Rankings: 

 

The Takeaway:  Being a big fan of Jim Engh and his work, I had lofty expectations for Blackstone that unfortunately were not quite met. The club is quite nice as are the conditions, but Engh uniquely does better work with more difficult and extreme terrain than he does with the blank canvas of a desert scape.  Grade C+

What to Expect:  Blackstone is Jim Engh first effort in Arizona that brings the desert a flair for architecture it has never seen before. The flat Peoria terrain is much tamer than the landscape that made Jim Engh famous at Sanctuary and Black Rock. The course features several small bowl bunkers and unique shaped greens. The conditioning is excellent on every part of the course and the intriguing greens bring an element of fun to every round.
