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.

Golfer Reviews
As bad as it gets
Course is terrible. Literal rock patches in the fairways. Might as well be hitting off of the moon. Bunkers are just grass spots now. Greens might as well be the bunker. No real maintenance is done on this course other than mowing. Really hoping they at least do a little updating before it just gets shut down completely.
Run away.
Course is in terrible shape. Greens. Awful. Fairways awful. Bunkers. Nope. Tee boxes. Nope. Unless you can play this course for 10 dollars or less it is not worth it. Pro shop is the perfect indication of the rest of the course. Carpet old dirty and ‘em needs to be replaced. No water on the course. Bathroom floors haven’t been mopped in god knows how long. No pride taken in anything about this place. Has the feel of a place that is about to close down.
Do Not Play
The course is in terrible condition. Fairway are covered in weeds, dirt, literally unkept.
Greens are horrible. Covered in sand, big patches of grass missing.
Carts are falling apart.
This course isn’t even worth $10 per round.
Solid for the price
If you’re a beginner to intermediate player this can be an OK place to get some practice in. I like the course, but like a lot of places around area the greens are either in poor condition or just OK.
Nice staff and good pace of play. Good place if paying for a low price hot deal
Blackhawk Down
Two stars is the highest I can rate this course. Greens were horrible, grass, weeds and sand. Farways look good but hard as a rock, good luck getting under the ball on a down hill lie. Incredibly overpriced for the conditions of the course. If they would put 10% effort in care of the course would greatly improve its conditions.
Going Down Hill
I played this course 2 years ago for a charity event and it was alright then. Little to no maintenance has been done since that time to try to maintain or better this course. The layout is good and could be worth playing if there was any effort to keep it up. The clubhouse is a ghost town, the carts feel like they could breakdown at any point. You have to wait on the first tee until they bring you a cart. There is not cart person on the course. The range balls might be the original balls the course opened up with. Set your expectations low, very low and you will be ok.
Good course for the money
The course is solid for the most part. For 25 bucks you can’t really beat it around atx. The one thing that this course is in desperate need of is some work on the greens along with filling the bunkers with sand. Once that happens this has the potential to be an awesome course!
Ouch
Didn’t want to play here as I’d seen the reviews. A buddy booked here so went along for the ride. Felt taken at nearly $60. Reviews are true . Just don’t change over $20 and it’s a fair deal given the shape that’s it’s in. I’d have to say the roughest track in town. Not one to leave a negative review but @ $60 I’m going to voice my opinion
Two options for Blackhawks
Lower the green fee or improve course management.
As a foreigner visiting Texas, Black Hawks left me bad taste!!!
Probably the worst in Austin area
I can’t believe they charge $50 for this. all 20 greens (18 course +2 practice) are sand traps instead of greens. Also, greens have all sorts of weeds growing up through them. Can’t tell what is fairway or rough from the tee box. Staff was nice, but this course should be shutdown for repairs. Driving range was in poor condition as well.
Poor condition
As the title states, the course conditions were not good. Huge mud patches in the middle of many fairways made it better to be in the rough. More weeds than grass on the greens (when it wasn’t just sand). The course layout is fun with many hidden water features, but the conditions need much improvement. Also no marshal was out from 8-2pm on this day, allowing groups to be extremely slow. Shouldn’t have taken 5.5 hours to play.
Overpriced.
They charge $50 per person for a course that is very poorly maintained. The greens are like sandy concrete which is ironic because the bunkers are devoid of sand. This course could be great but it’s been long neglected by the owner.
