Great day
We had a foursome today. Perfect weather. Scores did not reflect how much fun we had. Still a tough layout for us, but enjoyed it just the same.
Dishonest
I wouldn't recommend this course until the owners are more respectful in honoring their commitments to their green fees and specials. They have cheated myself and my foursome out of games we have paid for, claiming they are new owners and will not honor the previous owners contracts. I only went there because my nephew from out of town wanted to play it. As for me, I strongly urge the public not to trust what you hear from this course regarding prices for a round of golf. They are dishonest, rude and untrustworthy.
Decent Course
Staff were friendly and accommodating. The course was in decent shape with the exception of the rough, it was so long it was impossible to find a ball. A few of the greens were also in need of some work. Still, a great value for the hot deal paid.
Uh-Oh!!!!
First, let me say I have played this golf course hundreds of times over the last 40 years. I love the layout and the old style course. I haven't seen it in such poor condition since the last time they filed for bankruptcy (about 15 years ago). We did have horrible weather the day before, but the mgt had no one out on the course to cleanup. This however wasn't the only problem, disease on some greens, weeds in rough and fairways, patchy grass mixed in with the bent. It was painful to see. Please management, do something before it is too late!
The course was challenging and had interesting holes.
Everything was very nice, from the person in the pro shop, the course and golfing and the waitstaff and food and beverage after.
Course Should Have Been Closed
HEAVY STORMS, up to a foot of standing water in areas usually dry . ALL bunkers with water. They still put groups out with half the holes on both sides closed. Paid for 18, played much less, it was a total cluster and tore up the course besides. Groups would play any hole they wanted and cut in front of you. There was no uniform pace of play, just play any hole that looked open. Then management complained we were playing a hole that was closed. This particular hole 16 is on the side of a 60' elevated ridge and was the driest hole we played, high and dry where most weren't. VERY disappointed in the way new owners manage this great old track, they beat it up.
Omg
After driving over an hour to make our time time, we were greeted with 4 groups on the first tee. It seems a group of locals like to play at the same time as our tee time. And how ever many of them show up, all get to play at our tee time. I could go on and on about this quirky course, but I think I've said enough
Hard Greens
Overall course condition was just fair. A little sparse on some tees and fairways. Biggest issue were the greens. Very firm, balls rolling a long way, often hitting short of the pin and rolling across and off the greens even when hitting wedges.
Best I've seen the course in years
The new owner has definitely made improvements. Club has new golf carts and bag drop area. I've never seen the course in better condition since it became public many years ago. Course conditions were excellent. Greens were fast, fairways mowed, and rough in great condition. They have trimmed many of the big trees and fertilized the entire golf course and it shows. Highly recommend playing this course because there is no better value for playing a top notch layout than Black River.
First time
