Blackheath Golf Club

Great weekend price from golf now, course was in great condition despite the weather lately. Only suggestion would be the rangers should do a better job of monitoring slow play. Round took 4.5 hours which isn't terrible for a Sunday afternoon.

We played as a foursome on Memorial Day at 0900 so we were basically setting ourselves up for a miserably long round. I guess they could have coordinated tee times better since we teed off 20 mins after our scheduled time. Expect chaos on holidays at any course though. The course overall was in good shape, greens were solid. We were a little peeved that the cart girl skipped us, could've used a beer or two to compensate for the wait. I usually play here around 0630 on weekends and really enjoy the speed of the early weekend round.

Nice course and have enjoyed playing here. This time 5/26 which was holiday couse over-booked, Tee start was aprox 25 minutes late. Did not enjoy pace of play.

Found this course through GolfNow and was very pleasantly surprised with the challenge of this course close to home.

This is an open, fairly easy course to play. A decent value can often be found. Unfortunately, the course took on 6" of rain the night before we played (in the morning) and lots of it was under water, including one hole where they put in a temporary green. That's the nature of the course though with lots of lowlands. If it's been rainy, this place will be really wet. But in the heat of summer it will be baked because there are so few trees on the course. To call it a links course might help describe the layout, but it's not really a great links course as I know them.

A 2some for <$50 a good deal. Wide open so the wind definitely comes into play. A bit easier from the blue tees. Greens were in pretty good condition already, but the tee boxes need some TLC. Hot dogs $3.50 each a little high, but we got the last 2! We got stuck behind a 4some (we were 3) for 6 holes, so thankfully they were done after 9 holes. A great day with the boys. Just wish it was a bit closer to home.

A perfect course for a sunny no wind 75 degree day. A links feel but has some shade areas with surrounding woods but they do not come into play. Wind would make this course very difficult.
From the back tees, the course would be too much for a handicapper above 9. Go blue tee or white which is more of a senior tee. Approaches to greens have a high level of challenge. Greens are large and well maintained but not super fast.
Fun interesting course.

1st time user, will become a long time customer. We had a fantastic round of golf in under 4 hours

Wish I had played this course earlier in the season…as I would have played here at least half a dozen times by now. I am looking forward to playing here many more times to come.

Overall a nicely maintained course that offers a links style feel while not being overly difficult. I have played other links style courses in the area that cost more and are not nearly as nice. Will definitely be back

This is very open like Scotish style course with beatuiful trees around and open fairways.

I booked on golf now at the last minute. As has happened in the past, I had a discount code that was rejected for unknown reasons. This time it was a birthday code which shouldn't have so many restrictions but, alas, not able to use. I thought I was at least getting a good rate to justify the booking fee I paid but ended up paying the same as the guys ahead of me who were NOT golf now bookers. I like the convenience of searching for available tee times without a bunch of phone calls but wish I could count on consistent service. Also had trouble printing/emailing the confirmation.

Conditions, especially the greens are generally pretty good. There are a variety of holes and I use most of the clubs in my bag. Decision on the tees at #2 (short 4), #14 (short 4) and #17 (par 5) make things interesting, especially if the wind is in your face on #17. I play the blue tees as the whites are very, very short (<5400 yards).

Good course for the value, especially thru golfnow.com. Rolling, undulatating fairways can provide tricky lies but well placed shots will yield good scores. Has a real "links" look to it, but with regular watering or rain it still ends up being target golf, per usual. Clubhouse is nothing fancy, although just about anything is available including food and merchandise. Some reviewers mentioned slow-play, but that was not the case when we played (Labor Day). Overall, Blackheath is fun to play and is a worthwhile addition to your summer Metro Detroit golfing rotation.

My husband and I really enjoyed playing this course. It was in very good condition and the staff was friendly. I would recommend this course to my friends!

Links style course was very well maintained. Challenging but fair, holes that are very easy to score on. Greens fairly smooth, but a little soggy for my liking. I would reccommend that you play this course. Price was great thru golf now, however, regular prices were a little steep. Starters kept the pace of play pretty average, there were a few backups on the shorter holes.

I really enjoy Blackheath. You really can't get into much trouble here -- shared fairways, so if you spray the ball, you're still in play.

They could do a better job with their Rangers, but that's true of most golf courses these days.

The last two times I've played there I got hit by a golf ball (no one yelled "fore") -- thankfully, the ball hit the cart before it glanced off of my nose & lip.

Yesterday, there was a foresome that drove through our fairway and picked up our tee shots! Couldn't believe it -- some older gentlemen who never looked back to see three guys on the tee waiving our arms, yelling "hey, those are our balls!!".

Oh, we had a wonderful cart girl out there last week -- problem is, the only beer they sell is Bud Light, Miller Light, etc. Come on guys -- sell some good beer!

Still -- I really like the course and will keep coming back.

Its a nice course to go play.

Just wish it would play a little faster. Seems like most of the times I play this course its at least 5 .25 to 5.5 hours , one time 6 hours.

Id give it a higher overall rating if play time was faster

Played Black Heath for the 1st time, 8/11/13. After playing courses in northern Michigan as well as some in the Detroit area that look like courses up north, it was nice change to play Black Heath which is a more open links concept. It was in good condition. Glad that the heavier fescue really doesn't come into play unless you are very wild because it would have only added more time to an already lengthy round. Although we did'n't have any really really long waits, we did wait on just about every tee. Black Heath sends groups out every 8 minutes and with a very short par 4 2nd hole and a short par 3 3rd hole, you are waiting right from the beginning. I would definitely go back but it would have to be a day when a longer than usual round would be okay.

Enjoyable day greens are very nice, loved the rolling terrain. Would play again.
