Blackheath Golf Club

Course is great. It's the only true links course in Rochester and I prefer it over Twin Lake's links course. I'm giving it two stars because of the pace of play and management. I didn't finish my round today out of frustration. We were averaging 20 minutes per hole. That is a 6 hour round on a Thursday morning in the Fall. I considered going into the pro shop, but after seeing the reviews I realized they already know and refuse to address it. I won't be back and it's a shame because the course is well maintained, different than the surrounding tracks, and fun. I could get past the horrible carts, the gross clubhouse, and no alcohol. I can't get past waiting on every tee box and playing at 6 hour pace.

Nice track if you like a links style course! Played on a very windy day so with no trees to block some of the wind it made it more challenging than normal. Feel they over booked tee times a bit so play was a bit slow. Clubhouse was below par and they had no alcohol on premise due to losing their license. Just ok overall.

Well kept course. Sometimes pace of play can be a little longer than average. Challenging but very playable for all skill levels. Fairways and greens are kept nice and tight, even through hot summer months. Fescue can get long so keep it in play. Bunkers are well placed and there are a few deep pot bunkers. #10 is an iconic climb down greenside.
