Black Mountain Golf Club

Not as difficult as I feared . Great staff. Golfsavers organized all very well . Transport, Mr Pot, on time in lovely late model Fortuner.

Had heard a lot of very positive things about Black Mountain so hopes were high and we were not disappointed. Course was presented in excellent condition and the greens were a fairly frightening 11 on the stimp meter.

Course in excellent condition, the caddies are top class and the check in also excellent. Unfortunately, on the day I played, there was a two balls (both western guys) in front of me-one of the guys should not be allowed on the course as he was a very poor player e.g. By hole 2 (par 5) I was waiting to hit by wedge 3rd shot into the green while they were still messing about putting/chipping. Behind me on the fairway was the next flight waiting to hit the second shots. And on the tee box were 2 separate flights waiting to tee off!! By the time I got to the tee box for hole 3 (par 3) they had only just hit their first shot, but seeing my disgust, they let me through. No marshall anywhere to be seen to raise the slow pace of play sadly

Best golfcourse in this area. Friendly and nice golfclub with 3 supernice 9-hole courses. Good staff and professional caddies

The course itself at Black Mountain is an enjoyable golf course that is reasonably well maintained. The facilities are pretty much the same as the facilities you would encounter it almost any other golf course. They have a reasonably sized pro shop, restaurant, bar, and men's locker room. All of which were clean and tidy. So why then have an average rating? I will tell you. 1st of all there were the charges for the cart, rental clubs, and caddy. None of these was seriously out of line other than the cost of the cart, however, none of them were up to standard. The cart had no electronic range finder on it as do the carts at Banyan. The caddy that I had, while attentive and nice, wasn't as knowledgeable as, once again, the caddy that I had at Banyon. The same goes for the rental clubs. Finally, from the advertising I expected an exceptional experience as they think of themselves as number one course in the area. I had one rather simple request on checking in which was for a band aid due to a skin rip on the ring finger on my right hand, which needed to be covered for the game. Neither the pro shop nor the starter were able to accommodate this simple request, and I had to go to the Mini March to purchase Band-Aids. Granted, it was only about 50 cents for the 5 plasters that I purchased, but it was such a simple request and I was surprised that they were not able to, or willing to accommodate me. I did like the course, and would play it again if I had friends that wanted to play there. My preference however would be to go to Banyan
