Course layout was fun and challenging. The greens were slow but consistent throughout the course. We thought it was a great course for the price we paid.

Unfriendly staff

Staff was rude and unhelpful, I had questions as it was my first time being there and using golf now but the only answer they would give me is contact golf now, not willing to work with people, the course was not great either

Good course

Nice course

Greens a little slow even though they were aerated a month ago, still had sand on them

Tough layout with a number of uphill shots but very pretty

Inexpensive and worth the money

Biggest downside no where to get a water or soda with the bar/restaurant closed at 930 when we teed off and 1130 when we made the turn

Nice vacation golf course. Prices are very reasonable. Course in decent shape. Recently aerated so greens were understandably slow and sandy.

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.
