Blackhawk Golf Club

I had played at BH 2-3 years ago. So when I returned to it past weekend, I was expecting a course in fairly poor shape. There were still bunch of areas in bad shape (bare ground with no grass), but overall, it was in a better shape than I feared. Green was sanded and rolled reasonably well (but not very fast). It's not a course you would take your important guests or clients, but it's worth a visit once a while.

Some good holes, some bad holes. If you want to see several examples of where not to place houses along the fairways of a golf course, this is a good place to start your analysis. Course was in much better shape than what I recall in previous visits - many years ago. Greens were very good. Fairways were good with some rough spots here and there. Bunkers were in generally good shape as well.

This course dropped off my radar after my past experiences. I do see some improvements being made. If you want a golf fix, this is not a bad choice but there are nicer courses close by.

Decent course. I played it earlier in the year, but went back to see if it would be better. My major gripes are the greens and the course conditions on the back 9. The greens are in bad shape, and the back 9 fairways were in terrible condition. I would play again, but I would only pay $30 at the most. The staff is friendly and the pace of play is pretty good.

Blackhawk was in better conditions than I expected. Fairways were not too dry but an abundance of patches that are missing grass was annoying. We lost a couple of balls in water hazards after hitting tee shots in the middle of the fairway which was also annoying. The greens were decent but like the fairways had some spots missing grass. For a good deal on Golfnow it is worth the money but don't expect too much.

A really fun day, though the course was kinda rouch it's laid out well and was a good workout.
Just really started up playing again this last year and this is only the second time playing a round this year.

Play was good, with enough challenge but enough forgiveness to be fun. Green conditions were fair, but still seemed to play OK. Other parts of the course were not too good. There were huge holes in the turf on and near fairways, and blocked off obstacles that should have been fixed instead of being blocked off.

Value would be super if range balls were included in the Hot Deal price. Having to buy range balls and pay tolls make the effective cost twice that of the Hot Deal green fee. I can't fathom paying full price ($42) for this course. Lago Vista and Crystal Falls are far better for that price.

This course without a yardage book can drive you nuts. Water crossings in the normal landing areas. Fairways left a lot to be desired. Greens however were okay....

Had a good time. Will definitely come back and play.

Greens were just sanded and not bad the fair ways are in sad shape.Disappointed in the overall shape of the course this once was a very well maintained course, maybe the tough winter.

Played this course many of times over the years and course has slowly deteriorated. Greens and fairways are in terrible shape. Some fairways only have half grass and other half dirt and rocks. I gave this course many chances but seems to disappoint me every time. I would rather play at any austin muni course than this one. Layout is good but conditions being bad takes away from it. Such a shame.

The weather was not ideal. It was a little windy with a fine mist when we started. The course had a lot of sand on the greens which makes for TERRIBLE puts all around. Combine that with pits in the fairways and rock boarders all around, and light rain make for a long day. Not sure I would suggest this place to friends.

It was a good day for. Golf and an enjoyable experience.

I have played several courses in the Austin/Round Rock area since moving to Georgetown four years ago. I am an 8 handicap and have played golf for 37 years. This golf course has continued to go downhill in the past four years. Whether it is poorly managed or losing money and can't afford to take care of the grass, it is in poor condition, except for most of the greens. The tee boxes are not well-kept or shaped. The fairways are very poor, with several fairways suffering from erosion, hard and dry patches that have no grass and that are sizeable-like the size of your driveway or bigger-and two fairways that have manholes IN the middle of them that are at least a foot or two high; that I have never seen anywhere on any other golf course. There were only four ball washers out of 18 holes and three of the tee boxes had gravel, not sand, on them. None of the traps were playable, mainly because their compostion is dirt, not sand, and it appeared that the course was irrigated the night before, resulting in mud and puddle-filled bunkers. This course is in need of some real TLC, and I will certainly NOT be spending any more of my money or time there.

The course is improving, although the greens are difficult to read. Things should improve more as the weather warms and the fairways get greener.

This course supposedly had recovered from bad condition from few years ago. It's in OK condition in my point of view except the bunker is still rocky and there are several roughs with lot of rocks. But for the price per round, it's worth going to.

Original tee time was 9:20 was delayed an hour and a half because of a freeze warning. We were told that we would start at 10 then was told it would be 11, ended up starting at 10:50. We asked for range balls and were told we couldn't be on the range because of the freeze warning yet everybody that checked in after us ended up at the range. We finally were given one small basket for 3 people 10 minutes before the Marshall called us to start. Dead spots in the fairways, dirt/mud patches in the fairways and dead spots in the greens. Won't be back.

Great time on the course. Only thing i didn't like was that there were several holes with houses along the entire fairway.

I'm not an expert Golfer by any means, but we like to grab last minute deals and go play 18 holes. This is the first that we've picked up on the GolfNow app that we've really been disenchanted with. The fairways were really rough, with large open patches of dirt with no grass. Construction in quite a few areas (including a collapsed bridge that you have to cross the course to detour). All bridges were 2x4 construction. No real scenic holes, and the majority of holes are just back and forth across a large field. I won't be going back.

Greens were okay but the fairways took a lot of damage from the recent storms. Will take some work to get it back up to par.

Enjoyed it. Will play again soon. Great staff. Beautiful.
