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!
Best ball with friends
Beautiful day with friends. Course in great shape but tough and long. Greens very fast. Pace of play really good.
Nice day with Senior friend
Course was in good shape except rough a bit high making it tough if off fairway. Greens running fast and pace of play slow at first but evened our after about 5 holes. Staff very understanding of elderly handicap friend and allowed for closer driving to greens. Tough and challenging course.
Quaint Irish-Cottage style clubhouse.
Driving up to the course, I was struck by how heavily wooded the area was and how quaint the clubhouse appeared, all covered with ivy. This was my only golf experience in Indiana, my 7th state on the quest to golf in all 50. Blackthorn did not disappoint. Beautiful course with hilly fairways and large, undulating greens. At times it felt as though the dense woods were closing in on the fairway. Several deer came out to check my shot and scurried back to discuss my form, I'm sure. On the 16th, a par 3, my two male playing partners disappeared up a path in a very heavily wooded area to tee off, luckily I could spot my tee box and see the stunning green positioned below. Most of the greens were quite challenging due to undulation.
Secluded in the woods, this course makes you feel miles from any development when in reality it is very close to civilization. Liked the drive-through barn. Happy to have made Blackthorn my Indiana course.
Five Stars!
Beautiful course for the time of year! Customer service top notch!
