super greens
I enjoyed my round at Blackheath very, very much! From tee to green it was a challenging and the course was in great shape!!!!
Course Condition
I have been playing Blackheath a couple of times per year for about 5 years. The course is absolutely in the best condition I have ever seen especially for a public access facility. The greens were a perfect speed with no bare spots. Fariway's were outstanding and the bunkers had been raked. I had an average round and that is the only thing that wasn't near perfect at Blackheath on July 21, 2014.
difficult greens
tee time was very early morning & there was still fog covering the course, so our tee time got pushed back as there were many groups on the first tee. the fog made it very difficult & the greens changed dramatically during the round as the moisture evaporated. nice course with interesting layout. the course is wide open as there are no trees apart from along the property line. will play again
A true "grip it and rip it" style course.
This is a great, rather stress-free course to take driver out on nearly every single hole and let the big dog eat! It seems kind of rare (at least the courses I usually play in Metro Detroit/SE MI) to have literally a wide open golf course with no trees. It's liberating to be able to swing for the fences with driver knowing you can miss it a fairway either way and still have a shortish shot at the green. Conditions here tend to be a little bit wet, or even soggy if it's rained in the past week or 2, since it sits in a bit of a bowl. Other than than, the greens are decently smooth and surprisingly quick for being so soft. This course should always be on your short list if you're looking for an affordable, easy-going round with your buddies. Oh, one more thing, I think it's hole #10 that has a cavernously deep bunker back-left of the green. A.) DON'T HIT IT THERE, and B.) if you won't be holding up groups behind you, it's fun to try at least once to throw a ball down there and see if you can hit it out. It's easily the deepest bunker I've ever seen, probably about 12 ft deep or more, no joke.
Busy but fun day
The course was busy but as got off on time. Fairways are forgiving if you know where to miss. Greens are in good condition. Had lots of fun.
Great Links course
This course is in great shape, well maintained fairways and huge greens. We played from the tips (6700 yards) and it's quite challenging. The course has 3 tees to suit individual game. II was told that the course has a new owner who also owns Glaciers Golf Club and Wabeek Country Club, they are spending money to make it even better.
Blackheath good course
The course was in great shape. Pace of play could ave been better. Got stuck behind a outing so we waited 5 to 10 min. to hit on every hold
Challenging greens
Course is in very nice shape. The fairways are well manicured. The greens can be very difficult if your on the wrong side of the hole.
Great links course
Wide open.lets you work on all parts of your game. Great condition and fast play.
Phil finally won!
.course was immaculate. greens and fairways in beautiful condition. lots of interesting holes & elevation changes. No problems with rangers, pace of play etc. Excellent value through Golf Now.
good experience
overall a good experience. Went off ther back nine first which was a bit unusual. Played as a twosome at 7:30 AM and finished in just over 3 hours which was a nice change. Course was in decent shape - greens were in excellent shape considering the winter we had and what some of the other courses look like. The only minor issue I had was the the fairways were freshly cut and there where clumps of grass all over the place. By the end of the round I saw them getting rid of the clumps with a rope strung between two carts so I am sure it was fine for the rest of the day
Very nice
Course was in great condition. Course is relatively easy although greens were small and hard to stick. Very little long iron play...mostly drives to short irons and chips.
It's a fun, links course worth a try.
Fun Course
Played the course after plenty of rain, and it drains well. Tee shots are not difficult, but greens are protected and fun to putt. One of my top 10 public courses in Metro Detroit. Only downside is there's not really a clubhouse... more of a golfers fort.
This course is fun
A good course for the money. A links style course thats is pretty open, but with a lot of hills.
Nice links style course
30 dollars on Father'sDay. I would have paid another 20. Greens and fairways in great shape. Player friendly for the most part.
excellent fairway grass
This golf course is very well maintained, Nice fairway grass made us to hit the ball better. Also rough area around the green is well arranged. We've enjoyed the game.
Good time for the right price
I would recommend Blackheath when you can get out there at the right time and at the right price.
This was a Sunday mid afternoon , beautiful day but slow. Nothing out of the ordinary for public course weekend in the area, but certainly not fast and that equals a 5 hour round...
Bring food with you as the hot dogs are self serve and were possibly spinning in the machine since the mid 2004...
Course was in good shape and can play mildly to challenging with tee selection.
As stated in the beginning, if you get the right price and the right time to limit then overall round to closer to 4 hours it's worth a trip.
Good
I am no golf expert, but thought this course was a good, not great, course. It's a different style of course. I like to "get away" when I golf. I like the tree's and the country setting. On this course there are no tree's, so you can see everyone else all of the time. Not a bad thing, just different.
The course was in good shape. Most holes you can see the hazards or where the fairway breaks, so you can choose clubs and shots wisely. I golfed my best ever here, so not sure if I was having a good day or if the course is just easier.
