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.
Worth playing
Due to C19 tha staff was limited but friendly. Senior tees play a bit long. Above average heat and extra irrigation made the fairways and greens inconsistent. Longer then average walks from cart parking to tees and greens with several steep hills.
Top Course in Michiana
Course was in excellent condition. Fairways in maculant condition. Every green top notch. What a course!

Enjoyed the course very much, extremely challenging!
Excellent course
Course was just down right beautiful pair that with a great price deal from GolfNow. I haven’t play Blackthorn in many years, maybe 10-15. We will be back for sure.
Foursome fun
Course in great shape and challenging as always. Not very busy so we had great time and were able to enjoy a great day of golf!
Good day
The course was in excellent shape. Staff was friendly. Pace of play was good. Overall a great day was had and I would certainly play there again.
Blackthorn is one of our favorites to come play! Well worth the drive if you're coming from out of town. Great staff that matches a great golf course. Go play blackthorn!
