Black Mountain

Greens recently punched and sanded didn't help and will get better. The poor layout will not. Not sure how this course ever got a four star rating. I'm a former collegiate golfer and have played more than my share of quality courses. This should likely be a 3 star course at best.

Uncharacteristic

FIRST, GOLF NOW— You need to figure out how to let golfers know when these courses are under maintenance. The shop was prompt to inform us an hour before our tee time about aerated greens. The shop does not carry anything but tee times and The Green Tea Grille never opened due to a mystery involving the owner/operator. I’m sure this was an uncharacteristic experience for their players today BUT boy what a bad day for golf at Black Mountain.

Black Mountain

Course was not manicured, but for my first round of the year and playing with my novice wife it was a very good value. We took a cart but we could have walked. I’d recommend it for the cost.

Fun layout, great staff, poor conditions

We played on a kind of rainy day, but the course was in pretty bad shape. Fairways were average but the greens were bad. Very slow, a LOT of sand on them even though they aerated 2 months ago. Impossible to make a putt with the un-true speeds and cut. The tee boxes also need some work… some you can’t get a tee in them at all.

The layout is a blast and very challenging but fair. We will go back in the spring and hope the greens are doing better.

It has to be said, some of the nicest golf course folks work there. The guy in the pro shop was great. The staff in the snack house were amazingly friendly! Great experience in that way.

The course was in good shape. they aerated but filled in with sand. Some holes were challenging because you could not see where you needed to drive but had direction from Garmin. Overall we enjoyed the course and had fun. Lost a few balls.
