Rating 74.5

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.

Not well maintained

The course is in very rough conditions. Carts look like they are from the 80s. Pace of play was dreadfully slow. 4 groups on one hole. Terrible

Black Hawk

I like this course because it’s laid back and 5miles from my house. My only complaint is its very wet around the greeens and the fairways need some work. The price should be 30.00 all day everyday for the shape the course is in. FYI no sand bunkers.

Course could be better with improved maintenance.

The course is nicely laid out, but need a better geounds crew. Example: None of the bunkers have sand and are overgrown with grass. There are also stagnant holes of water; some smell horrible. It's a shame because I believe this could be much nicer facility; it just needs better management. All that said, I did enjoy the round, i would recommend and I will come back. They do have Veteran pricing which is nice.
