First time I played the Black, although I caddied all 5 courses as a kid back in the '60s. She's a much different and prettier old girl than I remember, harder yet fair. I'd probably have played better if I didn't have a story or two from each of the holes. I'll go back in the spring and try her again. Pleasing vistas and tough rough. Highest recommendation.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
