Black Sheep Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get a tee time at Black Sheep Golf Club if I'm not a member?

Black Sheep is a truly private club, so you won't find public tee times here. Your best bet is to know a member-they're the only ones who can extend an invitation for you to play as their guest. It's an exclusive experience, but absolutely worth the effort to connect with a member.

Is Black Sheep Golf Club a walking-only course, and what should I expect?

Yes, Black Sheep is proudly a walking-only course, which is a huge part of its charm and tradition. You'll want to be in good walking shape, as the course covers some ground, but the natural flow of the holes makes it an incredibly enjoyable stroll. Embrace the walk-it's how the course is meant to be experienced.

When's the ideal time of year to play Black Sheep Golf Club for the best conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall-think May, June, September, or early October. The fescue is usually at its most vibrant then, and the weather is typically perfect for walking 18 holes without the oppressive summer heat or the chill of late fall. You'll get the course in its prime.

What unique design elements make Black Sheep a memorable challenge?

You'll immediately notice the expansive, links-style feel with wide fairways that invite you to swing away, but don't let that fool you. The real challenge lies in the strategic bunkering and the subtle contours around the greens, demanding precise approach shots and a sharp short game. It's a second-shot course that rewards thoughtful play, not just brute force.

Are caddies mandatory at Black Sheep, and what's their role in the experience?

While caddies aren't strictly mandatory, we absolutely recommend taking one-it elevates your entire round. Their local knowledge of the subtle breaks on the greens and the best lines off the tee is invaluable, especially on a course that reveals its secrets slowly. They truly enhance the walking experience and help you navigate the course like a seasoned pro.
