Blackthorn Golf Club

Blackthorn Golf Club plays 7,105 yards over 18 holes with a par of 72. A driving range is available. At over 7,100 yards from the back tees, this is one of the longest and most demanding courses in the South Bend area. The layout plays through the flat Great Lakes plain of St. Joseph County, with water hazards and strategic bunkering compensating for the naturally level terrain. The course demands both length and accuracy.

Located on Nimtz Parkway in South Bend, Blackthorn operates at a luxury price point, placing it at the upper end of the local market. South Bend is home to the University of Notre Dame, and the area has a strong golf scene that includes several public and private options. Blackthorn’s championship yardage and premium conditioning set it apart as a top-tier public option for serious players in northern Indiana.
