Good price, but a 6 hour round

Middle of the day on Labor Day had us waiting 15-20 mins on the front 9 for each hole. Pace of play was awful for a course like this. Back 9 played much quicker but that was 3 hours after we started the front. Will be tough for me to come back.

Greenskeeper is the best

Great course - I’ve gotta say, the Greenskeeper is killing it out there with manicured fairways and greens. Feels like you can putt from 30 yards off the green.

Pin Placements

On 08/01/2021 the green sleeper got his revenge. I never saw so many tough pin locations. It was very challenging. I really enjoyed my round.

Hidden Gem

I had played Black Heath about 15 years ago and had an enjoyable round of golf and although the course was young, it had great potential to mature into something special. I hadn’t played the course since, but when I had people visiting from out of town and was looking for something reasonable with available tee times that would work for me, I picked Black Heath hoping it would be the right combination of quality golf at a great value. It proved to be a great choice and made for a great day of golf! My group consisted of both novice and experienced low handicap players. Everyone absolutely loved the course, layout and condition of the course! Now the clubhouse and amenities are nothing to write home about, which probably accounts the incredibly reasonable price, but the staff is friendly, courteous and helpful! This might be the best hidden gem in southeast Michigan! I highly recommend golfers of all levels to give this course a try, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Painful!

We played on a Thursday at 11:30 p.m. There were 2 groups on the tee box when we got to it (we were on time) and things got slower from there. We waited on every shot and every hole. There were no rangers telling groups to play faster. It took well over 5 hours to finish.

Good solid course.

Fun course. Greens are beautiful. Fairways and rough look great as well. Some long rough in spots that make it challenging. Overall great course.

Great value

This is a solid golf course in above par conditions consistently, staff is awesome, and best of all price is always reasonable. Sure the clubhouse isn’t much to look at it but were here to golf.
