Best in SB if you ask me

Favorite course in the area. Yes. Warren is nice but this has an interesting and fun layout. Some great risk reward holes and shots. Holes 12-18 are amazing. If you’re in new buffalo. Skip Whittaker and take the ride here. Worth the 40mins gets a lot of play so it’s a little beat up but what course isn’t right now

Blackthorn

Greens are very fast and pure! Excellent condition. The overall price was $15-20 too high but they are trying to compete with Notre Dame course prices. Of course, everywhere is over priced these days!

Fun course with great conditions

The overall conditions of the course were very good, bunkers and greens were exceptional. The layout was enjoyable and more challenging on the back nine. The greens were relatively flat but ran true and quick.

Best course in the South Bend area

We travel up to ND games every few years and have played a few other courses. This one is so much fun! I highly recommend it. It was a little more expensive than usual, but It was still worth it. Great layout and so many fun holes. Amazing condition.

Blackthorn

Love the course. Greens were treated for winter making putting more difficult and the ball wouldn't stick. Overall, this is the best course in the area for the money. Have to play here more often.
