Blackstone Golf Club

Blackstone Golf Club is a championship-caliber course located in Marengo, Illinois, designed by Bob Lohmann. The course stretches to 6,727 yards from the back tees and plays to 4,893 yards from the shortest tees, with four sets available to accommodate golfers of all skill levels. It features lush bentgrass greens and fairways set within a distinctive natural landscape characterized by over 26 acres of environmentally protected wetlands.

The course presents significant strategic challenges, particularly through its 54 strategically placed sand bunkers with irregular edges. Wetlands come into play on 13 holes, while nine holes wind through dense forests of hickory and oak trees, providing scenic vistas throughout the round. The design balances difficulty for experienced players with wider fairway corridors to assist mid-to-high handicappers, making it playable across skill levels.

Blackstone Golf Club is recognized as a top-rated course in Illinois and has earned respect for its integration of natural environmental features with thoughtful course design. The combination of challenging bunker placement, water hazards, and forest aesthetics creates both visual appeal and demanding golf conditions.
