Blackhawk Golf Club
About
Blackhawk rests on the site of an old dairy farm, where the rolling terrain is suited for this links-style layout. This wide-open course features lots of water, loads of bunkers, and huge greens that are easy to three-putt if your approaches are off and you don’t have that feel for lag putting.
Each side has a punishing finishing hole. No. 9 is a monstrous par 4 that plays 464 yards. Off the tee, the narrow landing area is not conducive for the necessary booming drive, and the water causes problems in the fairway and around the green.
Hole 18 plays 430 yards, requiring a tee shot into the dogleg-right fairway that must thread two bodies of water.
The club prefers that you walk only on weekdays.
Getting there : Take I-35 north out of Austin, then exit FM 1825 east. Drive 5 miles to Hwy. 685 and turn left. Drive another 2.5 miles to Kelly Ln. and turn right.

Course conditions
Greens were in terrible shape. I woukd not even call them greens. Very on even and mostly sand and rough grass. Been there before and the greens were alot better. Layout of course is good.
Horrible
There are weeds on the greens and weeds everywhere. Very minimal real grass.if someone put some money into it. It could be nice.
Didn't even finish round
You saw the title, it was so bad and slow I had to leave. I went to the clubhouse and had them put me on the banned list so I wouldn't make the mistake of booking a round here again
Worst "Golf Course" I have played in my 10 years of golf
First review I have ever written for anything.
This is genuinely the worst golf course that I have ever played in my life. I was playing with two buddies who don't get out much so we decided to play somewhere that was on the cheaper side and had plenty of tee times available.
We got paired up with Ed who turned out to be the only bright spot of the day. The tee boxes are a joke, the fairways have chasms in them that have been carved out by heavy rains. There are a few that we almost got thrown from the cart on because we were looking for a ball driving down the middle of the fairway and out of nowhere a 3 foot drop hits us. Its like Indiana Jones out there.
The greens...I have not seen greens this bad since Bob Does Sports brought Joey Cold Cuts to the links at victoria. im talking 3-6 inch craters all over the greens. Absolutely no grass to speak of. This place is a minefield.
To top it all off, the Marshall was a total dick and told us to speed it up twice when there was maybe 5 other souls on the course and no one behind us. We were even playing a scramble and played the front in an hour 50. Despite that, he still came up to us a second time telling us to speed it up saying "there is a hole open ahead of you" to which I responded, "we have had a hole open in front since we teed off." To his credit he apologized and moved on, but the audacity to move people along on a course in this type of shape is insane. I felt like they should have been paying us for playing the course at all.
They also don't have a liquor license and the beers are surprisingly expensive. All in all, I would not pay 5 dollars to play here again, let alone 50.
Nice staff. Terrible course.
Pretty much the whole course is dead grass which is expected for a public course in Texas. But the “greens” were absolutely atrocious. They had patches of grass but mostly sand or hard dirt. I don’t know how this course can justify $60 green fees. Would never play this course again unless they invest some money and effort in repairing the greens.
Not worth $43.00
Paid 43.00 for a round here today. First time playing this course.
Staff was super friendly and very flexible on tee of time.
Course conditions are a completely different story. Fairways are just bad….lots of just bare dirt spots no grass.
Greens were worse! More than a hand full were unplayable at all.
I get it’s early in the season. I’ve played a dozen rounds already this year and other courses for similar price pints were in much better condition.
Terrible Greens
The course is in bad shape. I have played this course for 4 years. They have done nothing to improve the greens. The greens have only gotten worse. Will not be playing here anymore.
Anyone thinking of playing here, not worth it.
Horrible Fairways and Greens
I cannot stress enough how bad the greens are….sand, holes, three putt minimum.
Awful
Quite possibly the worst course I've played. Greens were horrible. Don't appear to have been kept up in the last 20 years. No marshalls on the course to speed up pace of play. No one running drinks on the course at all. Overall terrible experience. Would not recommend even to someone who has never played the game. I can find a better use for $40 than ever stepping foot on that course again.
