Blackhawk Golf Club

Maybe first day this year it was a good day to get out for a round of golf. This course was packed at 2:30. Our tee time was 2:48 and we didn’t get our cart till almost 3:00. Marshall was doing his best to keep everyone on time.
There were 2 guys that were assigned to play with us. Despite being crowded , there was no one in front of them and each time they were on the tee box, they took at least 3-5 minutes before teeing off. On number 4 it appears one golfer is videotaping his partner swinging the club. Not playing but just swinging.
Not what you do during a round of golf.

The course was mostly dirt and the greens had different grasses growing on them. Putting was impossible. My golf cart died and it took them 25 minutes to replace it. We had to walk. The server in the grill was great

This course was in rough shape across the board. Super dry, so all the grass was dead besides greens. It was like playing on concrete. I broke 3 tees just trying to place one in the tee boxes. The greens, though they were watered, haven’t been treated for weeds, so literally every green has a super inconsistent roll because your ball hops over the weeds… the holes themselves were also poorly cut - sunken or frayed edges. All tee boxes were closed on #10, so you had to just pick a spot in the fairway and go from there. Zero netting next to the major road, so cars get hit by bad drives often. All sand traps have grown over with grass. This place needs a serious facelift. It may be cheap, but still not worth it. At least the people working the clubhouse were nice.

Unfortunately this will probably be the last time I pay to play at Blackhawk as the course has fallen off tremendously the past few years. Fairways are hard as rocks and Greens are uneven, terribly maintained and very bumpy.

It looks like no one truly cares about the facility.

I am not sure how the green fee per player in a 4-man group is justifiable with the conditions the way they were.

Not to mention the Cart broke down on 18.... and it was dragging the entire back 9.

Its disappointing because it used to be such a nicer course.

This was the worst maintained course I have ever played. I can’t believe they charged me $50. The greens were so bad. I felt like I was playing plinko.

I like many things about this course including the staff and location and I have played it for many years and yesterday was the worst shape I have seen the greens in, the front nine was worse than the back nine. While the fairways have been terrible for a long time and still are, at least they have filled in all the bunkers with grass which is an improvement, the greens were the one thing that always brought me back. They had so much poanna on them that you had to factor it into your putts, the ball was jumping all over the place at times like a game of Plinko.

Nobody cares for that course at all. Should never be over $25 and that’s mostly for the cart

You need binoculars to play with if you don't want to lose a lot of a ball.
The course wasn't too bad, but the toilet is too old and a lot of water stains. Need to replace the toilet.

It was wet and cart path only, but course has drainage issues on number of holes. Fairways have lots of patch and uneven areas, but just some loads of sand could fix 90% of those areas. Most greens were full of crab or other type of grass, especially on front side. I use to like playing the course but will not play again until I see reviews that show improvements have been made. Also, looks like all the sand bunkers are now grass bunkers. Probably a cost cutting move, and needed due to shape of bunkers last time I played there.
