Blackhawk Golf Club

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.

Been here once before 5 years ago. Not good then. Awful now. Really bad.

Have you ever walked in a house and the smell of mildew carpet and cat litter box was so bad you had to leave or you would end up puking? That's what it's like playing this course. Except I'd already paid and had to stay.

I asked about the ownership.

I was told the course is for sale.

Makes sense.

Because this course is a joke.

The course has a very nice layout, but apparently has not been maintained in a looong time. Weeds and bare spots all over the fairway, the bunkers, are nothing but mud and weeds...unplayable. The greens are in surprisingly good shape.

If you like playing golf in a weed infested barren course , then BlackHawk is for you! If you are skilled enough to land your drive on a six inch square of grass, then play isn’t bad. More dirt and weeds than grass. Bunkers are out of play (which is ok for me) but are a total eye sore. The course looked like it hadn’t been mowed in months, and definitely was not even what the least knowledgeable golfer would expect. When I played this course for 20 bucks, I never really noticed. But at 34, and couldn’t even take my wife as a tag a long for less than 20, heck no. I understand times are hard, and covid 19 has put a damper on everything, I also understand the reason for a cart rider fee, (people cheating the system, which sucks in its self) but dear lord... outrageous prices, crappy landscaping, and an over bad experience. Will not return.

Nice layout, great potential, but poorly maintained.

Staff is friendly. Greens are in great shape. My friend made 4 birdies. Awesome to witness.

This course could be really nice, but there were weeds all over the fairways, no real clear separation of fairway and rough, the bunkers were not maintained and had grass/weeds in them.

I realize this is a difficult time but I would expect the course to be maintained to some degree.

Due to covid 19 they were adjustment but fun course

The course is so much fun to play. The course needs a little love. But alls and all was a good experience. Will definitely visit again.

Overall the course was in horrible condition with a 6 hour pace of play. It was a very unpleasant experience. Also had rude customer service. Will NOT be returning to this course.

After arriving 10 minutes EARLY, they said they were out of carts. After 30 minutes of waiting, they gave a cart to the later tee times and said sorry we can’t help you. Had the nerve to say it’s our groups fault for not choosing to walk. Image being early to your tee time, they make you wait 30 minutes for a cart, then give the cart you’ve been waiting for to the later tee time And say it’s your fault for missing your time. Bet you’d be heated too.

If there wasn’t a barrier between me and the staff, I’d probably be sitting in the back of the sheriffs car. These dull folks are beyond incompetent and don’t know how to manage times or customers. The owner of this place needs to step in.

I would give this place zero stars if I could. We did not even get to play. I got to the course at 3:50 early for a 4:20 tee time. They said wait until a cart came available. I came back nicely at 4:10 and the guy lied and said 4:10 already checked in but wasn’t true. There were tons of carts but they said none were there. 4:40 rolls around and he says no carts for us but gave a cart to 4:40?! It was unprofessional, unintelligent, and didn’t care. This is the worst golf experience I have ever had. He would not even let us pay. If you do want to play golf on a nice Friday afternoon, DO NOT COME HERE.

Nothing special, but great value golf in easy driving distance from Austin.

Well maintained course that’s pretty open but still challenges you. Great service even during Covid 19.

Blackhawk is a fairly nice golf course where much needed improvements have been made on the course itself. I think the prices are fair and the staff is excellent with the exception of Nick. Nick can exhibit a "I'm doing you a favor by letting you play here" attitude. If you can look beyond his attitude, you'll have no problems. The pace is average and the marshals let you play. They are all friendly, not like Star Ranch (with the exception of Nick). The wind is always blowing at Blackhawk which makes the course more challenging.

It's "COVID-19 time" so you have to take that into consideration, but this is a very** neglected golf course.

We golfed here because there were no other available tee-times.

It's sad to see a course that has potential be so neglected...and that has been happening for a while - not just during this pandemic.

This is ghetto golf.

The good news is the pace of play was excellent.
