Style Links
Par 72
Length 7072 yards
Slope 125
Rating 74.5

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.

Fun/Fast with below average course conditions

Greens are chopped, but pace of play was great and minimal groups shooting at you every hole. Enjoyed the round!

Poorways

Fairways are worse than ploughed fields. Most Greens are poor.

By far the worst course I have ever played.

Will not return.

Horrible - shouldn’t be charging people money to play here!

Course conditions are worse than a goat ranch.

Counter lady rude and hating life.

Greens, most not even worth trying to putt

Some holes couldn’t find your ball on the fairwy

Crab and st Augustine grass everywhere

No signs directing you, t box pushed way up to a par 3 on 10. No signs, no one telling us anything.

I’ve okayed here a while back and hated it but buddy want it because it’s cheap. It was worse this time and I didn’t think it could get worse than last time.
