always fun

Played there in July with all the hot weather and not much rain this year I was expecting the course to be dry but it wasn't course in great shape greens firm but you could hold them. pace got slow after about 12 holes they need to do a better job getting these golfers moving other than that everything good will play a few more times this year.

Great value

They book the tee times way too close, which can cause a backup on the course, and regularly does. I think they book them 4 minutes apart. Should be 6 at the least, anywhere.

The staff is ALWAYS friendly. I do like the layout and feel the course is very playable and fair.

Great course. Terrible pace

My tee time was 724 am on a Tuesday morning. There was already a wait on the first hole. Everyone was forced to go off on hole 10 and was backed up right away. The pace stayed slow till hole 12. I blame the starter/management for too tight of tee times or not staggering between hole 1 & 10. Other than that the course was in great shape for such a dry summer.

Slowest play ever

Do not play here on weekends. Slowest play ever experienced. So overbooked there wasn't enough carts. Finally got to 1st hole and 7 carts lined up. Quit after 4 holes and a couple hours. This happened twice now and will never go back. They book tee times every 6 minutes and just load the place up. No course management to keep the slow players moving. Fairways aren't bad but the greens are a mess. Full of ball marks, slow, and haven't been rolled all season would be my impression.

Blackheath Review

I played on Sunday, July 10th in the afternoon and our tee time was delayed 40 minutes due to an outing that didn't finish on time. They were out of carts. And, after we got started the pace was very slow which was surprising since we had a 40 minute delay to start.

Great Value Great Greens

Fun layout challenging but fair. Greens rolled great and held approaches despite overall dry conditions due to our lack of rain. Super price. Leaving some money on the table with minimal food and drink. Staff is friendly and helpful. We will go back!

LONG Day

Nice course...just FAR too slow. Had 3 groups quit on back nine due to waiting. STILL took 5-1/2 hrs to play! Too bad they didn't seem to care. Tee times are 6 minutes apart.

Great course poor management

This course plays 5-5.25 hours every nice day. I love the course but they are always backed up due to poor coordination at the first tee

Tee Time Backups

I enjoy playing this course. We arrived on time and found three groups ahead of us on the first tee. We ha a good 20 minute delay. Our booked tee time was 12:06. We talked to the three some in front of us and two players were supposed to be with us at 12:06, but joined a single that had a 12:00 tee time. That's six minutes!! 12:00 to 12:06. Six minutes between groups is not enough. I''ve heard this is their standard. I will not go back.

Good conditions. Pace was a little slow

Course was in good shape, well maintained. Was backed up from the start. Arrived early for tee time and still had to wait 15 or so minutes to tee off. In all it took an extra 45 minutes for the entire round.

Good value for the price

For $30, this course is a good value. This is the only links style course I'm aware in metro Detroit. I did enjoy the layout. Average conditions. Greens could be tricky.

Great course for a good value

It was nice booking from golfnow.com we enjoyed the nice day, greens and fairways were prepped sufficiently (with the exception of geese droppings every once in a while.) We were not rushed or delayed by the groups around us so the pace of play was pleasant, will definitely come back after playing here for the first time!

Beautiful April Day

Love this links-style course. In the Spring time the heather is cut short and the course plays easier. I have only played the front 9 but have heard the back 9 is awesome. Course always plays well, challenging greens especially on a hot day the ball can really take off on you.

Decent Course

The course was in good condition and had a great day. The clubhouse was a real let down. Wanted to go in after the round and have a beer and watch some college football. Went into the clubhouse and there wasn't a single TV on with any game and the clubhouse was absolutely bare.

Good Experience

Overall I go to play golf! If the course is in good shape and the cart gets me through a round I'm happy. Blackheath does that. No thrills but nice greens with lots off break. Putt well and you score.
