Rules & Regulations

Book online or walk right up and book in person — both work now. But walk-ups and same-day bookings come with a 10% fee, so booking online ahead of time saves you 10% (your wallet will thank you). Within 1 hour of tee-off, online same-day booking closes — call (724) 325-2052 or stop in at the pro shop.

Walk-ups are welcome — we'll get you set up at the pro shop. Just expect a short delay while we fit you in around already-booked groups (and that 10% same-day fee applies). Booking ahead online gets you teeing off sooner and cheaper.

Same-day tee times are bookable online up to 1 hour before tee-off — at 4:00 PM you can still book 5:10 PM, but not 5:00 PM. A 10% same-day fee applies to bookings made on the same calendar day as the tee time (and to walk-ups) — added automatically at checkout.

If your round is cancelled for rain (or other weather) and you hadn't started yet, we'll issue a rain voucher with a code redeemable on your next online booking.

We are at our new address — 9001 Kapalua Lane, Jeannette, PA 15644. Please don't drive to the old clubhouse.

While we build the new clubhouse, a temporary facility is in use for check-in and amenities will be limited.

Tuesdays are always closed.

Mondays are closed except for holiday Mondays (Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc.). Check the home page for the latest.

Open Wednesday – Sunday plus holiday Mondays.

Last tee-off every open day is 6:10 PM.

Blackthorne is open to the public — no membership required.

Bookings should be made under the name of the player who will check in. The booking party is responsible for the conduct of everyone in their group on the course.

Drinks and snacks are available on-site from our temporary facility while the new clubhouse is being built.

We accept debit and credit only — no cash.

No refunds are issued once play has begun. Once you have started your round of golf, you will not receive a refund for any reason.

If it starts raining before you start your round, a rain voucher will be issued — a code redeemable toward your next online booking.

Once booked, a tee time cannot be refunded or moved for any reason other than weather on the day of your tee time.

Golfers who are driving the carts must be 18 years old or older and have a valid driver's license.

Before leaving the course at the end of your round, notify staff of any new damage.
