GOLF UPDATE


Upcoming Course Closure: Member-Guest Tournament


Please note that the golf course and practice facilities will be fully closed from Thursday, June 18th through Saturday, June 20th as we host our premier Men's Member-Guest Tournament.


We appreciate your cooperation and understanding while we showcase our pristine course to our members and their invited guests. Regular tee times will resume on Sunday, June 21st.


On The Fairways: Player Care & Pace of Play Briefing


As we enjoy peak summer conditions across our 19 holes, maintaining the championship standards of our course and ensuring an enjoyable experience for every group on the turf relies on our collective effort. Please take a brief moment to review these essential mid-June reminders before your next tee time:


Bunkers & Pitch Marks:


To keep our greens and hazards "up to par," please remember to repair your pitch marks on the greens and properly rake sand bunkers after play. Leaving a smooth surface ensures fair, consistent playing conditions for the groups directly behind you.


The 3-Minute Rule & Fescue Pace of Play:


With our signature fescue now fully grown out, finding errant shots can become a time-consuming challenge. To keep the pace of play moving smoothly for everyone, please remember that the maximum legal search time for a lost ball is 3 minutes. If you suspect your ball may be difficult to find, we kindly ask that you hit a provisional ball from the tee box to prevent delays.


Practice Ball Etiquette:


A quick reminder that all range and practice balls are meant exclusively for our dedicated practice facilities. Please do not take practice balls out onto the live golf course for regular play.


Golf Shop Check-In:


To ensure seamless operations and accurate member accounts, all players must check in with the Golf Shop prior to teeing off. Please let the team member at the desk know whether you are playing 9 or 18 holes, and confirm if you have any accompanied guests so we can ensure correct account billing from the start.


Thank you for your continued pride of ownership, cooperation, and care for our beautiful course!


Fresh in the Shop: Malbon Golf Has Arrived


Elevate your summer wardrobe with the newest addition to the Black Bull Golf Shop. We are thrilled to announce that fresh, highly anticipated gear from Malbon Golf is officially in stock!


Known for blending classic golf heritage with modern, streetwear-inspired fashion, Malbon offers the perfect balance of on-course performance and casual, off-course style. Stop by the shop before or after your next round to check out the new arrivals, browse the collection, and grab your sizes before they are gone.


Summer Junior Golf Camp: June 23rd–25th


Registration is now open for our upcoming Black Bull Junior Golf Camp, running from Tuesday, June 23rd through Thursday, June 25th. Designed to be both highly instructional and incredibly fun, camp sessions will run daily from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, focusing on fundamentals, sportsmanship, and on-course play.
