Some Things Need Attention
Fairways and greens were in great shape. Tee boxes poor and tee marker placements also bad. Fun layout except for some of the forced carries with growth in the water.
Great Course
Had an outing at Blackheath and it was excellent. Mike did an excellent job of coordinating multiple tee times and the course was in excellent condition. A great time was had by all. Highly recommend Blackheath!
Good course with an awful pace of play
Not a bad course, but everything other than the layout and conditions were awful. I expect a wait on a Saturday with decent weather, but this went beyond what is normal or tolerable. Most holes had two groups waiting on the tee box ahead of us. We saw the beverage cart once but she was out of most things. The course lost their liquor license so beer is not an option. This was not advertised at check in.
Could be a fun course if not overbooked. We unfortunately left after #16 and 5 hours.
Wonderful Golf Course
Blackheath is one of my favorite golf courses in the metro-Detroit area.
The management here does a great job taking care of the greens and course conditions are typically very good to pristine even during the hot summer months.
They also do a great job managing league play without letting it impact individual golfers and/or groups.
My favorite time to golf here is during the evening hours. The crowd disappears and the scenery is absolutely beautiful….close to downtown Rochester but you wouldn't know it when out on the course surrounded by the nature and countryside.
I'm looking forward to my next round Blackheath and thank you to the management for always being extremely friendly and helpful.

Overbooked again
Blackheath used to be my favorite course in the area, but it changed this year. It's way too overbooked now. The only time I would try is early weekday mornings if I were to try again. Avoid weekends at all costs unless you're willing to spend well over 5 hours on a round.
Course is beautiful, and was in great shape, except some of the greens were pretty beat-up. Overbooked tee times, so it was a five our round, which I can live with, but we waited at the 1st tee for 35 minutes. Pro shop was very friendly.
Long, long, long round.
Great course, but so slow and backed up on every shot.
5 1/2 hours and we quit at 16.
Cource condition is pretty good
The cource condition is pretty good for all 18holes. But need to add the water and towel to clean up the ball at every hole.
Beautiful Course
I live in Orlando, FL. Michigan golf is better by far. This is just another example. The course is absolutely beautiful.
Everything else was just ok. Golf carts were horrible. I complained to the starter about my cart stuttering and moving slow. Asked if he could call the proshop to have another sent over. He told me to get it myself.
Everything goof about this course is in the actual course.
Carts
Course was in great shape, but there’s no beer/seltzers at the clubhouse. Also, the golf carts are slightly less than terrible.
Very well maintained course
Played at Blackheath many times and the staff is very friendly. The pace of play can be faster but overall a great course.
Play elsewhere
Clubhouse, carts, range, food, drinks, are all terrible.
Whomever owns this course puts the minimum into. The only reason to play the track was the cheap green fees
They are now up
Spend the extra 10 bucks to play somewhere worth your money
I've played here dozens of times over 15 years.
Not coming back until i hear of new ownership
Oh
But the greens were nice. Kudos to the greens keeper.
Open and challenging
Beautiful, hilly course with nice views. Fairways are open and there aren’t a lot of trees, but the course is still challenging with a ton of hills, sand traps and water. Really enjoy playing here and will definitely be back.
Open Links Style, Hilly, and Fun
Had fun at this Links style, hills course. Not super challenging but not easy either. Definitely want to play again.
Course etiquette
I have to start with Blackheath is a great track. Layout is amazing. Tough but score able in a lot of areas.
Now the bad for years everyone talks about how they enjoy Blackheat but the pace of play and on course conditions stop them from going back.
Trash left on the course ball marks continously not repaied on the greens in sad.
We have complained to management to up the green fee by $15 to $20 to remove trash golfers who come out to play poorly and damage the course.increased green fees will help better pace of play, eliminate trash golfers and give golfers a better on course experience.
Great course
The course was in excellent condition! The pace was a little slow even for a Sunday afternoon. (about 5hrs). There were many holes where golfers from other holes were hitting in your fairway which could have contributed to the pace of play. Not a course for a beginner golfer.
