Blackhawk Golf Club

It’s improving, all sand bunkers are still just grass but the greens are getting better.

We played this course many times during covid. The greens were rough but cost was like $12/person. Fast forward 3 yrs course conditions are even worse but cost is now full price..

Atrocious conditions. Literally ranked for top worst courses in Texas. It’s insane they are charging $48-50 on a weekend to play at this course. Greens were literally dead with sand bunkers and dirt chunks spread across the area. Fairways were horrible as well. Would not play this course ever again for more than $15

As someone who just started playing golf a few months ago, Blackhawk was a safe haven of value and speed where you could go get a round for under $25 and play at your own pace with minimal oversight.

With some new management, Blackhawk is trying to become more like other courses and has lost a lot of the value it offers. The course is poorly maintained - especially the greens. There are no sand traps, but you will find sand on the greens. While the greens have moderate undulation, there are several random patches of grass that will affect your putt, so be prepared to count 5-10 extra strokes.

The new staff are a lot less friendly and accommodating than the old staff - especially when it comes to charging kids for rounds or having guests ride.

The lack of maintenance paired with the new management who are trying to run a stricter ship at the course make for a bad combo. There still isn't even something as basic as drinking water on the course. It's an unfortunate case, because the course has a great layout and some well designed holes, but the lack of care for the greens, cart paths, and clubhouse is evident. Either keep the prices lower and allow for people to play how they want as a place to practice or fix up the course and make it worth paying as much as other courses in the area.

Course needs to be revamped. The greens are terrible.

I’d been about a year since and I was really hoping they would have improved. Unfortunately, they have not.

I’m unsure of the circumstances of why this course is in such bad shape, but it’s pretty sad. I can excuse rough fairways and no sand in any of the bunkers, but bad tee’s and greens makes it feel like it’s just simply neglect. Even the practice green is in bad shape.

It’s pretty much the same for the clubhouse. The pro shop is almost empty and the food/bar situation is quite depressing.

I brought my wife here for her first round of golf but even she said, “I don’t want to come back here.” No matter the price of the round, I’d have to agree.

I hate to leave a bad review. Hopefully either they will begin to see how the public reviews this course and do something or sell to someone who would care a bit more.

How do you want a public golf course in winter to be as nice as it is in summer? Impossible.

This golf course was flooded by important rain a week before but was in good condition when we played on a sunny day Dec 30.

We were happy to play here to close our yer of golf despite critics.

Right now, this is a course you don't worry about what you shoot, because most fairways have either bare spots, mud areas, or crab grass that would typically be marked off as GUR. Greens were not terrible but still not near what you consider nice greens.

The pace of play was good overall, so that plus the cost will probably have us try again in a few months and see if the conditions improve.

They only good thing is they recently secured reconditioned courts. They all we be destroyed within 6 months due to course condition.

For the price this course is great. It was well watered and marshall let us play through a twosome of slower players. That’s a rarity! Holes are a challenge and will definitely play again

Not the best course in the world but not deserving of the negative reviews either, I’m a 3 handicap & grew up on a private course and have no issues coming out here and having a good time. Cheapest course in Austin area for the most part & you get every bit of what you pay for. Looks like a lot of bogey golfers taking their frustration out in the comments

Played once when I moved to the area about a year ago and again today, for the most part all the greens and tee boxes are just fine.. it’s about the cheapest course in Austin area and you get every bit of what you pay for. Getting the feeling 9/10 of these reviews are guys going out & shooting 90+ & blaming the course. I’m a +3 & grew up on a private course and have no issues coming here and having a good time. Go get some lessons you hacks

This course is in bad shape, but so is my golf game. If you're new to golf or really need the practice in wide open space, this is your course. Doesn't make since to blow money on great courses before you're able to play great golf.
