Blackhawk Golf Club

Had to find a last minute round this past Saturday and the course conditions were the worst I’ve seen. Marshal was friendly, pro shop was not. No water on the course for golfers or the grass. Greens were mostly sand and weeds. It honestly looks like they aren’t trying.

Pretty sure they are just letting the course die until people stop showing up.

Any course is fine if you are new to golf or looking for a cheap round. If you want a competitive round of golf and true greens, golf somewhere else. Fairways were hard and greens made birdies nothing but luck. One green was half sand and dirt. Literally zero grass.

There is just too much of the course is such awful shape to say it is a good value. It was difficult to play ‘from grass. Furthermore, the greens are in awful shape.

Love the hazard layout of each hole. There are water hazards and revines crossing the fairways. A few dog leg holes as well. Offers a great game of strategy placement. The course condition needs work, but hey, it is a course to play some golf at a fair price.

We payed for the sparked so it was fairly cheap but the course and fair way was just pitiful no grass and rocks and very bad greens with large sand patches and was like putting on concrete. 17 whole is just a straight construction site. Club house is out dated and I got a cold hotdog like FROZEN Had to ask to heat it up my self. No alcohol and semi warm drinks. Just not a places to spend a good amount of money.

DEF a practice round

Blackhawk is typically in pretty rough shape, but one can overlook that because they are one of the cheaper greens fees in town and have regular availability on the weekends. But this weekend the conditions were so bad it crossed the threshold to being unplayable. No longer worth it. Greens were basically just hard packed dirt, fairways weren’t any better.

I can't believe they still call this a golf course and change $50+ to play this thing. I wouldn't even call it a cow pasture because cows eat grass. There is no grass. I know now why this was the only place I could find an open time on a Saturday on short notice.

I booked a round for just $30 through a GolfPass membership, expecting the kind of quality I’d seen at that price point in Phoenix. I even told myself I wouldn’t be disappointed. At the first hole, I thought, 'Okay, this isn't too bad.'

But as the round went on, the fairways turned into a muddy mess, and the greens were in terrible shape. Well-struck tee shots would take huge bounces and end up lost in the bushes, and the putting was honestly soul-crushing. I ended up finishing about five strokes over my usual score.

If it hadn’t been for my partners, who were incredibly polite and witty, I don't think I could have finished the round. I wonder if the course will improve when the weather gets better, but honestly, I highly doubt it.

Great value for the money. The greens are decent but a few fairways are hurting. Overall great course for the money.

I’ve lived in Austin for almost 20 years and I’ve played this golf course doesn’t sometimes and it is literally the worst possible condition you can imagine. The worst thing is when you bring up the conditions to anyone that works there. Their response is simply to say that it’s the average price for a golf course around town and blaming it on inflation. It is a fun layout at the location is decent, but they have actually gotta start doing something to fix this golf course or otherwise they should just blow it up and add houses.

Fairway are solid mud, greens look like it ain’t been watered for years. if you do decide to play it, I’d like you to play a game, keep count of the holes that relatively green all the way and if you get past 3 you win. Absolute robbery for the price they charge, 15-20 would’ve maybe suffice.

Playing with a beginner is the only reason I would play here. The layout is great the course condition any time of year I horrible except for the greens which I would give a three star rating. I think its beyond saving needs complete renovation.

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.

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.
