Black Hawk Golf Course offers 36-holes of beautiful, championship golf that provide a fair but challenging test of golf for players of all levels. The courses are designed to be player-friendly while still offering a good challenge to the lower handicap players. The layout of both courses cover less than 6,300-yards from the tips placing far less of a premium on driving distance than on placement
and accuracy. In fact, the longest par four in both courses is a mere 416-yards, so it's safe to say that the long-hitter had better be extremely accurate if he wants to hit the driver at Black Hawk. While the courses are not particularly long, they present respectable 67.0 and 68.3 course ratings, which means that they offer a solid challenge, but it's definitely not length off the tee. The ample and forgiving fairways are lined with stately oak trees and hardwoods which provide a beautiful natural border, but they rarely encroach on the playing areas enough to cause too much concern. And the water hazards are not severe enough to cause you trouble. So, where does the challenge really come from? It's the greens! While the entire golf course is always in immaculate condition and the grooming and fine details are constantly attended to, it's the greens at Black Hawk Golf Course that deserve the most attention.
