Practice center has artificial and natural tees, target greens, uneven lie area and even sand bunkers to practice on
A moment more than a year in the making has finally come -- the Black Brook Golf Course has opened its redesigned practice center. The center opened Saturday and it features artificial and a 1.5-acre natural tee, an artificial tee that can be used during bad weather, target greens, an uneven lie area and even sand bunkers on which golfers can practice.

We'll be in Mentor for another type of event soon, and we hope you'll join us then. And we'd love to have you take part in our chat tonight. Thanks for commenting. more ›
