Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club

I have played a wide range of different courses across the country. At different price points. For the money this is one of the best golf experiences I’ve come across. The course literally could not be in better shape. Greens are a tad slow if I wanted to nitpick something. If you are in the area or passing through as I was, you absolutely need to check out this place.

At $60 per 18 holes you would expect the bunker the have sand in them. Most bunkers are currently nothing but red clay.

The course is out of the way and rough signage to find it. The map will take you to the resort hotel - but the course is a separate location.

Course is great, staff is solid, range could use some love. But outside that - recommend.

Everything was fine until our 3 some caught up to 8 guys playing in front of us. After about 2 holes we reached a par 3 and they let us play through. This was on a Friday morning. The course was nice and the staff did tell us that there was a fivesome that we may run into but I guess that 3 others joined them somewhere on the course.

Last year at this time were spotty. Now they are green and plush.

However they are reducing size of greens. Short term okay but they really need to cut them original size.

If you are a "pro" then you may not consider this a nice course but for the average weekend golfer it sets up really good. It's just the right amount of difficult but still not overwhelmingly tough. When we arrived we were told the course was very busy and expect the pace of play to be slow but that didn't prove out to be correct. We didn't have to wait to tee off on any of the 18 holes and even though there were others playing we were never right up on anyone and no one was right up on us. We had a great afternoon here.

Have played this course dozens of times and this is the best condition the greeens have ever been in (for this time of the year), Kudos to the maintenance staff.

Fairways were more like rough. Cool views but you’re in the middle of nowhere, hard to find the course. I liked the privacy though. Would only play this again if the fairways were better

October 2025 finds this course to be in the best shape ever! Congrats to Jody and all the staff.

Third time playing here. Great course at a reasonable price, and close to our campground in the state park.

Course is in decent shape. Fairways are hard to distinguish from the rough on a lot of holes they just kinda run together. Driving range is in desperate need of attention, all weeds and in very rough shape. Greens were puttable but very slow and had lots of debris. Got a hot deal for $20 so it was worth the money. Would have been highly disappointed if I paid the normal rate.

Enjoyed the course. Greens have come back well since the first of the year. Pace was very fast, fun time!
