There are 4 courses within 5 miles. Blackhawk is the least expensive, but it is the least on service and product. Blackhawk has recently sold to new management and is getting better conditions. They have an email special that really attracts retired and senior players, they have made it an all-you-can experience which has increased play. The problem is that with these changes the pace of play has slowed down. I used to be able to play 27 to 36 holes in 5 hours, yesterday we played 18 in just over 4 1/2 hours.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles
Bottom line: Worse than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
