Blackburn Meadows Golf Club boasts a par 32, 1,608-yard course designed to retain the natural features of the site. As a result, many of the native inhabitants remain. Deer, blue herons, mallard ducks and a host of birds are commonly seen on the site. Among the challenging holes on the course is the par 4, 246-yard hole five, which requires the golfer to send the ball through a narrow passage between a grove of cedar trees and water. Hitting long on this hole sends the ball into adjoining Blackburn Lake.
Slicers are especially likely to dunk their balls.
The club also offers a licensed clubhouse and outside patio, equipment rentals and a pro shop, which sells golf supplies and books tee-off times. The course is open from March 1 to October 31. For those who prefer to play golf with frisbees, there is a disc golf course in Mouat Park in Ganges.
