Style Links

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.

Blackhawk Firsttimers

Course was nice. Not very clear markings. Cart path was terrible and at some areas in drivable. The course is over watered and very wet on a midday tee time with no rain in past month there were extreme amounts of standing water and the sand traps were just mud.

Not targeted at course managers, but patrons were not that friendly and constantly littering and leaving cigarette butts everywhere.

Terrible

They are not putting any money into the upkeep of this course. Dirt fairways and no sand in the sand traps. Head elsewhere.

Our Pairings were great

Best part of today was playin with 2 military vets (Duane and Dave). Course was long, but conditions were awful. (Bunkers last had sand in 1995 and most grown in with grass)

I wasn’t able to post my GHIN score because there was no active rating for this course. Grill was great at the turn. No coolers though. Overall a challenging yet fun course to play weekly. Bunkers could use some upkeep but the greens and fairways were in great shape considering the overwatering that occurs in November.

Rough course but playable

This course seems to be more roughly maintained than others I've played recently. The bunkers seemed poorly maintained. There were no trash cans or ball washing at the tees. However, the course has fewer places to lose balls to the left or right since there are mostly houses lining the course. The fairways and greens are reasonably well maintained but some cart paths need maintenance. There was lots of standing water on the course without recent rains.

Never again

Poor course conditions. Extremely slow play. Many beginning golfers or those more interested in beer drinking than golf..

Great for the MONEY!

Definitely a great course for the Money! Get a hot deal on Golf Now and ENJOY! Course has a good lay out, carts are in fair condition, greens are well kept (especially recently), fair ways are ok, but do have spots that resemble your cow pasture. Overall plays well and is fun cheaper outing for Golf!

Don’t waste your time

Where do I even start? Well I couldn’t tell difference between the rough and the fairway on most of the course. You better hope you don’t hit your ball in the bunker or you are either in what looks like black dirt or a grass bunker. Greens were not well kept at all. Wish I would have taken some pictures. I paid almost $50 on a Friday. Not worth it.

Don’t waste your money.

The fairways are comparable to a pasture.

More than half the greens are in poor condition, not sure what their doing with the “greens fees”.

Looking for a cheap round!

If you want a cheap round to just go play Blackhawk will work. The greens are decent , fairways are pretty rough but for a public course that mostly beginning golfers play it’s not the worst I’ve played.. Bottom line is you get a fun round for a good price.
