Your results may vary.The Black Label tents are basically as close as you can get to a portable bomb-shelter. At Black Diamond I was never so relieved to end a round. Usually I start feeling regrets around the 17th hole that the round is coming to an end. I felt mentally beat up throughout the round.

There is no "clubhouse", more of a pro shop. Cart gave us no trouble but was well worn. The cart path appeared to have been paved when the course was constructed and no maintenance since. Bunkers were hard pack and no rakes to be found. The fairways and greens were in good shape. There is even a par 6 so that tells you a lot about the toughness here. This is a classic mountain course layout with most holes on steep hills. Also, even though Ohio has a lot of flat land, that is not the case here. Fairways are mostly "thread the needle" narrow. Throughout most of the course you are faced with deep ravines off the left and deep woods guarding the right. You must be prepared to hit laser straight while still carrying water and deep ravines that irons will not reach. I lost more balls in 18 holes than I had all summer. This is by far the most difficult course I have ever played and that includes all the Legends courses at Myrtle Beach. The best way to describe this course is to quote a local who plays there every week :"If you are mad at someone bring them here to play". We would absolutely return to play again (and likely stay on property next time). Amish country), I can’t imagine why this wouldn’t be a great get-away travel destination. Given the proximity to other tourist attractions (e.g. not on an outer border like most course side housing). It can accommodate up to 14 people and offers a rather unique “stay and play” option as it is truly in the middle of the course (i.e. There is also a house that can be rented in the heart of the course (near the signature barn on the 11th green). Frequently, the grounds crew anticipated our arrival on a hole or green and were out of sight before we arrived, a level of attentiveness often not found even on some of the more exclusive/private clubs we have played. The staff and grounds crew were outstanding enthusiastic about having us there and courteous to us throughout the course. Deer and wild turkeys were a part of our “gallery” as we made our way through the back nine and there is plenty of water and numerous trees adding equal value to the visual appeal and challenge of the course. The only real exception I recall to that was the - unique in its own way - par six (6!) 7th hole which can play as long as 720 (it was about 620 from the blues when I played it). Most holes feature some amount of elevation change along with the already mentioned narrow landing spaces. It’s easy to get caught up in the scenery of this course as well. Club selection, as well as attention to where the “meat” of the landing areas is, can make or break your scoring chances on many holes. But, things get a bit chippier after that narrow landing spaces (both for drives fairway shots), tight angles, and undulating putting surfaces place a premium on accuracy, tee to green. What’s beyond the double-wide pro-shop/snack bar and “gently used” cart-paths however, is considerably more “diamond” than “rough.”īlack diamond starts you out with a very “attackable” par 5 (although it does require a carry over water for your first shot of the day), including a relatively large fairway landing area and fairly accessible green. Nestled somewhat remotely in the rolling hills of Ohio the drive-up first impression (what do they call it now “curb-appeal”) of the course certainly does not jump out at you. The old adage “never judge a book by its cover” might have been written for Black Diamond.
