Blackhawk Golf Club

This course isn’t even close to being playable. Quite honestly I’m irritated that it’s even open. This course is terrible. Just putting on those greens are like playing Plenko on the price is right. I would request a refund for that piece of trash, but I know I wouldn’t get it.

I’ve lived in Austin for almost 20 years and used to play here regularly when it still had bunkers and was in much better shape. It is in the worst shape since opening and it’s the worst of anything within 50 miles. I play 2-3 times every week, and use golfnow each time and always playing different courses. I feel like I haven’t seen course conditions this bad since Lago vista a couple years ago.

On top of that, the pace of play was god awful and not a Marshall in sight. Even at $20 it wasn’t worth it, and I have zero plans of ever going back.

Played here way back in the day and it was a super nice course. It has been let go bad. Driving range was closed. Fairways were sticky mud with almost no grass. Basically had to get lucky to get a nice lie. Greens have weed patches all over them, so your basically doing trick shots instead of putting. Was kind of disappointed to see how bad this place was let go. All the staff was super nice though.

The course is fine if you're looking for a last minute, affordable round, but don't expect it to be anything special. The layout is decently fun and creative, but the conditions have been horrible for years, and seemingly without any efforts to improve. Even for $40-50, that price doesn't necessarily seem fair, when it doesn't feel like the money is going towards any course improvements.

The City of Pflugerville, assuming they own , need to step up and maintain this course better. It’s a decent layout but vent few holes are in decent shape. Course is affordable and playable except for #10 which is far too close to Kelly Lane traffic. It’s very unsafe for the majority of golfers who may tend to to Alice the ball into an oncoming windshield. How do they get away without high fencing to protect the drivers?! This hole has been reduced to a short par 3 due to the construction. The golf course was there long before the development that encroaches it. Poor planning and management.

Where else can you pay for 18 holes with a cart and bucket of range balls for $30? The course conditions aren't the best but you're able to play for a hefty discount, I'll definitely go back!

Im here to write an honest review because some of these reviews are optimistic and give credit where it isn’t due… yet.

I believe Blackhawk can come back, but it’s far from it currently. I’ve played Blackhawk for 15 years so I actually have a reference. They are overcharging and overbooking. The greens are still very rough and have crabgrass/bumps throughout. Fairways and tee boxes are bad too. They charge more than the other local municipals courses. WORST part is the groupings/ cart management. They didn’t have carts for people, well that’s because I saw multiple groups with four carts out there. 1 person per cart. Which makes zero sense if you are have a cart shortage. I also saw multiple groups exceed 4 golfers. I saw one group of 6 golfers and another group of 5 golfers and 2 girlfriends, that’s 7 people hanging out on the green… no wonder pace of play was slow.

This place has a nice track and I used to enjoy it a lot because it was worth the muni price. But poor management of pace of play, overcharging and greens/fairway have made this place not worth while. They are trying to squeeze out more money without fixing their issues. I really hope to see a turn around here. I’ll be back when they start acting like a real golf course and not a overpaid goat track with huge groups moving slowly. Good luck Blackhawk… get to work!
