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.

Golfer Reviews
Not recommended for beginners
We are not the best players so typically we let people behind us play through. The party behind us did not want to as they were just as bad but the Marshall kept getting on us about pace of play. So we switched to a 2 man scramble to speed up and skipped a hole but the Marshall was following us the whole way... Not recommended for beginners unless you want the Marshall following you every hole
Sell it
Sell the place so that a group can turn it into a decent track.
Terrible course
I will never waste my money to play this course again. It’s in terrible condition. Grass growing in the bunkers, y’all grass growing in the middle of the fairway. I believe the person who owns the course wants to sell the course and doesn’t want to put any money back into the course. Terrible business thought. Wouldn’t you want to attract potential buyers.
Non the less last time I spend a penny there

Fairways
Green and tee boxes very good. Fairways have bare spots and no signs of correcting. Huge weeds in fairways and roughs and no signs of correcting.
Not worth the money
I’ll start with the positive, really the only positive, the greens were in wonderful shape and played well. However, the fairways were a mixture of all types of grass, weeds, sand, dirt, mud, you name it. I never had the same shot twice. I played on a Sunday and it was over a 5 hour round, never saw a marshal at all. Just play somewhere else.
Not worth the money
over priced for poorly maintained tee boxes, fairways, and rough. Bunkers had no sand and lots of weeds in many of them. Lots of dead hard dirt in the fairways. Only decent part was the greens were fairly good and I like some of the hole layouts.
Sad
Used to be a great course but the unwillingness to have a practice facility or give the fairways a little attention is sad. It fills the need of lesser expensive country golf but has so much more potential. I’d rather pay a few more dollars and play Tera Vista, Avery Ranch or Star Ranch
Horrific
Quite possibly the worst conditions in the area. Sprinklers have likely not been run at any point in the summer. Bunkers and fairways are concrete, with more dirt than grass (where there is grass, it’s hard pan conditions). It’s such a shame, this course has a fantastic layout (although they did squeeze some fairways in where they may not have had the room...), and with proper maintenance could be one of the best in the area. I like to scoop up the $12-$15 hot deals, I wouldn’t pay more than that.
Hmmmmmm
Where does the crabgrass end in the fairway begin?. Course was over-watered causing the turf to be soggy and the bunkers to be puddles on the front and rock hard on the back. I'd rather pay $20 more up the street for Forest Creek.
Every city needs a Blackhawk
Pretentious golfers, steer clear. This course is for people who love the game but don't have big money to spend on it. Personally, I'm glad that it still exists.
Don't get it twisted, the people who whine on here about the fairways and bunkers are right. It's not going to win any awards. The greens are decent, the tee boxes are up to par, and the layout is fun — scoreable, but with enough challenges to keep it interesting.
Twice in the past month I've played in under 4 hours with groups of humble, young golfers who are just out for a good deal and a fun time. Good players, too. Just don't expect a perfect lie and don't pay the peak rate. Beware that they expect the carts back by 8 p.m., well before dark.
Nice Course
Price was great. Greens were nice but would’ve liked the pace of play to be better. Overall enjoyed the course.
