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
Don't bother
The course is in terrible shape and you will often have a hard time finding your ball on the fairway. If they charged 15 bucks a round it would be a better deal but for 30-40 bucks on weekends you can play infinitely better courses.
Rathole
The course is either going to be sold or becoming residential real estate! The fairways were horrible, tee boxes just the same. Greens were nice. The place was preparing for a funeral. If you like to play golf, don’t waste your money here.
Course Upgrade
This course has the potential to be a great track to play but the fairways are spotty at best and the bunkers are ridiculous to play out of. The bunkers are the most neglected part of this course, they have grass growing out of them and I don't think they have been raked in years. REPAIR THE BUNKERS TO PLAYABLE CONDITIONS!!
One photo is a bunker the other is a fairway. It is tough to tell the difference.
Mid Week Golf
I was pleasantly surprised by the conditions of the greens. Last time here they weren’t great so I wasn’t expecting much. Greens rolled great a fast.
Course is open but needs work
It is one of the few courses open at this time, but the course conditions need work. A good basic course but not one attractive to players used to better conditions. Manyhomes are fairly near the fairways..
Getting Better
Not the worst course I’ve ever been too. Pace of play is great, it’s never too busy here, and the tees and greens are improving. Must admit the fairways are barren in certain areas, but the value is definitely there. Solid course, inexpensive, and enjoyable. I can travel out to Manor or Lago Vista, even TeraVista anytime. Blackhawk is my “go-to” when I need the extra practice on an actual course.
A course that has terribly gone down hill!
Pretty sad the conditions of this course. The sand traps look like craters after a bomb went off. Crab grass is the official grass of the fairway. The rough, well, weeds that might eat you if you walk into them. Look else where to play.
Fun course
Really fun course to play. Sections of fairway can be a bit bumpy and hard, but the greens are all really solid. Very friendly staff - great value coming out to Blackhawk!
Getting better
This obviously isn’t a top notch course, BUT...if you’re wanting to play somewhere local, not extremely busy, and at a great VALUE, Black Hawk is the spot. The greens and fairways are getting MUCH BETTER. I played last week and hasn’t been in more than 3 weeks and saw a drastic improvement. Anyhow, it’s solid, and playable.
Needs TLC
The greens were in amazing shape but that is really the only redeeming quality of this course. The bunkers had weeds and standing water in them. The fairways were riddled with dead spots of grass or no grass at all.
MOO!
Though a nice layout, this course is literally in as bad a shape as any course I have ever played in 34 years of playing. A total shame. I'm not even sure how to describe it. Greens were surprisingly decent. Won't be back to Blackhawk.
