Blackheath Golf Club

The course is in good shape and fun to play. The forward tees are favorable for women golfers. My wife and I enjoyed the round.

Fun links style course... well maintained. There is some elevation as well..pretty cool for course around here

Mike in the pro shop is very friendly and kind.... The course is in great condition. Nice fast greens. Pace of play could have been a little quicker. However it was a Sunday at 2:30.

The golf course was very slow and the tee times where not manage good

People need to repair their divots on greens. Or the course needs to do it every evening/morning. Terrible green conditions. Other than that, course is great. Very slow play as well.

I played with a friend on a Saturday morning and we got paired up with a couple of guys. There was a huge backup at the first tee box because they were sending groups off every seven minutes. The starter was this guy with an English accent and when we were in the fairway ready to hit our second shot, he was yelling at us to 'hit the dang ball' from the tee box. As if there was anywhere for us to go. The group in front of us had just gotten off the green and he was yelling??? Ridiculous. It took us an hour to play the first two holes but then the groups spaced themselves out naturally as the day went on. The entire round took five hours so not terrible.
The course is always fun to play, but that starter made me pretty angry. I mean, show some respect for the game.

The course management was friendly, but apparently can't schedule very well.
Took three and a half hours to complete nine holes, so I quit at the turn. Staff was fully aware of the issue, but refused to make improvements to speed up play.

The course was in good shape and the greens were well maintained!

I enjoyed the course but we were getting harassed by a ranger a lot of the time to speed up our play, even though we always had to wait for the group in front of us. Seems like they could be better organized.

I found the course well maintained but too many fairways interfered with other fairways. Since this is a links course, there are no trees to separate fairways but there should be somethings to encourage more thoughtful positioning of shots.

It was disappointing that they paired 4 total strangers that booked on golfnow.com together, to form a foursome, regardless of tees that were being hit, and golfer skill levels. We were told that no twosomes would be permitted, yet on the course we encountered multiple twosomes, and even a group of eight! Must be different rules if you book with golfnow.com

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.
