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.

Unfortunate Conditions
I understand that the options for public courses in Austin are limited. However, the conditions at Blackhawk were the worst I've ever experienced. While you do get what you pay for, a fee of $60 feels excessive for this type of course, especially when you can find similar ones in much better condition for the same price.
Downhill is being generous
This course almost looks abandoned. Weeds have taken over. Greens are not kept up. Food is not prepped, so be sure to order ahead. I knew going in, that they are not the best course around. I can honestly say they must be the worst. I’ll never go back. Which is sad, because I am in the neighborhood behind the course.
Lost for words
It probably was a nice course when it was first built. That’s the best I could come up with.
