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.

Fun course

This was our first time out to this course, and we had a great time. It's not a difficult course to follow, the traps and bunkers are around but didn't seem to be hard to navigate around. The greens and most Fairways were still pretty green for late November. There were a lot of leaves which did make hunting for your ball a challenge, but not impossible.

Love this course

I played this course a lot before moving to Atlanta in 2016. This layout is fun, but not overly difficult. I came back to see how things have changed and it's the same as it was 8 years ago. This isn't your typical Florida course, it has the feel of a course in south Alabama/Georgia. Pines trees all over, no Palm trees or water. Staff is friendly. Really great course overall.

The course was in good shape but fairways just overseeded

We arrived at course only to find out it was cart path only as they had overseeded the fairways Even considering that we had an enjoyable round and still played in under 3 hours, as the course was quiet for a Saturday. We did come across a Rattler sunning itself on a cart path..

Great Course trying to recover their fairways.

This is usually a wonderful course a=in great condition but the fairways took a beating this summer and are all over to bring them back. I have all confidence it will be back in great shape again. Greens were awesome and the staff is always very friendly. They did give me a heads up about the fairways and what they had done to start to recover them. It was cart path only but no biggie because there was a good reason to stay off the fairways. As always I'll be back.

Challenging and hilly

It's a good course with hills and some really challenging holes. The greens were beautiful, undulating and thick. The biggest problem for me is that I was recovering from a broken ankle 6 weeks prior and the walking, even with a cart was a bit of a challenge.

The carts were great but the gps screen had a ton of advertising.

Very good Greens......but....

Nice practice area and putting green. the course from the tee box to the green was not good at all. Looks like no water, except for greens, for weeks or longer. fairways were in terrible shape and many times I was hitting off hard pan or sand in the middle of the so called fairways. Bunkers greenside were decent. I played this course before several times and it was beautiful and green with distinct fairways. Just dissapointed at the condition of the course today compared to what it used to be. Wont be back anytime soon.

Absolutely great greens—every hole

The course greens are well maintained. The fairways are lacking due to pump issues but still well maintained. I high recommend this course!!!

A work in progress

The bad, The course used to be outstanding, unfortunately they mostly lost the fairways and tees this summer. They had irrigation problems complicated by hot dry conditions.

The good, the greens were great!! Also, they told me they have the irrigation fixed and will be reseeding everything this winter. Hopefully, things will be much better next spring.

The layout of the course is interesting with elevation changes, and dog legs. The fairways are wide enough which is good, because there are trees lining the sides of almost all of the fairways.
