Blackstone Golf Club

About Blackstone Golf Club

This hidden gem in the far northwest suburbs punches well above its weight for a public track, earning a stellar 4.7-star rating from locals who've discovered what feels like their own private club. The layout takes full advantage of the rolling Illinois farmland, with enough elevation change and natural contours to keep things interesting without beating you up. What sets Blackstone apart is the balance. It's challenging enough to hold your attention but fair enough that you'll walk off wanting to book another round rather than throw your clubs in the pond. The conditioning consistently surprises visitors expecting typical muni-level maintenance, and the fact that walking is encouraged (rather than just tolerated) gives it an old-school feel that's increasingly rare. At this price point and quality level, it's the kind of course that makes you wonder why you bother with the overpriced daily-fee layouts closer to Chicago. Just don't tell too many people about it.
