Very solid short 9-hole course

Great value course for North side golf, par 33 over 9 holes is great practice for irons/wedges with 4 par-3's. Greens roll a little slow but have enough slopes to keep it enjoyable.

Great day out

The design of this course really ensures you don't bump into other golfers. The yellow tees are great for those who are still developing with a Driver.

Blown away

35 some years ago I shot 9 here nearly every day after work for $2.50a round, it was a cow pasture!

This place is great, carpet like greens, trees need trimming to help lower scores & smoother fun round.

Would play again when I'm back in the hood

I grew up 3 blocks away and It's been 20 years since I last played Black, forgot that the lack of water is easily replaced with challenging sand traps. Was surprised at how green the course was.
