Blackthorn Golf Club, a Dr. Michael Hurdzan design, opened to rave reviews in August of 1994. The Irish-Cottage style clubhouse sets upon a rolling naturally contoured heavily wooded 226-acre site. The par 72, 7136-yard layout with four sets of tees offers a strategic test for golfers of all abilities. Broad fairways framed by 78 bunkers, wetlands, ponds, and native prairie grasses lead to subtly contoured and swept-up-tiered bentgrass greens. The practice facility consists of two acres of bentgrass tees, realistic target greens and a short game area for putting, chipping, and bunker play.

Upon its opening, Blackthorn was ranked the No. 4 best new public golf course by Golf Digest. While no longer a municipal course as of 2015, it was given the prestigious title of the No. 1 municipal course in Indiana and No. 44 in the country by Golf Week Magazine in 2013. Blackthorn was ranked a 5-star course by Chicagoland Golf, and it is among the top 100 women-friendly courses in the country. Additionally, the course has been consistently rated the best course in the area by the South Bend Tribune's Readers Choice Awards.
