursomes.
Also no rangers. That being said, everyone should get out to Blackberry Oaks at least once. You will be glad you did.

While play is slower than I am used to, it was Sunday afternoon and pushing 90 degrees so I wasn't in a big hurry. The course is interesting enough to make me think off the T instead of just bombing drivers.
Fairways are well kept. (stay out of the rough, its long , and easily hides a ball). Slopes on average speed greens are gradual and easily misread leaving many 4 to 6 footers for par.
They provide a nice practice range and lessons from Chad Johansen , inventor of a unique putting aid.

We were booked in the middle of two ongoing events, a high school qualification round and an outing. We were told to tee off on the back 9 with 5 foursomes in front of us. When we got there we were told by one of the students, that he was told to tell us to go to the 13th hole. The last foursome of the outing was still on that green when we arrived there.
It took 35 minutes before we tee'd off. It then took another 2 hours to play four holes, due to over indulgence within the outing, and ineffective rangers there apparently for appearance only! Management was abrupt, definitely had an attitude, and never offered compensation, or even an apology. We threw in the towel after 4 holes.

Well maintained with good greens. Very good value. On the play list every year.

Enjoyable course to play. Only 6400 yards from the tips makes you seem like a big hitter. Playing the course for the first time, I found it easy to hit through fairways and into the many creeks that wind through the course. It reminded me of playing a resort course where you have to play "target" golf
on some holes. Enjoyable none the less.

Great course, currency staff....course is challenging, but not so difficult that it takes away from the fun.

Greens were a bit beat up. Pace of play was ATROCIOUS. There really needs to be a ranger on course making sure people are keeping pace. Did not see a ranger even once. There was one group that was 2.5 holes behind, and holding EVERYONE behind them up. Waited an average of 5-10 minutes between shots. At one point, waited 12 minutes to hit my second shot.

BEEN THERE TWICE AND PLAN ON GOING BACK MANY TIMES. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. I'M A BEGINNER TO INTERMEDIATE GOLFER AND WOULD LIKE TO GET THERE A COUPLE TIMES, OR MORE, A MONTH NOW.

Blackberry Oak is one of those hidden gems in the western suburbs that most people have never had exposure to. Though not long in yardage it is a challenge to the low handicapper with challenging greens and course character. The fairways are some of the best I've played (bent grass) and the course is well manicured and appeals to your aesthetic sensibilities. I will continue to play this course and recommend it to others who enjoy great conditions and challenge.

Wonderful day, conditions terrific, it really felt like we had the course to ourselves. Short, but challenging, with a great deal of water to avoid. Greens were in fantastic shape, probably could have mowed even a bit tighter.

fairways,greens and all around course was great.also tee boxes were average.staff was good.would tell anyone to play course
