This place was a really pleasant surprise. We made a last-minute trip to South Bend to watch Cincinnati take on Notre Dame, and by the time we checked, The Warren Course was already booked solid. So, we headed over to Blackthorn — and I’m really glad we did.

Layout wasn’t bad. Course was sopping wet even though it hasn’t rained in days. Way too expensive for what it is.
