Blackhawk Golf Club

I read some really discouraging reviews of the course but decided to give it a chance.

TLDR; the reviews were on point, the course is in terrible shape but has a good layout. Not worth your time and money. I’d only play here for $10-15 a round just to practice..

Pros

- good, fun layout

- friendly staff

Cons

- fairways were dead, literally hardpan patches everywhere. It was like hitting off asphalt

- bumps and mounds everywhere, including on fairways. And not due to natural or designed undulation.. almost injured while riding cart

- greens were dead, pretty much dirt with patches of dead grass

- bunkers unplayable

The layout is fun. But don’t plan on putting on anything remotely smooth. The fairways are bumpy and super patchy. It’s just not well kept. I’ve played there 3 times over the last 8-9 months. In the summer there were sooooo many types of tall blade grass and weeds. Then that died and the course was…better. Then they didn’t figure out how to keep the decent grass alive so now everything is just dead. The cups were in decent shape actually…I like this course but I can’t see myself playing it until maybe 2023.

Just DONT play here unless you want to break your back

I only write this as a warning to fellow golfers.

Blackhawk golf course has a lot* of potential but is very neglected.

The greens have small sand bunkers in them, and grass missing...it's really bad all over (fairways, tee boxes, the real sand bunkers are overgrown with grass).

Apparently, the owners are selling it to a developer and they're just waiting for the deal to go through, and then they will close the course and build houses there.

Great driving course, on in two on a few par 4's. You can survive missed shots.

Caught up to 2 foursomes that slowed everything down....

18 is hard to decide where to go with water easily drivable so cut to the right i guess.

I love the layout! There are a mix of challenging and forgiving holes throughout the front and back nine.

This is the first time I have played this course. It is a little rough but not bad for the winter. The cost wasn't bad as I got the senior rate.

The tittle says it all.

Unless you’re a brand new golfer , don’t even waste your time thinking about playing here. I’m pretty sure they just use this place to launder money.

Course is rough. Not the “I mishit the ball and now must play from challenging conditions“ kind of rough, but “I’m going to crack a vertebra driving my cart to get my ball” kind of rough.

Good layout, the greens run true if a bit slow and bumpy, but needs some TLC. Trade someone a year of free golf to smooth it out with a small crawler dozer and seed / water the fairways. Or drop the price about $10 a round.

Not worth the time or money. No grass on greens. Not a level tee box anywhere.

First course I've played in Texas.

Loved it

Room for errors for a guy from Alaska!

For Blackhawk , the course was in pretty good shape. The greens were in good shape , a little too firm and fast for my liking though. Fairways are are super firm with tight lies . For the money though it’s a great deal , paid $24. Most people know BH isn’t what it used to be , but it’s still a fun round.

Also , the carts have seen better days lol.

Fairly easy course with large fairways and some fun tricky shots. Staff is always friendly and so is the community. Had a guy throw me my ball I hit into his backyard and he gave me a few extra nice balls in return
