Phenomenal golf course. Peaceful, perfectly maintained. Hot spring fed creek throughout. They drained and were re-lining a lake while there, but otherwise completely pristine course. Must add for anyone’s bucket list.
OMG this was so much fun! Definitely go early morning before the wind comes up. Also the send you out as twosomes and that was great for my wife, who likes to play without being pressured to hurry up from other players. They give you six water bottles on ice with plenty more on the course. Good food and drinks available also. Rental clubs were good! Fantastic grass driving range with all the balls you need. We played in 4 hours and 10 minutes; nice pace. Enjoy the incredible mountain and canyon scenery, but the course itself is amazing: the greens are electric; so smooth and fast, the sand is absolutely perfect to hit out of, and the fairways and tee boxes are fantastic. This course is in really really great shape. That’s the main attraction from a golf standpoint. Also note that the water from the wells comes out at about 100°F, so in the early morning the waterfalls have steam coming off of them near the green on the third hole, which is pretty. Don’t forget that you are at altitude, and a 3000 feet elevation. My shots went farther than they usually do at sea level. I birdied the last hole, which made me happy. Don’t forget to hit a ball over the Rio Grande into Mexico on the 15th tee!
Black Jack’s Crossing is hands down one of the most memorable golf experiences I’ve ever had. Tucked away in the heart of Big Bend country, this is a bucket-list course with jaw-dropping West Texas scenery. Every hole feels like a postcard — dramatic elevation changes, manicured fairways, and panoramic views of the Chisos Mountains and the Rio Grande. The course layout is challenging but fair, offering a great mix of risk and reward. Whether you’re standing on a high tee box or navigating a tight approach shot, you’ll constantly be in awe of your surroundings.
