Great condition.
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.
A course where you can score well with different clubs. Challenges with water and sand but usually not directly in the way.
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.
Better information and a super time
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!
Extremely good value
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.
Average links course
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.
great links course for 1st timers
this was a great course for the cost($15)but not more than $20
The course is wide open
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.
Excellent course.
Great condition. Very friendly staff. Always a pleasure playing there.
Best links style course around.
Although my score usually isnt very good here, love playing links style golf very different and challenging.
Decent course that plays fairly easy
The course is kept in fair to average condition. The course is tight with few trees. A good challenging course for the begginer level golfer.
All About the Greens
I played Blackheath earlier in the season and conditions were good. Don't know if the hot weather was the reason or poor mainenance, but the greens were the worst I've ever played on. They were full of bumps. To make matters worse, they put out a group every 4 minutes resulting in a 3 group pile up on the 2nd tee. It took over 5 hrs to play the round.
Good course excellent greens big and good speed
The issue with this course is lay-out. Tee boxes are very close to greens and other fairways. Course could be consider slightly dangerous!!!! Especially from the back tees. Great value course with varoius tee boxers for all. Whites are extremely short. Blue should be consider the men norm.
Links without an ocean
I play all over metro detroit but for some reason whenever i go to the heath i always get a little more excited.
Total links style course with large undulating greens that roll very true for a public course,and trust you will walk off a few scratching your head.there are no trees on the course(in play anyway) but the long fescue and heather can give a weak swinger some trouble. the fairways are very geanerous. but watch out for the bunkering they are placed in all the right spots. make sure to check out the greenside bunker on 10. its so deep it has stairs. one other thing is you get the high winds coming out over the hills and rochester rd witch can make things interesting (hope you got a knockdown in the bag).
Great Link Style Course
This is a great course for the money! It is link style and kept up very well. The course is challenging but in a good way. Intermediate golfers and very good golfers find this course fun and challenging to play. I would recommend this course to everyone!
