Pace of Play

They need a sign that says 0-5 Handicap (BLUE); 5-15 (WHITE); 15+ (RED)...too many folks playing from the wrong tees which bogged down the pace of play

Absolutely terrible

The greens and quite a few of the tee boxes also were full of sand. Obviously this is common practice in the fall months but staff was completely oblivious or felt no need to make us aware of the conditions before starting our round.

Mountain Gem

First time playing Black Mountain GC and we found it to be very enjoyable! Despite the greens being aerated just nine days prior, they were surprisingly well on their way to being healed up. We’re looking forward to playing again when the greens are at their best and the rhododendrons are in full bloom! Fun to experience the par 6, 747 yard 17th hole! The food at the Green Tee Grille was delicious and we hear the breakfast should not be missed! We’ll be back soon!

Aerated greens

I love this Donald Ross gem. My summer home course. Played 9/29 almost 2 weeks after aeration and greens still sandy and slow. I would wait another week before playing. Other than that great place to play.

SAND

This course is always one of my favorites but they really messed up this time when they top dressed the greens. The sand was thick and heavy on the greens. I have played here before after top dressing and conditions were not unplayable like this time. They need to look at their procedures for the future.

Beach on Greens

Tee boxes poorly managed, fairways okay, greens were horrible given that the course recently top dressed them with so much sand that putting was impossible without using a hybrid.....too bad as the layout is nice.

Not good experience at all

The sand that was put on the greens!! OMG!! That person needs to be fired. It was thick, uneven, didn't even go to the outer edges.. waste of time golfing there because once on the green you would just pick up your ball and go to the next hole! Not able to even keep score. Will never go back and will not recommend. Also when I checked it the man behind the counter was not friendly and never engaged other than a quick name and pointed to golf carts and went right back to eating and watching TV.

Sand on greens

The course was great overall except for the greens. Once on the greens, it was like putting out of the sand. Had I known this, I would not have played that day. It was terrible with the amount of sand on the greens.

Beach

Please oh please scrap the greens to even the sand out and drag off the abundance of excess sand. Large sections with so much sand you can’t even see the grass. That much sand will take a month or more to go into the greens.

Poor greens conditions - NO NOTIFICATION OF AERATION AND TOP DRESSING

All greens were un-puttable. Played 9-22-23. Greens topdressed 9-21-23. No mention of this process when this round was booked and paid for. We should have been given a notice with a choice of whether to book or not. Had we known this was done to the greens we would have played elsewhere. Disappointing to book and pay on-line only to arrive at the course and find that it is unplayable.

Highly Impressed

This course is a beautiful course that was in GREAT condition and the Mountain views on almost every hole were ridiculous. Back nine gets much tighter than the front nine, but both are playable and a ton of fun! Number 17, par 6 is quite an experience. I’ll definitely be back anytime I’m close.
