Excellent value golf course. Interesting design, and very well maintained for a public course. Pace of play on a weekday was quick, but I've had slower experiences on weekends. Tee boxes suit a variety of playing levels. Greens were in outstanding condition. Kudos to the landscaping team. Some sand traps were a bit worse for the wear, but we'd recently had a lot of rain so I think weather conditions made some unplayable. While it's situated in a neighborhood, you're not on top of homes, which is a plus. Restaurant food and drinks were tasty, but avoid the deli sandwich as it was very light o…

Super impressed with the food we had. I had a strawberry fields salad with feta cheese. And hubby had a burger with everything. He said his was good as well. Had a great view out our windows as we ate.

This is my third time coming here just for the food and was just as good as the first and second time! I highly recommend going here for the food if you haven't been before. Great food and big portions for a great price in my opinion.

Played the course a week ago and it was my first time playing here. I enjoyed it so much that I am playing again. Course in great condition, lots of challenging holes plus water. The par 3's can be tricky so you need to play smart. Kudos to whole staff who were all so nice and accommodating from the cute bartenders, the rangers shot out Greg and even bigger kudos to Ken in pro shop. He is a true professional and Blackberry Oaks is lucky to have employed him. Highly recommend playing this course!

We were there mid afternoon on a Sunday so the dining room was pretty empty. Small group of people were at the bar. There is a separate dining area. Pretty much had it all to ourselves. Ordered the fish tacos. They were quite good. Battered and deep fried cod in a flour tortilla with some shreaded cabbage. Tortilla chips with salsa and Pico sauce on the side. Nice views of the golf course.

I ordered the Bleu burger with sweet potato fries. It was delicious, I wished that I had taken a picture of it. It was very big. Nice place to have lunch. We were able to talk during our lunch and be able to hear everyone. We were at table of 7. This was our 3rd time here.

Very nice facility, well maintained tees, fairways and the greens are in especially excellent condition. Well worth visiting and playing. Will definitely return soon. Wasn't able to stop in the Oaks Grille but certainly will next visit. Word of caution if traveling from the North on Kennedy Rd. There are train tracks just north of the course entrance. If a freight is crossing Kennedy, you could be delayed for a while. GPS can navigate you through the neighborhood to the east to the avoid the RR crossing if you turn around. aound.

Manager wouldn't do anything about a table of screaming kids during trivia night no matter how many people complained. We couldn't even hear any question being asked but manger wouldn't do anything about it and kicked us out for saying something when he wouldn't do anything about the table of screaming kids... we will NEVER be back if it is managed like that.

Fun course. BlackBerry creek runs throughout the course giving it some water hazards to avoid. Green fee prices are appropriate. On site restuarant has outstanding food with lots of options. Driving range is a disappointment. Carts have GPS.
