Blackstone is not near anything - but that's part of the charm. It takes a drive to get there, but well worth it when you arrive. Very challenging layout, lots of trouble if you don't keep it straight. The course goes from wide open spaces to wooded areas - and it is a different course if the wind is blowing. The greens are true, but super fast. Best course around, and at $75/round in prime time, definitely worth the price.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Expensive and worth it, Best course in the area
