Fun mountain course

Played twice here in Aug. Very enjoyable both times. Pace of play VG. Beautiful scenery. Fairways have some weeds, a few greens with bare spots, but overall good condition and very playable. Lots of variety among the holes. They could use more directional signs on cart paths for those not familiar with the layout. Small, bare bones pro shop. No driving range. Overall, good bang for the buck.

Typical mountain course

Fairways and roughs were not well manicured. Sand traps were hard packed. Greens did not hold the approach shot, putted true, were medium speed. As a first time player, we would have benefitted by having a course layout. It was difficult at times to determine where to aim the shot.

Good value

Have played this course several times a year for the last 10 years and it is in very good condition for a public course with heavy play. Play was a little slow, but we were a threesome behind a couple of foursomes, so was to be expected. Greens were in excellent condition and rolled true. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to returning.

Cool design. Bad everything else.

Pace of play was awful, greens were rough and fairway was bad. They need a starter and until they get one or someone does it, I would play anywhere else but this course. People walk in the same group as people with carts. Foursomes walking and tee boxes are being waited at nonstop. Course was an awesome design and could be an excellent course, but pace of play and conditions just make it much worse.

Fun mountain course

This from a couple with HCs in the 20s. Very fun day here with more than enough challenges to keep it interesting. Fairways have some weeds but are kept mowed. Greens were weed free but a bit on the slow side. Beautiful views, many elevation changes. We'll be back to play again before heading back to SC.

Fun course

Fun challenge. Only a couple holes really need improvement. Greens were in great shape but rolled slow. I know it’s not easy but tee boxes need to be leveled. Kudos to Black Mountain for keeping this course in excellent shape.

Course was in the best shape I’ve seen it my only complaint was slow play, took 4.5 hrs for a twosome which is ridiculous. Need a ranger to speed the slow people up
