Blackhawk Golf Club

You can never really be sure if the fairways and/or greens will be in okay condition. Generally, both need far too much attention. I'm not sure if it's the grass(es), the grounds crew, or what. The layout is okay -- nothing too crazy as it's basically a flat, links style course. There are also a few houses in danger; some of them have signs of obvious trauma. At this point, I just can't recommend driving over to play it.

Blackhawk has the WORST range balls BY FAR that I have seen in entire Austin. Half the balls are so damaged it doesn't go any distance therefore impossible to judge anything from the practice shots. $5 for a small bucket of such atrocious range balls is ridiculous. Also, when we were hitting our tee shots on hole # 2, the cart girl just kept driving her cart without stopping. I have never seen that in all the rounds of golf I have played.

This is a great course for the money. The staff our also very helpful and friendly.

Very low price, Good architecture, good greens. The new owners are fixing the fairways, surroundings, and fairway grass. Once is completed it will compete with more expensive courses! All Greens were in GREAT SHAPE!

Played course on weekend and on first hole noticed it was in dire need of water. T-boxes were dry and hard, fairways dry, hard and ground was cracking. Greens were dry but playable. Sand bunkers were rock hard and had small rocks no sand. Even found beer cans in a couple of them. Saw Marshall twice at the #1 Tee and at the 18th green. Not a great experience, but a bad day of golf is still better than a great day at work.

The fairways were a little hard and need some watreing. There were spots where water sprinkler left on too long and soaked the areas making it muddy around the greens. The greens were good and well groomed.

I should have known before starting just based on the clubhouse - played from the blues. The greens are good, with the fringe very rough. The bunkers are mostly dirt with several having grass growing inside. Most of the fairways are very spotty with a fair amount of st augustine growing along the fairway. I was told they started working on rehaping the course 2 years ago? If it was in decent shape this would be a great place as there are several interesting holes, but I wont play it again.

The course is much better than past years, much improvements done to the course. Kudo's to the superintendent!

Our cart died at hole 12, saw three other carts being towed before we finished, fairways are horrible. Okay greens, the only good thing. Good hacker course. Could be a great course, has nice layout.

The course has an interesting layout. The greens are in great shape!. The main complaint I have is the bare spots where no grass ever grows in the fairway. They need to bring in some good topsoil for quite a few of their fairways!

It had been a few years since I'd last played Blackhawk. The hole configurations hadn't changed, and the course was largely the way I remember it.

Very few trees and sand traps ... does have a few water hazards, but apart from a couple of spots, there pretty easy to avoid.

Enjoyed the par 5s sprinkled throughout this mostly par 4 course. Even had a couple of dog-leg holes.

the greens were fast. and with the wind the par threes played long. but i if you keep the ball in the fairway you can score on this course.

The course has under gone major repairs like taking out sand traps and lots of water to soften the hard dirt from before. Still a little bumpy, the carts need to be updated and their are still a lot of no grass areas off the fairway. Good course to walk to get exercise.

The carts were very rundown looking. The course marshall was not very friendly. The staff inside the proshop were very cordial.

Good challenging course from the tips. It was crowded the day we played so it took some time and ran out of light on 17. Otherwise, had a good time.

Clubhouse is uninviting and restrooms were horrible. The staff is pleasant but not in a hurry to get anyone on the golf course on time. Layout was average and they need to get some maintenance updated.

The greens were in ok shape but the course itself was awful. Too wet in places and too dry in other places. Bunkers were not good. Areas in the fairway were in repair...some roped off and some not. Tried to talk to the proshop and they did not seem to care..told me the course was in great shape...when I started to question it then they said well, the greens were in great shape. No water on the course...in the coolers....they discovered this around 11:30 when it was about 100 degrees out and the humidity was very high. My first and last time to play here. Don't waste your time or money with this course.

could find some ponds along the course due to neigbor watering
