We hiked the Blacklick Golf Course as the final hike in the metro park’s winter hike series. Despite snow on the course, it was easy to see how beautiful the course is - rolling hills and numerous ponds. The clubhouse was nice. The gift store, though, was small. I can’t wait to golf this lovely metro parks golf course.

The photo says it all. This was our lie in the fairway on several holes. There is just no grass to speak of. Yes it’s a muni but the superintendent really blew it. Less than $40 plus $12 for cart so not expensive but with fairways like this they shouldn’t be charging anything 😂😆 Greens were in average shape for a muni, but at least they had grass. Might not have been mown in a couple of days but there was grass. Maybe running a 6-8 on the stimpmeter. Crazy slow.

Great course. Well maintained despite recent reviews. Wonderful layout. Not a house in sight. Plus, the smaller 9 hole course is free to Franklin County residents.

This course is one of my favorites in the area. There is plenty of wildlife to be seen as you make your way through the tree-lined layout. Periodic changes in elevation, bunkers, and the occasional water hazard keep things interesting. There was a period in time last year where the course was in terrible condition, but it seems to be in pretty good shape so far this year. While the course and the adjacent 9 hole course is lovely, the starter and the other guys working outside are the rudest golf course employees I have ever interacted with.

It was my first time playing this course. I played the back nine and the course was very beautiful.. visited the course a second time and played 18, beautiful course. They lost a star because on the front 9 (they had us start on the back 9 so front 9 was later in the day around 5pm) there was a guy mowing fairways and on 4 holes we had to wait to hit because he would be mowing right where we needed to hit, and he wouldn't stop and move to the side. He didn't kill the loud engine when you got close, he did finally shut the blades off once while we were putting but the guy followed us for 3 holes and it was awful, fo holes 2, 3, and 4 then when we got to 8 he was there again. We also had someone come around and ask us to hurry to finish while we were on number 7 because the high schools were about to start playing the front 9 and it was ironic because we would have been done by that time if we hadn't waited so long for the guy cutting the fairways. I don't take selfies, but I did this day.. this was one of the holes when we made it past the guy mowing and he didn't stop at all while we were hitting our shots was extremely frustrating.
