Fantastic but difficult course
Beautiful, well kept course. Very challenging- greens were like glass. Will definitely play there again
Dont Miss This Course in South Bend
Challenging course in beautiful shape.
Helpful staff May feel rushed if you are a group of 4 & a twosome is playing behind you. Plan ahead since tee times fill up quickly.
Great course/ staff indifferent and rude
Loved the layout. Course in great shape. Greens were in excellent condition!
Showed up 30 minutes early to warm up. Pro was more interested in getting us tees off due to a noon outing. No offer to practice putting, chipping or practice balls.
At the turn, no food, no cooled beverages. Not soft drinks, or beer.
Staff not interested in selling us anything and was rude.
Would surely play again if they acted like they wanted or needed our business.
Too bad.
Great layout and challenging.
The course is in great shape. Greens run fast and roll well. Challenging without being too penal. Love the course.
Good course
We got a hot deal so it was well worth the $50, but the layout I found a tad lackluster. Even when I hit bad shots I likely found it, which isn’t bad IMO, just less challenging. Greens were decently tough with the pin placement we saw.
Great Course
Blackthorn has always been my favorite course in the area. The course is always in great condition with never any damage on the fairways/greens/etc. it is a joy as there is a wide variety of hole types with not much water to navigate around.
Great play
Course was in great conditions. Greens were fast and true. Great value at $50 on Golf Now. Will definitely be back.
Extremely SLOW PACE!
if you don't mind a 5 1/2 hour round then this course is for you. Never go as a twosome because no one will let you play through Beautiful, tough course but pace of play is agonizing
The guy that checked us is was very rude and unprofessional and was complaining about people constantly.
Tough as always
Blackthorn is a beautiful course that can be tough at times. The greens run fast and holes play long. Lots of bunkers and challenges with rolling fairways and some elevated greens as well. Nice day of golf. We also always see deer or wild turkeys.
Nice layout
Very nice course. Surprised at some fairways and greens no grass but overall nice experience
Always a treat!
Blackthorn is always in great shape and the staff is awesome
Greens were rolling!!
My Favorite course in South Bend
It's always a great time playing Blackthorn. I think it's one of the better courses in the South Bend area. I love playing it.
