Fun Course

Started well with a friendly greeting from the gentleman at the counter. I definitely needed the map he gave me to find the next hole a couple of times. I really struggled to read the greens, but they all rolled very well. I will definitely play again next time I'm in town! I did manage to birdie the par 6!

Good but not great

One 4some, playing REALLY slow held up 3 groups. If they added a Marshall to keep play moving it would make it more fun to play.

Black Mountain

Fun course but it was so slow, we waited every shot and this was a Thursday noon round. Many unmowed areas in which to lose your ball. Nice layout, ok conditions. Greens we're much slower than practice green. For the money though, it's hard to beat. Would pay more if the course was in better condition. I understand it's run by the city. They really need to spend a few dollars.

Ups and Downs

I really wanted to like this course more. The greens were well-maintained and rolled mostly fast and true. There were some areas that needed repair. The layout, especially on the back 9, was quite challenging and narrow. It kind of walked you through from easy to punishing, and there's even a par 6! The pro shop was mostly non-existent. We started behind a glacially slow string of players and waited a minimum of 5 minutes on every tee box all day. It really wore on us by the 3rd hour. Took a lot of the fun out of it. No one out keeping pace.

BMGC looking great!

We played Memorial Day and the course was busy, however pace of play was excellent. Tee to green the course was in very good shape. The Green Tee Grill was serving awesome handhelds and the staff was extremely helpful and courteous.

Highly recommend

A little outdated but totally worth it!

Seems like the facilities could use a little TLC and the course itself had some rough spots, like being in the fairway and it was either flooded or overgrown. Also around the greens the fringe had times where it was just so overgrown you might as well been in the rough but you are like 8 feet from the pin. Other than that amazing round, great staff, and awesome price point. Will definitely be back.

Pretty course

The course was fun too play some very wet spots which was understandable due to amount of rain that had fallen two days earlier. Ranger on course would of helped threesome in front of me would not let me join or pass which takes away some of the pace.

Black Mountain

Really good conditions. Played from blue tees, and the only thing that I could say was that the tee boxes had some tough angles. Do not miss playing this course. The views are beautiful.

Beautiful, challenging course

Very well maintained. Very tight and challenging. Lost more golf balls than I have in a long time. Thought the ranger had told me it was a nice short course. He must having been having fun as I found my first ever 700+ yard par 6. Most of the greens are blind, so it should go better on my next visit. Pace of play may be a challenge, fortunately they let me go off on 10 or I would have been behind two large groups that became one by the time I caught up with them again on the 6th hole toward the end of my day. Small restaurant on site.

Good course

Course was a little more difficult than the 127 slope rating from the Blue Tees. The Par 6 Hole #17 - 747 yards was great to play. Greens were slow but overall a very good value for $.

Much Improved

Hadn't played here since last fall. Considering time of year the course was in excellent condition. Greens rolled true and fast, fairways are in midsummer form, traps looked to be replenished and we're raked. Staff is always friendly and courteous. Looking forward to playing here again soon.
