Highly Impressed

This course is a beautiful course that was in GREAT condition and the Mountain views on almost every hole were ridiculous. Back nine gets much tighter than the front nine, but both are playable and a ton of fun! Number 17, par 6 is quite an experience. I’ll definitely be back anytime I’m close.

Very good course. This is an old layout, designed by Donal Ross in 1927. I've played here numerous times since 1980.

Black Mtn Golf Course

I was very impressed at the quality of the coarse for how little it cost. Only problem was because of the low proce and great value it was kind of packed and that was at 3:10 on a Tuesday so plan carefully when you go or you could end up waiting at each hole like i did. Worth if overall.

Rude Pro Shop Mgr.

Driving 2 hrs. to play this course, Mr. Pro Shop Mgr. was rude! The check in counter resembled that of a McDonald’s as Mr. Mgr. was munching on his Big Mac & fries while watching his Sci Fi tv program. No “Welcome to Black Mt. GC. We walked in and walked right back out to head home. Wasted $60.

Unfriendly staff

Staff was rude and unhelpful, I had questions as it was my first time being there and using golf now but the only answer they would give me is contact golf now, not willing to work with people, the course was not great either

Black Mountain

Greens recently punched and sanded didn't help and will get better. The poor layout will not. Not sure how this course ever got a four star rating. I'm a former collegiate golfer and have played more than my share of quality courses. This should likely be a 3 star course at best.

Uncharacteristic

FIRST, GOLF NOW— You need to figure out how to let golfers know when these courses are under maintenance. The shop was prompt to inform us an hour before our tee time about aerated greens. The shop does not carry anything but tee times and The Green Tea Grille never opened due to a mystery involving the owner/operator. I’m sure this was an uncharacteristic experience for their players today BUT boy what a bad day for golf at Black Mountain.

Fun layout, great staff, poor conditions

We played on a kind of rainy day, but the course was in pretty bad shape. Fairways were average but the greens were bad. Very slow, a LOT of sand on them even though they aerated 2 months ago. Impossible to make a putt with the un-true speeds and cut. The tee boxes also need some work… some you can’t get a tee in them at all.
The layout is a blast and very challenging but fair. We will go back in the spring and hope the greens are doing better.
It has to be said, some of the nicest golf course folks work there. The guy in the pro shop was great. The staff in the snack house were amazingly friendly! Great experience in that way.

The course was in good shape. they aerated but filled in with sand. Some holes were challenging because you could not see where you needed to drive but had direction from Garmin. Overall we enjoyed the course and had fun. Lost a few balls.

I love this course but

I love playing this course; however, the greens on this visit were a mess. I know that they are probably preparing for winter but there was no real putting as there was so much sand on the greens that it was almost unplayable. I was also surprised by the amount of kill on the fairways with large areas of brown patches. This was my wife’s first time playing here and she was not impressed by the shared fairways on the front 9. I will be back but next year after it recovers from the winter.
