Black Diamond Ranch
From the remnants of an
abandoned tract of land, home to enormous limestone
quarries has emerged 45 of golf's most challenging and
amazing holes. Black Diamond Ranch, the dream of
developer Stan Olsen and the design of master golf
architect Tom Fazio, has emerged as one of the
top-ranked courses in the world.
Consisting of the 18 hole Quarry Course which sports
a blend of terrain features seldom found in the
southeastern U.S., most particularly the signature
holes; #13 through #17 which feature playing in and
around two retired quarries. With elevation changes of
up to 100 feet, boulders, wild flowers, cliffs and
crystal clear Black Diamond Lake these holes are some of
the most exciting you will ever play.
As if that were not enough, Fazio then created the
equally exciting Ranch Course, which again features
dynamic changes in elevation surrounded by spectacular
native vegetation. Resulting in a course that is more
rugged and less manicured, framed by hammocks of oaks
and tawny colored sand. The 18 hole Ranch Course's goal
to blend with the natural landscape was totally
achieved.
Eventually, the 9 hole Highlands Course was added to
provide variety to Black Diamond's golf experience.
According to designer and architect Tom Fazio, the
Highlands Nine adds true variety to the golf experience
at Black Diamond. Routed on the highest part of the
property, the golfer is faced with dramatic long-range
views, often 25 to 30 miles in the distance. The dramas
of these elevations coupled with the unique mix of
formalized and naturalized bunkers makes the Highland
Nine a wonderful complement to the Black Diamond
experience.
Black Diamond Ranch courses are private courses.
