Blackhawk Golf Club

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.

Blackhawk is one of the Austin area's better golf experiences for the money. While not the longest or most challenging corses in the area, Blackhawk usually has great greens and some challenging par threes. I first played Blackhawk in the '80's and played it recently for the first time in years. It was a nostalgic and entertaining 18

Took a chance considering the previous reviews about the course being wet, but was pleasantly surprised. Didn't see any wet spots except for some of the bunkers that hadn't been filled in and sodded over. Greens were the best part of the course. Fairways are being worked on as well as filling in some of the bare spots between fairways with Zero landscape. Fairways 3,5,6,10 has bare spots and holes that could be filled in and sodded. Can see progress with the new management.

Greens good, but fairways have bare patches, some traps have little sand in them and do not drain. Traps need trimming, Clubhouse very dated, range balls awful. Parking lot has big pot holes.

Greens were in great condition but the fairways were very rough.

Great greens... Fairways and tee boxes not so much

Played yesterday (2nd time playing) and was a little disappointed in how wet the course was. My friend recently told me that they over water the course. The first time I played (about a month ago), I didn't see that except in the bunkers a little. Yesterday, the course was literally underwater in spots and I don't believe we had a thunderstorm of that magnitude the previous night. More than once I hit the ball in the fairway and was literally in a puddle of water or a puddle of mud. It wasn't every hole but it was enough to cause minor frustration. If it was rain the previous night, fine, if not, then they need to get the irrigation under control because the water was borderline ridiculous.

Other thing, there was a father and son foursome in front of us (2 dads and what appeared to be 2 kids maybe 6-8 years old). They were playing crazy slow. While I understand playing with your son and the importance of it, I don't get the cavalier attitude they showed the entire round even when not hitting. They were incredibly slow and it felt like there was justification for the martial to at minimum ask them to speed up on things like walking to your ball, number of practice swings, walking off the green etc.. Our round was 5 hours and we were a two some. Though being slow and having a noticeable line backed up behind them, they took a 10-15 minute break on the turn which ultimately caused our round to have a 20-25 minute delay on the turn. We literally had to get out an warm up again to keep from tightening up. Didn't see a marshall once and the slow pace affected our play... Situations like this, although delicate, need to be better regulated especially on days when you know there will be a crowd (labor day). Still a nice course but there are a few annoyances..

Course has potential but is in rough shape. Evidently new ownership is pouring a lot of money into improving the course conditions but they still have a long way to go. Started our round a little after 10 am and course was still overly watered. Will try this course again in a couple months to see if the improvements have taken affect.
