BLACKSTONE COURSE INFO

The Blackstone Course is a Jay Morrish-designed, 18-hole championship course in Aurora, Colorado, stretching 7,313 yards from the back tees and framed by Rocky Mountain views. Shaped by the natural prairie landscape, the course features rolling fairways, strategic bunkers, water features, four sets of tees, and a memorable back-nine stretch known as “The Gauntlet.”

1st Hole

Par 4 · 406

Pro’s Tip:
The course opens with a straightaway par 4 with native grass on each side of the fairway. Strategically placed bunkers on the right must also be avoided. Aiming for the 150 post off the tee is a good play. The second shot will play downhill with total elevation change from tee-to-green of about 50 feet.

Tee 1: 406

Tee 2: 381

Tee 3: 381

Tee 4: 346

Tee 5: 305

Blackstone Hole 1

2nd Hole

Par 5 · 523

Pro’s Tip:
The aiming point on this par 5 is just left of the 250 post in the fairway to avoid the water. Players going for the green in two should aim to the left side of this multi-tiered green which is protected by water on the right.

Tee 1: 523

Tee 2: 495

Tee 3: 455

Tee 4: 385

Tee 5: 351

Blackstone Hole 2

3rd Hole

Par 3 · 168

Pro’s Tip:
The third is a par 3 with a semi-blind tee shot. The green is multi-tiered, so club selection is important to get it close.

Tee 1: 168

Tee 2: 139

Tee 3: 125

Tee 4: 104

Tee 5: 90

Blackstone Hole 3

4th Hole

Par 4 · 413

Pro’s Tip:
A tee shot that lands near the 150 post sets up the best approach, as going too far will result in a severely downhill lie. The approach plays downhill and must carry and arroyo on the way to the green that’s wider than it is deep.

Tee 1: 413

Tee 2: 371

Tee 3: 359

Tee 4: 321

Tee 5: 292

Blackstone Hole 4

5th Hole

Par 4 · 403

Pro’s Tip:
An arroyo separates the tee box and fairway, creating an extra obstacle on this straightway, uphill par 4. Players should make sure their approach shot has enough distance to cover the greenside bunker that separates the two false fronts.

Tee 1: 403

Tee 2: 375

Tee 3: 358

Tee 4: 313

Tee 5: 229

Blackstone Hole 5

6th Hole

Par 3 · 213

Pro’s Tip:
The sixth is a challenging par 3 with a deep, narrow green that’s surrounded by deep bunkers and long rough.

Tee 1: 213

Tee 2: 193

Tee 3: 166

Tee 4: 147

Tee 5: 131

Blackstone Hole 6

7th Hole

Par 4 · 442

Pro’s Tip:
A tee shot that lands near the 150 post will allow players to miss the fairway bunkers on the right and be left with the best approach. The green slopes back-to-front and left-to-right.

Tee 1: 442

Tee 2: 418

Tee 3: 406

Tee 4: 378

Tee 5: 350

Blackstone Hole 7

8th Hole

Par 5 · 558

Pro’s Tip:
Fairway bunkers on the right and water on the left mean an accurate tee shot is the key to this dogleg left par 5. The landing area is generous for a lay-up, however, players should favor the left side as the fairway slopes from left-to-right. When going for the green in two, favoring the left side will help as this small, two-tiered green slopes from left-to-right and back-to-front. It’s also guarded by water on the right and bunkers on the left.

Tee 1: 558

Tee 2: 524

Tee 3: 514

Tee 4: 482

Tee 5: 453

Blackstone Hole 8

9th Hole

Par 4 · 405

Pro’s Tip:
Once again, use the 150 post for alignment on this uphill par 4. The fairway is protected by bunkers on the right and long rough on the left. A well-positioned tee shot will leave a short to mid-iron into this two-tiered green.

Tee 1: 405

Tee 2: 362

Tee 3: 354

Tee 4: 312

Tee 5: 282

Blackstone Hole 9

10th Hole

Par 4 · 486

Pro’s Tip:
The back nine opens with a downhill par 4 that’s protected by native grasses on both sides of the fairway and bunkers on the right. The green is three-tiered, so hitting the approach the right distance is important if players hope to two-putt.

Tee 1: 486

Tee 2: 462

Tee 3: 438

Tee 4: 438

Tee 5: 411

Blackstone Hole 10

11th Hole

Par 4 · 471

Pro’s Tip:
The eleventh is a long uphill par 4 with a fairway that slopes hard from right-to-left. The best angle into the green is from the right center of the fairway. This green is protected by bunkers on both sides and slopes right-to-left.

Tee 1: 471

Tee 2: 440

Tee 3: 403

Tee 4: 348

Tee 5: 316

Blackstone Hole 11

12th Hole

Par 3 · 187

Pro’s Tip:
The par 3, twelfth plays downhill to a green that slopes right-to-left and is protected by a bunker front-right. Anything long will find the native grass, making an up-and-down difficult.

Tee 1: 187

Tee 2: 156

Tee 3: 0

Tee 4: 126

Tee 5: 104

Blackstone Hole 12

13th Hole

Par 5 · 643

Pro’s Tip:
The thirteenth is the signature hole and the beginning of a challenging four-hole stretch. It features the most difficult tee shot on the course, where players must avoid the fairway bunkers down the right with a fairway that slopes right-to-left with an arroyo running the entire right side. Players must carry the arroyo on the second shot to a second fairway. Avoiding the fairway bunker on the left side of the second fairway is important. The third shot also must carry the arroyo on the way to this two-tiered green.

Tee 1: 643

Tee 2: 607

Tee 3: 538

Tee 4: 538

Tee 5: 518

Blackstone Hole 13

14th Hole

Par 4 · 419

Pro’s Tip:
The tee shot on this par 4 should favor the right side to avoid the two hidden bunkers in the center of the fairway. An arroyo crosses the fairway on the second shot on the way to a green that’s also guarded by the arroyo in front. Two bunkers and two beautiful Cottonwood trees also protect the green and must be split to get a good look at birdie.

Tee 1: 419

Tee 2: 375

Tee 3: 363

Tee 4: 333

Tee 5: 304

Blackstone Hole 14

15th Hole

Par 4 · 410

Pro’s Tip:
This par 4 plays slightly uphill off the tee and features a generous landing area. Tee shots must also carry the arroyo. The approach shot plays downhill and must carry the arroyo and the front bunkers on the way to a green that runs from front-to-back.

Tee 1: 410

Tee 2: 383

Tee 3: 348

Tee 4: 365

Tee 5: 244

Blackstone Hole 15

16th Hole

Par 3 · 236

Pro’s Tip:
The final par 3 features a green that slopes right-to-left with a big shelf on the right. Players must avoid missing left as the arroyo runs the entire left side of the hole.

Tee 1: 236

Tee 2: 230

Tee 3: 218

Tee 4: 122

Tee 5: 111

Blackstone Hole 16

17th Hole

Par 5 · 568

Pro’s Tip:
The seventeenth is the final par 5 that plays uphill and is reachable for longer hitters. Players must avoid the cross bunker on the right to have any chance of reaching the green in two. The green features a false front and bunkers that surround it.

Tee 1: 568

Tee 2: 532

Tee 3: 473

Tee 4: 450

Tee 5: 420

Blackstone Hole 17

18th Hole

Par 4 · 380

Pro’s Tip:
The closing hole is a slight dogleg left par 4 with water running down the left side from tee-to-green. The aiming point off the tee is the bunker on the right. Longer hitters can challenge the left side leaving a very short second. The green is a multi-level green, so being on the right side is important.

Tee 1: 380

Tee 2: 350

Tee 3: 345

Tee 4: 311

Tee 5: 288
