Blackstone Golf Course
About
The player-friendly Blackstone Golf Course boasts a reputation of being an excellent course for families. The gently undulating landscape is approachable to beginners while still providing a fair amount of challenge. The rolling terrain requires accuracy but most holes allow for short irons if you're willing to risk hitting your ball into the treetops. There is a stream that meanders through the golf course, coming into play on a number of holes. It also crosses through Blackstone's driving range. Strategically placed bunkers are also scattered throughout. The greens are in excellent condition, providing great putting surfaces. Blackstone Golf Course has garnered a local following because of its playability, which is helped by three sets of tees, and extremely reasonable rates. It's an excellent location for a casual round.

Fantastic greens
The greens were in fantastic shape. Some of the fairways were in very bad shape, some were just OK shape. Bunkers in very good condition. It's a dormant season, so expectations were not too high. Seems like some funds should be expended on fairway improvement on many of the holes.
Blackstone review
Great layout, reasonable price and good pace of play! Just a long drive from PCB.
Subtle Gem
Not expecting much for the money, I was pleasantly impressed with Blackstone Golf Club. The practice facility is sparse, but that’s where the mediocrity ends. The fairways are mostly adequate although sometimes a bit bare ( it was January). The greens are fantastic and challenging. Bunkers are well maintained but could use a few more rakes. Elevation changes are breathtaking and add a bit of calculation needed. The carts are top notch although the constant advertisements are distracting. Overall, I’d play this course again anytime.
Fine If Playing Greens Only
We've played this course many times and always enjoy the layout and the challenge of going back and forth over the ravine. Sadly the fairways are in very poor shape. The greens are beautiful but it's getting there that you have to go through washouts and fairways that look like they have not seen water in a month.
Hidden gem in the panhandle
I recently moved to Panama City Beach and asked some locals for the best course for the best value and Blackstone kept getting mentioned, so I had to check it out. I've since played the course 3 times in the first 6 weeks of living here, and I'm an hour drive away.
This course is definitely not your typical Florida course. There are elevation changes on many of the holes, and they are natural and not man-made. It's much more reminiscent of a course in Ohio that I used to play.
Now, the course has had some natural issues keeping the fairways in the best shape, but the greens are near perfect.
The staff has been extremely friendly, particularly a gentnamed Kirby.
Looking forward to playing this course many times.
