Blackstone Country Club was envisioned from the beginning as a true championship venue, one that could challenge elite players while still delivering an enjoyable day-to-day experience for members. Designed by Jay Morrish, the Blackstone Course is carved from Colorado prairie land with sweeping Rocky Mountain views that frame nearly every hole. Morrish’s design philosophy is evident throughout the routing, where wide landing areas encourage confident driving, but angles into greens quickly reward thoughtful positioning over raw distance.
The course plays as a par 72 stretching to 7,246 yards, with a course rating of 74.6 and a slope of 145. Natural streams, lakes, and waterfalls are integrated into the design rather than added as decoration, forcing players to commit fully to their shots. Bunkering is strategic and visually intimidating without being unfair. The defining stretch comes late, with the back-nine sequence commonly referred to as “The Gauntlet,” a demanding run of holes that tests both precision and mental toughness and often determines the outcome of competitive rounds.
A defining feature of Blackstone membership is dual-club access to Black Bear Golf Club, originally designed by Jeff Brauer and opened in 1996. Black Bear contrasts beautifully with Blackstone’s prairie layout, offering over 200 feet of elevation change and dramatic Front Range views. Measuring 7,181 yards with a 73.7 rating and a 148 slope, Black Bear leans more heavily into mountain-style visuals and shot values. It is also home to extensive player-development amenities, including a full driving range, indoor hitting bays and simulators, a club fitting and repair center, and PGA professional instruction.
Membership at Blackstone is intentionally flexible, ranging from full dual-club golf access to lifestyle-focused options that emphasize dining, fitness, racquet sports, bocce ball, pool access, and social programming. Initiation fees and monthly dues vary by category and availability and are best confirmed directly with the club’s membership team.
Best For: Golfers seeking variety, championship-level golf, and a full lifestyle club environment with flexibility.
