Located in the heart of central Massachusetts, Blackstone National Golf Club is a championship-caliber course designed by Rees Jones. The course was created to take advantage of the natural landscape and is an amazing experience for golfers of all levels.
It has a grass driving range, putting green, and fully stocked pro shop to get you ready for your round. It is the perfect spot to take a quick day trip with your golfing buddies.
The layout is what I would call ‘New England’ style. It has rolling hills, dense trees, and large greens. There are some blind tee shots so, for a first timer, it might be difficult to navigate the course. I would obviously advise to stay on the heavily sloped fairways to shoot low, but we all know that it is easier said than done.

The course is in great shape year-round, and the greens roll true. I played in July on a hot summer day and had a great time. The course challenges you to play every club you have because tee shots and approaches are at a premium.
The course is heavily lined with trees on every hole which is both good and bad. It’s bad if you hit your tee shot off-line because you might not find it. It’s good because it creates a feeling of isolation. You don’t see or hear other golfers, except for you playing partners. This is a really calming and enjoyable experience as compared to other courses that are crammed into tight spaces. You also get to focus on each shot because you don’t feel pressured by other groups.

Another perk of this course is the food. The restaurant at the clubhouse serves delicious items that will fill you up after the round. The spot is called the National Grill and the menu has all of the classics you love in a clubhouse. They have something for everyone: appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, wraps, grilled pizzas, and hearty entrees.

WEDDING VENUE
Blackstone National is not just a golf experience, it is also a wedding destination. The Barn at Blackstone National is a charming venue nestled on the property just behind the clubhouse. The Barn provides an upscale experience in an old-school rustic setting. The interior of the building is a fantastic post-and-beam design that symbolizes a classic barn, but the amenities are modern and chic.

The Barn has an extensive list of services they provide for your big day. To start, the scenery that surrounds the venue is picturesque. It is on the golf course, so you have the manicured, pristine layout in the background. The Barn’s interior is immaculate, and the exterior has a patio and a wood pavilion to enjoy during your celebration. There is also a pergola made from wooden tree limbs that will set the backdrop for your beautiful, memorable ceremony.
The Barn is equipped with both heat and A/C so you can pick any date on the calendar for your epic event. The capacity for an event is 150 people so you don’t have to worry about the guest list. The setting at The Barn and golf course provides an infinite number of spots to take lasting pictures that you will enjoy for the rest of your life.
Planning a wedding can be stressful, but once you choose The Barn as your wedding venue the job gets much easier. They provide an event coordinator that will help with all the preparations: food, bar, decorations, timing, etc. Your input will be valued, and they will tailor the event to your wishes.
On the big day you will have a Bridal suite on-site to either get ready for the ceremony or transition to the reception. The coordinator will always be in touch and can handle any details you are concerned about. The whole team at The Barn is then ready to make the day a memorable experience that fulfills all of your needs.

The in-house chef and their staff will provide specialty drinks, appetizers, a gourmet meal, and delicious desserts that will leave a lasting impression on all your guests. The crew are known for providing high quality food and spirits, and not turning down any requests. They do have several options for your main meal, but they will cater to your needs. If you want to take out the stress of RSVP answers, they do a Duo Meal which includes two proteins so everyone should be happy!
A few of the added benefits of booking with The Barn at Blackstone National include:
- Ceremony area
- Covered outdoor space
- Dressing rooms
- Handicap accessibility
- Indoor event space
- Liability insurance
- Outdoor event space
- Wireless internet
- On-site accommodations
They also offer a discount if you combine both your rehearsal dinner and wedding at the venue. This is a good way to save money but also limit confusion. By having both events at the same venue it will be much easier to plan and set up for the events. It is easier to work with one coordinator and one chef, and the venue has everything you need. I think this is a great option for anyone looking to get married in such a unique and memorable setting.
