Black Brook Golf Course 18th Hole

In operation since 1927, the historic Black Brook Golf Course has been a favorite of generations of golfers who have enjoyed the casual nature and inviting character of this unique course.

With rolling terrain, established landscapes, majestic century-old trees, and interesting sight lines, Black Brook is among the nicest 18-hole public courses in the area.

In fact, the course was voted one of the “Best Places to Play” by Golf Digest magazine.  It has also been named the “Best of the Best” in the golf course category by readers of The News-Herald four times and the 18th hole was selected as one of News Channel 5’s Dream 18 and the Plain Dealer’s Elite 18.

The course was designed by Bertie Way—who also de-signed The Country Club of Detroit, the Mayfield County Club and the famous South Course at Firestone Country Club in Akron.  The facility has been owned and operated by the city of Mentor since 2005.  Since then, a number of improvements have been implemented to improve the golf experience including the addition of a state-of-the-art practice center with all-grass tees, sand bunkers and other natural features to help golfers sharpen their swing.

The course offers golf schools, private lessons and a junior golf league serving more than 100 young golfers each summer.  Black Brook also offers a variety of leagues for men, women, coed, couples and juniors.

The course is open year-round.  Remember, if it’s nice out, they’re open!

Black Brook Golf Course & Practice Center is located at 8900 Lake Shore Boulevard.
