Rating Snapshot
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.

Worst course
Fairways were basically dirt over at least 40-50 percent of the course. Greens were like Omaha Beach.
Fairways cut level . No crabgrass. Greens improved immensely. TBOX next project.
Don’t waste your money
This place is not worth a dollar. All fairways are mud and rocks, the staff is extremely unfriendly, and I was unironically asked to hurry up by the marshal walking off the first tee box after teeing off 5 minutes early.
Needs work
The greens have issues. The fairways have issues. There is maintenance being done but isn’t cleared each day. The layout is great excluding hole 10(nets needed).
Family Friendly Fun
Very nice beginner course, perfect for our family with teens learning to play! Well maintained fairways/greens/path and generally straight/easy shots off the tee box with some gentle water features. We played 9 because of time and will be back to try all 18.
Crab Grass in Fairways are back. About 3 Greens are playable.
The course is Mid
The greens are horrendous, the fairways are okay but you get what you pay for.
The Worst Course in Austin!!!
Everything here is terrible! So bad they can’t even supply free tap water on the course for golfers in 110 degree Texas heat. Stay away!!!!
Not bad
The condition of the course was not too good but with that price it's not bad at all.
If you are there to have good time, then it's a nice place to go as it's less than 10 minutes from Round Rock downtown.
You get what you pay for, usually
I’m not delusional in my expectations for this course. If you know the greens are going to be rough coming in, then you’re good. This time we went was pretty bad though. For Saturday rounds, they usually more the greens on Friday for the prime playing times but not this time. It was bad plus the sprinklers were still full blown spraying on the 6th hole when we got there. The price is great but this time it wasn’t worth the $50. Hoping things turn around here soon.
The Worst Course in Austin!
This course is by far the worst kept in the Austin area. No Marshall, terrible fairways, no sand in bunkers, patchy greens that haven’t been aerated in 20 years and the absolute worst thing is they don’t have the decency to supply drinking water to any golfers on the course. The “No water” issue is just plain wrong in the Texas heat. Stay away!!
The Worst Course In Austin Area!
This is by far the worst course in the area and they don’t care. Grass has grown in the bunkers, the grass in the fairways are terrible, greens haven’t been aerated in years and the worst thing of all, NO WATER for golfers on any hole. Absolute trash! No water in the Texas heat is crazy. DO NOT play here ever.
