Blackstone Country Club delivers something rare in the Denver metro: true dual-club access paired with resort-style amenities. Located in Aurora with sweeping Rocky Mountain views, Blackstone blends championship golf with lifestyle flexibility — and the membership structure reflects that.
The Blackstone Course, designed by Jay Morrish, stretches over 7,246 yards of par 72 golf framed by prairie landscape, lakes, waterfalls, and strategic bunkering. With a rating of 74.6 and slope of 145, the layout is demanding yet fair. The back-nine stretch known as “The Gauntlet” is one of the more memorable and challenging sequences in the metro area.
Members also gain access to Black Bear Golf Club, originally designed by Jeff Brauer and opened in 1996. With over 200 feet of elevation change and panoramic Front Range views, Black Bear offers a contrasting but complementary experience. It plays to 7,181 yards, par 72, with a rating of 73.7 and slope of 148. Black Bear includes a full driving range, indoor hitting bay and simulator, club fitting and repair center, and PGA professional instruction.
Together, the two courses create a dynamic membership ecosystem — one rooted in variety and choice.
Beyond golf, the club operates as a lifestyle destination. Members enjoy a resort-style pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, bocce ball, dining venues, social programming, and access to practice facilities at both properties depending on tier.
Premier | Dual Club Full Golf
The Premier membership tier provides unrestricted full golf access to both Blackstone and Black Bear. Members enjoy unlimited practice access at both facilities, along with full clubhouse, dining, social events, pool, fitness, racquet sports, and bocce privileges.
The initiation fee is currently $25,000, with monthly dues of $940. Members opting into XLife participation pay $1,025 monthly. Waitlist pressure is increasing at this level.
This tier is ideal for committed golfers who want full scheduling flexibility and complete dual-club access.
Signature | Dual Club Limited Golf
Signature membership offers full golf access to Black Bear and limited access to Blackstone, specifically Sunday noon through Friday noon. Practice access mirrors golf privileges — unrestricted at Black Bear and matched access at Blackstone.
Initiation is $15,000, with monthly dues of $850 or $935 with XLife.
This tier suits golfers who want dual-club benefits but can flex around weekday and off-peak access windows.
Select | Black Bear Full Golf
Select membership is centered exclusively on Black Bear, offering full golf access and unrestricted practice privileges there, along with full lifestyle access at both clubs.
Initiation is $7,500, with monthly dues of $685 or $770 with XLife.
This tier works well for golfers who prefer Black Bear’s routing and want a lower entry point into full golf membership.
Twilight | Black Bear Twilight Golf
Twilight membership provides limited golf access at Black Bear on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons after 2pm, plus clubhouse and social privileges.
Initiation is $2,500, with monthly dues of $350 or $435 with XLife.
This tier is best suited for flexible players with non-traditional schedules or those seeking lighter engagement.
Lifestyle Collection
Blackstone also offers non-golf lifestyle memberships.
The Sport Membership, currently under limited release and approaching waitlist, carries a $1,000 initiation fee and $325 monthly dues (or $410 with XLife). It includes full clubhouse, dining, social events, resort pool, fitness, tennis, pickleball, and bocce access. A one-year loyalty agreement applies.
The Black Bear Clubhouse Membership carries a $100 initiation and $60 monthly dues ($125 with XLife), providing access to clubhouse dining and social programming at Black Bear only.
For residents within the Blackstone community, the Resident Lifestyle Social membership is required per HOA covenants. Monthly dues are $235 or $320 with XLife and include clubhouse, dining, social, pool, fitness, racquet sports, and bocce access.
How Blackstone Fits the Denver Private Club Landscape
Blackstone occupies a unique position in the Denver metro private club market. Its initiation structure is significantly more approachable than legacy clubs like Cherry Hills or Colorado Golf Club, yet it delivers a multi-facility experience that rivals larger properties.
It appeals strongly to families in Southeast Aurora, professionals seeking flexibility, and golfers who value variety over exclusivity. The dual-club model provides strategic access and lifestyle depth without six-figure initiation barriers.
For buyers relocating into the Blackstone community or the surrounding Aurora corridor, the club functions as both a social anchor and a recreational hub.
