Black Rock Golf Club: Challenging But Stepped in Beauty

Finding the right golf course to consider your home course is often a matter of finding the one closes to the home and playing on it on a regular basis.

However, even the poorest golfers will tire of playing the same course over and over and after a few dozen trips down the same fairway. However, may find they play better when they hit a different course on occasion and the Black Rock golf club is such a course.

About the course.

With a slope rating of 121 from the white tees and 124 from the blue, the multiple tees at every tee box makes the course challenging and yet fun for golfers of every skill level.

The holes

The 18 holes course cuts through the Shenandoah Valley for the front nine. Then through the Appalachian Mountains on the back nine, creating a scenic view of western Maryland. Not many courses can boost a difference in areas to play on.

The fairways

Each fairway is carved into the landscape and Black Rock golf club offers an amazingly large practice green. They also boast a complete chipping area and sand trap for more practice before hitting the first tee. Bent grass of each green offers straight putting chances and will grab a lifted ball onto the green and hold it for the first putt.

The first hole, a Par 5 of 465 yards, all the way the white tee of the 18th hole at 386 yards, each hole offers a view of nature.

Water Hazards

Water hazards come into play on four holes, beginning with number four. The short hole may appear easy but any ball that sails over the green will end up swimming on the bottom of a lake. Lakes?

Hole number 8 has a small lake around the green. This 396 yard par 4 hole and on hole 13, a double dog leg to the right has water on the left side of the front of the green. This is also guarded by a trio of sand traps.

The final hole is a straight run to end the round. The 386 yard par four has water immediately in front of the green. The second shot will need to sail the water or lay up and use a wedge to place the ball on the green for a good finish. Those who miss this shot may find themselves swimming.

The Black Rock Golf Club is a course not for the faint of heart, it is designed to make the player strive for the best and hopefully stay dry in the process. Not a beginners course as the views may be too much of a distraction.
