Blackhawk presents a fantastic, fair challenge that will test your shot-making without being overly penal. The course demands precision, especially on holes hugging the river valley where elevation changes and strategic bunkering come into play. Pay close attention to your club selection on the par-3s; they are deceptively tricky and can quickly add strokes to your card.
