Excellent Links course. This year the course was in excellent shape. Challenging but fair. A great course for the whole family. The rolling ungelating of this course makes you feel like your in Scotland golfing. Wish they would serve food would make the whole experience just that much better.

Great challenge from the Tips!

Love playing Blackheath, it is my favorite local course. Given the value in price you get a great course for the money. I have golfed after a strong rain and the fairways and greens took water incredibly well. Grass is in great condition. Course definitely can be busy but that is a testament to the value. Very beginner friendly in my opinion just in the sense that the fairways are wide and with the style of the course there are not trees to worry about. Not much tall grass either so it is hard to lose balls. Staff that I have encountered have all been very friendly especially the starters and rangers. Great course!

For the price, this is a very nice course that is well kept, not overly challenging but still fun. Its very hilly, and some holes provide you with incredible scenic views of the whole course. As others have mentioned, most of the fairways are a bit tight/right next to each other so you do have to keep your head up when you hear FORE. Many people have complained about pace of play and that the ranger does nothing to enforce - Id have to really disagree with this. We played on a Sunday morning, and I had zero complaints about the pace. The ranger was driving around regularly and making sure that people were closing the gap if they were falling behind. Also, the cart girl Jenny was super awesome, and she came around very frequently which was nice.My only two complaints would be... cart girl has no credit card reader so its cash only (we probably would have spent a lot more if CC was accepted), and second complaint would be the lack of food options (pre-made sandwiches in the clubhouse is basically your only option).Overall, we had a great time on a well-kept and well managed course. Definitely will be back!

Beautiful course..well maintained

This is a lovely course. Hilly, scenic and well kept. Some fairways are a bit tight next to each other is my only complaint. Really enjoyed the course and will definitely play again!

Love the layout. Links style lends itself to low rounds, if youre familiar with the course. Golf is so much more fun when youre scoring. Friendly staff!

The course is in great condition the carts have shower curtains to separate the two passengers the greens are maintained in great condition, the staff is friendly in the cold drink cart makes frequent laps. Whats not to like. The course is challenging but not overly difficult for medium to medium better golfers.

Very fair, well maintained, and fun course. Pace of play and lack of a real clubhouse or the only negatives on this course

Great place to play. Very well maintained. It has its challenges also.

We like the course. Everything seemed well manicured.

Fun course that was challenging at times for me. Lots of long shots and birdies for me.

Honestly one of the most poor experiences I’ve had on a golf course. The course itself is ok. Cart paths are garbage and the holes are extremely close together.Aside from the course itself, the management ruined our experience. They booked a 6:24pm tee time for us. Then hounded us from the second we tee’d off about having the carts in by 8:45. We were bearded throughout the round by the ranger, who had no idea we were being held up by the group in front of us.After the round, we were practically chased out of the parking lot because the manager wanted to go home.Extremely unprofessional for a golf course of this caliber. If you want a good experience, go to twin lakes.

Solid and great value at $45/round. Interesting enough, fairways and greens excellent.

Beautiful course in Northern Rochester. Large fairways make it an ideal place for both experts and novice golfers alike, I would know, I’m much closer to a novice and I was able to shoot an 80. It’s not extremely easy but the open land makes it easy to locate your ball so you will save strokes in that sense.

The course is lovely, such a nice ambient and atmosphere, love coming here with my friends to play some golf!

Great course. Love the layout and the challenge. One of my favorites.

Beautiful can links style course. Greens & fairwayss exvellent condition! Good value!

The wind was 35 mph. Should have stayed home. Very tired that day .

Appears a little worn. But still enjoyable.

Vey nice good challench

The course itself is typically very well maintained. Definitely the best golf experience for the cost in the area. The clubhouse has a bit to be desired, but that’s not what you come here for.

Always a great time!

Course was in good shape, but pace of play was very slow. Did not see any marshals on course.

Great atmosphere and amenities. During a party there it was difficult to get a drink from the servers and bartenders. The bartender was often not behind the bar and the servers seemed to always disappear to the kitchen to stand and talk with co workers. Layout and landscaping very well done. My brother and sister in law seem to enjoy the place very much though.

Good golf.day, not a fan of back and forth fairways.

Course is Taken care of late in the season.

The course is in great condition, especially the greens! Very friendly staff both inside and out on the course. Great price, Great course! Highly recommended. My 4 some played front 9 in under 2 hours, and back nine in 2:10. Great pace of play.

Open course. Fairly challenging.

Beautiful day, very friendly, helpful staff. Great value. Sexy cart girl.

Really like this course. In good shape and has a nice layout. The starter and people behind the counter are always nice and polite. The beverage cart girls are are always nice and only a hole or 2 away. Which is nice on some of those hot days. The pro shop could have a little more to offer but something like that will never keep me from coming to play this course. Great jobs to all of you that work there.

Nice Links style course with plenty of trouble that makes for an interesting round. The greens were in very good shape and ran true. The pace of play was a little slow and they could use a couple of rangers to keep things moving. Of course I like to play a three and a half hour round.

Links style course. Plays very difficult in the wind. Fairly easy with no wind. Good condition and nice greens.

Nice golf course, terrible arrangement of teetimes had 5 groups booked for our tee time, cart girl was pathetic only time I seen her was on hole #1 & hole #17.... do better honestly that was garbage thanks for leaving us out there thirsty. Oh ya and thanks for mentioning that your driving range was closed.... great idea to show up early, not!

Great course but slow play

Always enjoy playing here, just wish they had a real clubhouse.

This course is always in good shape and enjoy playing here. the problem is 6 minute tee times and having 5 hour and 43 min rounds. we had 2 groups in front of us at every tea box. ranger told us to slow down which we didnt get. from waiting at hole 17 to teeing off on 18 took 41 minutes. Trying to make every dollar they can isnt fun golf.

Pretty basic course. Not in bad shape or anything but pretty plane Jane. They say its a Links course but I didnt see it. Not much heather, long rough, or big greens with undulations. You can spray it way right or way left and still be in play, granted it will be in someone elses fairway. Speaking of which keep your head on a swivel as many teeboxes/greens seems to converge in one area, and many fairways are pretty snug to one another, so if you hear a FORE you better duck, and put some marks on your ball so you can identify it. Dont play the whites unless your 80+ years old and can only drive the ball 150 yards. Difference between blues and whites is too drastic. 400 yard par 5s are no fun. Clubhouse looks like it will collapse with a strong breeze, which might not be a bad thing, as long as nobody is inside. There were a ton of golfers on the course but the clubhouse offers next to nothing in the way of atmosphere or food, and definitely doesnt make you want to stick around and shoot the sh*t over a beer after a long round. Spruce the place up, thrown out a basic bar menu and a Golden Tee Machine and you could get more people to stick around and spend some more money. Pace of play was pretty slow...8 minute intervals between tee times is pretty tight. Although I will say there were multiple rangers out trying to hurry people along to prevent log jams. Cart girl was very pleasant and came by frequently. Overall just a pretty meh course with only a few challenging holes and no real scenery or ambiance to keep you coming back. If youre the area give it a shot and maybe play from the tips so you can use all the clubs in your bag, but I wouldnt make it a must play course as the allure of being a links course is over-played.

Absolutely fantastic...Greens were ingreat shape and everything was very well taken care of.

5 and a half hour round. Got told by the ranger to pick up our pace on the 16th hole after waiting on every shot of the entire round. They pack the course and blame groups on slow play. Course is in good shape but not worth it.

Course was in nice shape, greens were tough but well maintained.

Course is in great shape and is playable for all levels of players.

I’ve played all over the state and I can’t name five public courses with better greens. This course is not very challenging off the tee, but the conditions are fabulous.

Greens are in great shape. Very reasonable cost!

Great value and fun course to play. Fairly priced and friendly staff!

Always well drained after rainy weather.Good atmosphere and good service.Thanks

The course is laid out pretty nice. The greens are difficult, but well maintained. Pace of play can be very slow. On a Sunday, it took us almost 3 hours to finish 9 holes with two people, and the back 9 was about the same. Nice course, good prices, extremely overbooked. 3.5 stars.

When I pulled up I was a little worried about the tee time I had set up. The club house isnt much of a club house and getting started was a bit confusing. Some better directions and signs would have been helpful.I think there was 1 tree on the entire course and only 1 water hazard but the rolling hills incorporated into the greens was made up for it. Greens fee was decent and I ended up really enjoying myself out there. I will definatly come back here again and I would recommend this course to anyone beginner to intermediate.

If you want a miserably slow round and want to wait on every single solitary tee, then this is the course for you. We play it a couple of times a year, basically because its convenient, centrally located and inexpensive. But I would rather pay $10 more if they would spread out the tee times. Keep expecting them to address this issue, but they never do. Every single time I am out there, it is ridiculously slow.

Great links style course that is always fun. Front 9 is pretty forgiving, with the back nine being more challenging. One complaint is that they packed the course on Saturday, a bit over crowded. Took 5.5 hrs to complete our round.

Alot of tough fun holes

Fun course to play,. my only gripe is the speed of play. Took 3 hours for nine holes even after we called the clubhouse to complain. They need a ranger to keep things moving.

Great course if you have 4 hours to play 9. Came during the week to give It another chance, and same thing. Currently at 2 hours thru 5 holes. Absolute joke.

I was told to expect a long round, but it was anything but! Great course, great pace! Course is in great shape!

Nice golf course up in Rochester. Unfortunately, they crowd it quite a bit during the league season. After often playing at the pace of the group ahead, we were still pestered by starters to speed up play. Probably makes it a good place for non-leagurers to find a tee time though.

Good value and nice course

Early in the season this place is great because you can get 18 for about $20.But by mid summer the greens are beat to hell from the total disregard your typical golfer has for repairing their ball marks; refer to the pics

Great golf course! Had lots of funI will definitely be back.

Won’t go back here again. Terrible customer experience. I was lied to and swindled out of hard earned cash.Here’s the story:I called ahead and asked if the course was busy. The pro shop manager said the turnaround times were 2 hours and 10 minutes, so I booked an 11:12am tee time.I paid $70 bucks and headed to the first tee, which is out of sight from the pro shop. As I approached the 1st tee, I counted 8 carts and 16 golfers (4 foursomes) all with later tee times than us.There was no starter to enforce our booked tee time, so we asked a ranger at the 9th hole if we had to wait for the tee times who were later than us to go off. He told us that since we weren’t at the 1st hole 5 minutes early that we essentially lost our spot.Thirty minutes after our scheduled tee time we still had a foursome in front of us. It was almost 1pm and we got word from a guy who was walking off the 9th green that his front nine lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes.With how things played out, I requested a refund. The pro shop manager told me it was out of the question and that we could only get a rain check. He wouldn’t budge. Even though he told us on the phone the turn around time was 2 hours and 10 minutes.I’m never coming back to this dump ever again. The person who runs this course doesn’t know how to run a golf course.

Course was in good shape, and we never waited at a hole, but the staff didnt engage us at all. The beer cart drove right by us. The staff, including the bag boy and beer cart, had a real opportunity to create a better experience.

A beautiful links course for sure. Unfortunately its poorly managed and doesnt have much to offer in amenities. Theres always a line at the first tee, resulting in either a wait to take your next shot or the group behind you pushing you through your round.

Beautiful course, Scottish style -- wide fairways, few trees, but lots of high grass and fescue to contend with. Reasonable prices. Maintained to perfection -- never seen a dried up or browned green or fairway.

A really nice course, but they put too many people on it.

Course was great....fun place to play....hot cart girls too....

O.K. golf course. The course was in decent to above average condition, so no complaints there. The clubhouse is very dirty, outdated, and borderline run-down. Almost every single hole forces you to lay up, leaving it very difficult to reach the greens in two. Not a fan of this unless you can consistently drive the ball 280+ yards or if your average drive goes about 170. The greens seemed to be pretty inconsistent as well. Id go back here if I got a good deal, but Id pretty much just leave my driver at home.

Well kept course, kind of a shooting gallery...saw two confrontations. Very slow play, no Ranger to speak of, interesting greens.

Nice farways, nice greens, cant wait to play there again.

I can not remember the last time I wrote a review, but I feel that I need to share this with other golfers so they can avoid the absolutely miserable time that I experienced last Saturday. It took 5 hours and 45 minutes to play a round of golf. they overbooked the course and were letting walk ons in between. No ranger on the course at all. When I asked some one if there was a ranger, their response was. (well were short handed today).No attempt to do anything about it. There are no ball washers on the course or on the carts., so bring your own water. No one at the snack bar to get a hot dog ( which is all they had) and one cart girl on the course. Needless to say this was our first and last time we will ever visit this course.

Its nice and well maintained. The only problem is that it takes 4-5 hours for nine holes.

Nice golf course in Rochester Hills area.

Boycott this place for the simple fact that the manager is a total jerk to the people who call with simple questions. If youre too busy to take my call, maybe get off your butt and hire some help! But he wasnt busy I guess, he was just a condescending jerk!

The course is in good shape greens read true not fast. As far as the the SLOWWWW way over booked had at least e groups on every hole at one time

This is not a nice place. Its cheap but the lack of amenities and awful conditions of the existing ones outweigh the cost benefits IMO. The carts are in terrible condition and poorly maintained. There is very little in the way of food at the turn, old hot dog or chips take your pick. The clubhouse is sad and it stunk.They park the carts in the dining area overnight. The wooden steps and features around the course are ALL slippery with fungus and rotten. Greens and layout are very gimmicky. I expect this course to be closed for housing development in the next few years. I wouldnt go back and dont expect you to either.

Not bad. Great idea but a little run down.

Awesome link style golf course and driving range. Prices are always low and the course is always very well maintained. The downside to the style of golf course is that you always feel like your shooting towards someone and theyre hitting towards you however its nice when you shank a ball you can just walk over to the other fairway its on and play it from there.One of the better maintained courses in the area. The rangers are all mostly dick heads but you dont see them after the first hole 95% of the time so no big deal.

Terrible course management. They schedule tee times about every 2 minutes, so when you get to the first tee, its consistently backed up with 4 or 5 groups. The rangers are also all complete idiots, and dont know what theyre doing. Its a shame, because its a great course to play. Ive played it many times, but Ive reached my patience limit with the management and staff. I would AVOID at all costs!!!

Always a great time

Awesome course, wide open, but tough

Slow play doesnt matter here ... nice course but SLOW

Whats the point of a ranger if they just support slow play - Nate 2019.

Golf course was in good shape. Great greens. Considering the price for 18 holes, this was a real deal.

Great time...course was in great condition

Wide open you should be able to shoot your best score here!

Nice course, decent pace of play for a busy Saturday.

Nice front mean back. One of few courses the tips mean the tips!

Mike was very helpful in setting up a small golf outing for the company I work at. Only issue I had with staff were the rude younger staff members. No sense of customer service, when I first arrived to pay for outing I ask a female worker if I could speak with Mike. I was there to pay for the outing and make sure accommodations were ready for that Sunday. She promptly and rudely says Hes Busy!. I kind of stand there for about 15 seconds, finally I ask Well is there any way you can get a hold of him, Hes busy is not very helpful.. But once I talked to Mike he made the experience much better, he was very helpful and was excited to talk about the golf course. The rangers didnt give anyone in our group a hard time. The course was very nice link style and very well maintained. The porta johns were a little scarce on the out, but that was the only gripe I heard from my group. Would play here again.

Nice course. The hall and food are underwhelming but the staff were accommodating.

Excellent golf course! Cheap prices and kept up beautifully!! Would recommend many rounds to be played here!

Made a tee time for 1:06pm called in 15 minutes prior, acknowledging that we would be 5 minutes late. Starters were unaware that we called in. Had to wait 10 mins and we were ridiculed for not being on time from the starters. Then during the round the starter would not even waive back to us. My friend also got a cut on the 17th hole and when he went to the clubhouse they said they had no band-aids. They ran out of bottled water on the 9th whole and all the water coolers on the course were empty. It was 85 degrees out. Went in and tried to talk to the manager but did they did not acknowledge my complaint at the end of 18. However, bag drop crew was very nice. Course is very well maintained. Great course but fairly tough.-g

We made a reservation on a Friday morning for two groups. One a threesome and one a foursome. They messed up the reservation and ended up combining all seven of us into one tee time?!? We obliged to get going and divided the groups to keep our pace up. We were doing a mini-scramble/playing best ball to be sure we didnt hold any groups behind us. Despite this, the course ranger couldnt have been more rude. Between our two smaller groups, we both shot even and in theory, couldnt have gone any faster without shooting an eagle on every hole.Through the first nine, the we kept running into the group ahead of us. It wasnt a big deal and it didnt really bother us too much (it happens when golfing). At times though, the ranger asked us to tee off with the group ahead of us only 150yds down the fairway and pretty much hit right into them. We tried to give them a little bit more room, and then teed off as demanded by the ranger. The group ahead of us didnt seem very pleased.After the first 9, we got to 10 and got a tongue lashing from the course ranger yet again. At that time, the harassment was pretty ridiculous and so unfounded that our group decided to call it quits before it really ruined our day. We didnt attempt to continue a pointless argument with the general manager in the club house to get our money back. I would be completely understanding had we been a group of inexperienced golfers or abunch of kids just looking to wreck a golf cart, but with us being crammed into one tee-time (unlike our reservation) and playing best ball I dont think we could have done much more to accommodate the course and the extremely rude staff.All said and done, I have read the course plays slow and Ive realized that with the tee time intervals so short, its obvious this course is just looking to get as many golfers onto the course as possible and the only way to keep the players going (and hitting into one another) is to accompany that approach with rude course rangers. All in all, Im happy that the round was only $40. I would have had a much harder time giving up half of a paid round of golf had it been a respectable course and a much more costly round of golf. This a great example of getting what you pay for. This experience makes me feel that those $80-125/round courses are worth it.I would recommend trying a different place before you head to this course. The rude staff and slow rounds of golf dont make the cheap round worth it.

We usually like to go to Blackheath because of the link style type course layout and the price is always fair. But the last time we were there which was June of 2013, the ranger was extremely rude. The first player hit a ball out of bounds and was hitting a provisional when the ranger came running up to the tee box and began swearing asking us what the f**k we are doing? So needless to say, everyone wasnt very happy. We arent bad golfers and were playing as the rules state. Unfortunately other reviews have seemed to point the rude ranger, who seemed to have an accent. We will never be back and will choose to play anywhere else than Black heath!!!

No rangers, so one slow group of drunk guys shuts the course down to a crawl.

Nice open course. They have awful carts, however.

Good course in excellent shape!

Decent course for the money (only $45 for 18 on Saturday morning, peak season). Links style...

This place could use some shade from the hot sun

Clubhouse consists of vending machine and hot dog machine.

Very nice golf course

Good course. Normally a wait at the first tee but speeds up after that.

Good course
