Blackstone Golf Club

About
Blackstone Golf Club is one of the hidden gems of Chicagoland golf courses. It has one of the most natural landscapes of any course in the area thanks to the incorporation of more than 26 acres of environmentally protected wetlands. Half of the course is routed through dense forests of oak and hickory trees while the other half stretches across lush, open meadows. The wetlands come into play on 13 holes. Bob Lohmann, the golf course’s designer, crafted dramatic bunkers with irregular edges and strategically placed more than 50 of them along the greensides and fairways. It’s not a golf course where you can “grip it and rip it,” instead it will force you to think carefully before each hole. The layout can be a challenging test but four sets of tees and wide, player-friendly fairways make Blackstone G.C. more accessible for a wide range of skill levels.

One of the best in IL
This course is a beautiful layout and very well maintained. Definitely one of my favorite courses to play in the area. Definitely get yourself out on this track.
Great course, almost...
Absolutely love this course, with the exception of hole 14. It is simply an awful golf hole, with a huge swamp to cross on the second shot. Anything other than a perfect tee shot requires a lay up (wasted stroke) with a 130-150 yard shot to an elevated green. Just plan on a double bogey (or worse), which puts a dent in an otherwise good round. Otherwise a great course with a challenging layout and a very friendly staff!
Excellent! Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at Blackstone Golf Club!

Well run golf course
My wife Debbie and I have played the course several times and enjoy its' challenge. It is well maintained and the Rangers, Mike and Larry, are courteous but keep the play on schedule; which is important for any playing group. We've also met some terrific people at the course and will be joining new friends at the next planned outing August 9, 2019.
Excellent! We are so pleased that you and Debbie enjoyed your time at Blackstone Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!

Always good
Start was delayed a bit by lighting. Course held well with the rain. Has always been in good shape with fast greens in the 15 plus times I’ve played over the years. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Price was the going rate for the area and weekend. Pace of was great. We were 2 following a 2 with 4somes in from. We never waited. Finish in 345. Only negative was no halfway house attendant. Might of been because of the rain and cancellations. The bar inside was good and friendly after the round. Always a treat to play.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that our staff left a great impression on you. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at Blackstone!

Hidden Gem
Great layout, great greens, great staff, great golf course! Somewhat forgiving off the tee, this is a 2nd shot golf course. The game really starts on the greens here. They are fast, complex usually perfect.
Excellent! Come back soon!
A must play
Although it was breezy the course setup was fair. The course was in impeccable shape,tees,fairways,and greens. Beware the greens may be the quickest ones you play the entire season. Make it a point to play this course you will not be disappointed
Wonderful! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at Blackstone!
Awesome Golf Course
Love this golf course. I'm a single digit golfer and this course is just fun to play. Forgiving but you have to know where to place the ball.
One of my favorite golf courses.

Awesome course. A true hidden gem.
Greens are amazing , they roll true and fast. Entire course was in great shape. I will play here again before the year is up.
For the first time playing course , our entire foursome scored well. My only complaint was that we were asked to pick up pace 3 times. The guys behind us were no where in sight and never waited on us once. . We played in 4 hrs and on a course that tough for the first time for all of us, I think that’s pretty good.. Ranger rolled up on twice on putting green while my friend was trying to putt.. Very nice halfway house as well
Excellent! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that you and your group played well. We appreciate your feedback on our ranger and and pace of play. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at Blackstone!
