Blackheath Golf Club

blackheath is a challenging course yet a good place to get out on a nice day with friends.

this course surprised me. it is laid in the mid city area of Detroit, so i didn't expect much, but it was a good course to get out on and just play. not too challenging but still required some skill. greens were in nice shape which was par for the rest of the course. overall good course to get the guys out on the course for a day with friends

stay in play, heather rough will destroy your score, fairways and greens are in great shape

The course was in very good shape. The front nine plays more open than the back nine, but unfortunately they started us off the back. The greens were in great shape, rolling very true. Pace was a little slow but for a pseudo holiday not bad. The club house is just a glorified pole barn but if your there for the golf, that shouldn't bother you. All in all a good course to play, specially for the price.

Hole in one!!!!

Very happy and disappointed, the staff just said nice job take a scorecard and frame it. That's it? It was my first ever and I didn't know what to say or do. After I left and told some friends they said the course should have logged it, instead they did nothing. Oh well it was still a great feeling and I'll always remember it :)

Ranger was nice and took me into the clubhouse and was telling the guy however the counter guy did nothing at all..

I have been played at this course several times in the last few years. It is a nice links style course and is well kept.

Note of caution - some of the holes play real long !

My only concern is the backups that happen on hole 2 and 3 - hole 2 is a short par 4 (driveable) and hole 3 is a par 3 - I have always seen a lot of clogging happening at these holes which slows down the progress. My suggestion to the management is to swap the front 9 with the back 9 and vice versa - that will definitely speed up play and remove this clogging.

This time I also saw a lot of geese on the course - something needs to be done to remove them - they are a nuisance and make the course dirty.

if you like target golf once in a while, this is a good one to hit.
lot of somewhat blind tee shots so you wont be pulling out the driver every hole but if you play it smart on placement you can get a good score. greens and fairways are pretty undulated so you wont be hitting off flat ground most of the time but did make for some nice scenery

This is a very interesting golf course--it is really a true links style. It is difficult to play for first time because it has very unusual shot lines with blind shots and not so apparent hazards on several holes. Ideally one would be with someone who played there before to guide through those lines and hidden or semi-hidden perils and to advise "where to miss" (at least two of the par threes are bit of a bear to play and can be very penal if one misses the wrong way) . If one knows that then the course would be moderate difficulty as it has relatively wide fairways. The greens while not fast do not hold balls really well so the group had a lot of "roll-offs" on chips and pitches. Nevertheless, cost to course quality, it is very cost effective.

With four sets of tees, the foursome in front of us selected the 3rd (blue) tees and were holding us up a bit for the first three holes. Greens were freshly cut and held our approach shots. The fourth hole (when playing from the white) is less than 400 yards for a par five. Should have hit from before the water on this hole.
Most holes allow a little bit of spray but you can easily end up in another tee box. Never hit it into the sand, but workers were really fixing things up for the weekend including ranking the bunkers. All the rain this season made for a pretty thick rough but it also helped keep the fairways green and free from dead areas.
This was the first course I've broken 80 on and for the price, I'd recommend it to most anyone.

I really like this course. It's always in great shape. The greens roll nice. It's not too long or too difficult but if you hit it crooked, you pay the price. It's very fair for amateur golfers.

Great tee spacing for all types of golfers. I play bogey golf and usually play the white tees so as not to slow play. On good days I can play the blue tees with my son-in-law while his 2 buddies play the pro/black tees and have a great time. Consider Blackheath my 'Home' course and have never been disappointed. Recommended for everyone and all handicaps.

Very playable and fair links style course. Only negative is there are more than a few holes where you are in dangers way even on the tee box.

Even though it was cold and windy, we had a good time. Range was closed and we were forced to start on back 9 'due to leagues later on'.. this information could easily be posted to their website so there wasn't a surprise when we arrived. Marshall did a good job putting us (2some) out behind a 3 and ahead of a 4 as the 4 were dreadfully slow (a 3 hole gap opened behind us). For the money it was good track and shooting a 75 didn't hurt!

Snagged a tee time for like 11 bucks and sure glad I did. Course is really good shape with maintenance in action all over the course....Will be back this month.

I had a good experience at Blackheath. It was cold weather, however, the Hot deal made me so happy.

Blackheath is a good deal if you pay <=$25. Otherwise I would say it is worth skipping. Tee times are booked 5-6 minutes apart and due to this, you could be in for a lonnnng round on afternoons and weekends. Some of the starters out there rush you on the first tee as they are trying to get everyone off on-time, which never happens. Other than the pace of play, the course is scoreable and you can bomb it around out here. The course is short, if you aren't playing from the black tees. I always wonder why I never see anyone else playing from the blacks, with the exception of myself and the publinx teams. Black tees got some golf holes on them, with all the long par 4's usually into the wind. Good par 3's as well. Tee off first during the week and you will be satisfied.

this was a great course for the cost($15)but not more than $20

Because there are no trees, you can have people from another hole in your fairway a lot. Also because there were no trees, it was very windy. Lacks toilet facilities on the course. The course was in very good shape except the greens were aerated and the holes were not filled in so your ball would roll all over the place.

Great condition. Very friendly staff. Always a pleasure playing there.

Although my score usually isnt very good here, love playing links style golf very different and challenging.
