Blackhawk Golf Club

Worst course experience in a long time. Not enough carts for the scheduled tee times, we were delayed 40 minutes. The starter let two other groups ahead of us with later tee times. Course is in horrible shape which I knew going in, the customer service was the reason for the poor review.

It was the worst condition course I’ve ever played. The greens and fairways were horrible

Nice layout but all greens were in terrible condition.

Wonderful staff; however, the course needs a lot of work.

This course is not at all maintained and not at all playable. This course is potholes, dirt patches, weeds and overgrown fairways. Cannot even putt due to condition of greens. The clubhouse looks like a run down abandoned building. The carts are dirty and have destroyed upholstery.

Barely worth a $20 afternoon green fee and a $50 weekend fee is a total waste of money. The upside is since no one plays it much a tee time is easily available when other area courses are booked.

Greens are horrible. Very little grass and heavily spotted with poa ana. So much so that putting is like bumper pool bouncing your ball from spot to spot. Green collars are undefined and poorly kept so that chipping and pitching around the greens is both an adventure and a joke.

Tee boxes are also poorly kept and often very un-level. Not much grass on them either mostly sand and dirt.

Overall it is obvious that no money is being spent on the golf course. However it does appear that a lot of water and money is being wasted in a few places because standing water was in quite a few places It is another example of the lack of interest management has in the appearance and play ability of the course.

I only gave the course 1 star because that is the minimum but I’d really rate it as at least a negative 1 star.

I’ll continue to play a late Friday afternoon 9 because it’s generally open and quick but I’ll make every effort to never subject anyone else to this golf course.

Greens are sub par, fairways are so so, restrooms leave alot to be desired, need to clean floors or change them n toilet seats differently need to be changed, they look old n really, really used. So either bring it up to standards or sell it. Cart path

Along the way needs many repairs before someone hurts themselves, otherwise layout of

Course is good n you could bring in more golfers

If updates are made

This will most likely be the worst course you ever play on. The fairways and rough are indistinguishable and are solid as concrete. The greens have weeds growing on them, so forget even being able to putt. It looks like it's been abandoned but yet you're still asked to pay a pretty penny. Icing on the cake is no water coolers on the course. Spend your money elsewhere, hopefully they close soon.

I’m not quick to write a bad review for anyone as we all know that’s usually mad people venting….this isn’t that…I’m not mad. I even used to be a member at the Hawk many moons ago and they kept things relatively nice. Over time conditions have worsened but they always made a point to keep the greens in good to great conditions. So you knew it’d be pasture golf til you got to the greens but you could putt okay. Now there’s weeds growing in every green and your ball just hops as you wonder how they get away with screwing people outta their money. Sorry Blackhawk- never again.

The course conditions have improved a lot! There’s noticeably more grass on the fairways, rough, and greens. There’s still some dead spots here and there, but not as many as before in the past few months.

The greens and green side areas can still use improvement though. Would help to get cut the grassy patches around the greens. Also, the soft dirt around the greens made chipping and pitching really difficult..

The staff was friendly as usual!

All in all, enjoyed playing here and will come again soon

It's the cheapest course in Austin and still over-priced.

The bathrooms are revolting!

The greens are trash.

The pace of almost 5 hours

And they ran out of their old, shabby carts.

There's no water on the course.

Barely any shade trees.

The clubhouse is disgusting.

Did I mention the restrooms were revolting?

This pee-soaked restrooms are the perfect metaphor for Blackhawk!

If you're looking for a casual round, don't care about the condition of the course, and can book at a low price, then this may be a good option. But don't come with high expectations.

First - I'd like to say that the staff was great! Understaffed at the snack bar, but everyone was very friendly.

Sadly, I struggle to find something good to say about the course condition. The fairways are very hard, underwatered, and have several ruts and dips in it. I think I lost a filling from the jarring ride on the golf cart. The greens are the worst I've ever seen - something (weed?) is growing into the green, so it's impossible to get a smooth roll. Much of the green has dead grass. Some of the cups have uneven cuts - more like chunks that fell into the hole because the dirt & grass was too dry.

The clubhouse and carts also need a lot of TLC. There's no coolers on the carts, so you'll have to take your beverages in trashbags of ice (which leak onto the bags during the game). Many of the carts have tears on the seats.

For a little extra money, you can play a much better conditioned course.

This place is in absolute disarray. Weeds and sand all.over the bunkers, can't tell the difference between the fairway and rough. Bald areas all over the fairways. Doesn't look like it's been watered or maintained in years. Putting was an absolute guess as to the bounces you're going to get. If your brand new to the game this is fine but otherwise steer clear.
