Izatys Golf Resort - Black Brook Course

I play the course often and it’s kinda like a seesaw, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Course is being adequately watered in this drought but no rain is taking a toll on fairways, tee boxes and greens edges. Course needs an aerifier and dethatching so water can be absorbed. The small staff works its tail off but needs more tools. An equipment lease would be a huge first step. Course needs to be sprayed with herbicide to eliminate clover, dandelions and broadleaf.

Course needs a better watering program, have a rep in early and late and pound water on greens, tee boxes. About 1/3 of most greens are brown, cracked or dirt. The fairways are fine, sand traps playable, course needs to be sprayed with herbicide to get rid of clover.

Hasn’t had fairways mowed in nine days, roughs 3-6 inches long, tee boxes shot, gold tees have no corresponding reference oncard, no Bev cart, water pond in front of green on 5 hasn’t been fixed to drain in five years, broken down mower sitting on hole 2, no bump and run. Avoid!

Sand traps are filled with grass and weeds. It does make it easier to hit out of them but it looks horrendous.

Was not even the price I agree to pay. Was overcharged $48 also no beverage cart also hot day kids on course maybe should have let someone know. Also no outside food or beverage but we won't provide anything will not be going back ever!!!

Don’t waste your time or money. My wife and I arrived at 11:15am for a noon tee time hoping to grab a sandwich before the round, and were informed the that the grill/bar didn’t open until noon. We figured that we would grab something at the turn only to realize that that there is no turn on this course. Hole one goes out and you play 28 back to the club house. Not only is there no food, but there’s not a drop of drinking water to be found on the course!

The range and the course were also in rough shape - slightly better than a cow pasture but not by much. The gentleman that check us in was very polite, but his female partner/boss was a cold as the wind driven snow.

It’s worth noting that the entire resort is in a world of hurt. All of the amenities in the resort are in shambles and nonfunctional. This includes the pools, hot tub, tennis court, pickleball, restaurant, etc. They even have signs posted that there are issues between the owners and the HOA, and there shall be no questions addressed to the staff on these issues.

GolfNow should have posted some information stating the conditions of this course! This was a total waste of our time and money!!!

Super friendly staff, beautiful course layout, now with the new owners they'll take some time and money and put it into the overground sand traps that went neglected with the old owners. I can see this course extremely nice in the next year

With new owners hopefully putting money into the course so the can fix the overgrown sand traps and cart paths this course could be really nice in the next year or two

Course is very nice with a great layout. Just need some more upkeep on all the bunkers which they are starting to do now with the new owners, I think with the new owners investing in this course it will be a five star by next year

Last played @8 years ago when it was in decent shape. Also played a few times with a large group of buddies 15-20 years ago when it was 36 holes & vibrant. It's sad to see the condition of the resort all around. The course is in very rough shape & the bunkers are the worst I have ever seen.(no sand, lots of weeds & many rocks).

This course was clearly very popular in its day. The actual course is still pretty good, and they are working on repairs, but…. there is so much potential here, it’s sad to see it not being used. Just 5 miles or less off of 169, I would recommend the course to anyone that is not faint of heart, there are no “easy”” holes. The variation on every hole was so worth it. Spectacular design. I hope it gets back to where it was.

Sand traps were filled with dandelions and other weeds.

Course was not in very nice shape.

Overall course layout was fun and challenging. The bunkers are more like wasteland now, looks like they haven’t been touched in years.

Course lacks maintenance, bunkers are full of weeds and look like they haven’t been cared for in years. Fairway grass was long and the greens were in rough shape, some winter kill but some looked like they just are not maintained. Fun course though.

Biggest sore are their sand traps. Completely neglected to the point weeds are taking over 75% of them. There are sink holes in various places including on the green! Speaking of greens they had many dead areas and extremely slow. I winder if this course may close because it appears to be dying.

This course is worth $23 with cart for a round in its current state- long fairway grass, longer rough. Greens pretty good but slow. I was told a couple mowers were broken down so everything is shaggy. Hopefully they get them fixed for busy season!

Beautiful scenery, great layout.

We had an excellent time golfing. We caught another group after about six holes and they were kind enough to let us play through. The fairways and greens were in great condition. This course was very challenging but quite enjoyable.
