ShadowGlen Golf Club

All of the markers on the sprinkler heads were gone and there was not a 150 marker or 100 marker? Better bring your distance finder.

Quite a challenge! Beautiful course with beautiful wild flowers and great natural layout of trees orchards.

Some areas of course were very wet and cart path on those made sense. Others were dry enough to take cart out, at least into the rough. Lots of walking, I think this kept the crowd down, which was a plus.

Short and sweet for everyone... I used to love this course because it was pristine at a somewhat reasonable price. While difficult, it was arguably the most well kept course in town. That was five years ago. Now and over the last few years, it has gone downhill. The greens are in shambles. The staff didn't inform, either over the phone or upon our arrival, that the course had issues (portions of holes being off-limits, all greens being either dead or with replacement squares of grass, and price increases). For $95 bucks, I cannot recommend. For $50, i'd still pass. You simply cannot track your handicap on this course at this time. I'll try again in another couple years when conditions improve. Tried to include a picture but not sure if it will work. perhaps try google or other review, can't be the only one who experienced this.

Once one of my favorites, this place has fallen to pieces. When they came back from the precipice of failure 8 years ago, I was the biggest champion of this course. It’s a fun and flexible layout, used to have a chill vibe - with people that cared about the quality of the experience and the quality of service.

That’s all gone now.

If you do decide to book a tee time here, call - ask them which greens have grass on them. Even while they’re holding the phone they can use one hand to count.

Usually the pace of play is good at Shadow Glen, but not on Monday. Seemed like one group was holding up three other groups and nothing was done about it. The pace picked up on the last three holes, mainly because that other group finally finished. Guess they didn't know how to play ready golf.

I like the course overall, greens are not as good as I have seen them in the past, hopefully they will fill in with the warmer weather. At least it does look like work is being done to get the course into shape.

This is a sad story of a course that literally came back to life almost a decade ago, became probably my favorite hidden gem in the Austin area and is now a complete waste of time.

We played on greens that had maybe 10% of the surface area actually covered with turf. When we asked the staff what happened it was “you know, Austin courses” Like, huh? We just finished playing three other courses this week that were pristine.

That same attitude carried to every aspect of service. Even down to your choice of beer.

Total dogtrack now. That’s a bummer, It has a great layout that makes you use a lot of different clubs and shots - it’s just that nobody around there cares anymore.

Sadly, crossing this one off the list permanently.

Nice layout. Greens were rough. Pace a bit slow. I played right after lots of rain and course was flooded in places. Enjoyed the course overall.

Love how back nine is different with the Austin foothills course layout

The greens were in poor condition - infested with an odd grass that caused the ball bounce and go off line.

Pace slow 4.5 hours due to a slow threesome and no ranger.

Greens are awful and not maintained. Over priced for the course conditions. Go to Star Ranch GC up the road for a better experience.

I liked the course. Nice layout and it was in good condition except the greens. Obviously the cold had killed most of them. Nothing but sand, mud and weeds. It will be a while before they can be recovered.

Really nice layout. Course has taken a beating from the rain and the inconsistent temperatures. Greens were a mess, but just needs a little time and warmth for the Poa Annua to die out and the Bermuda to recover.

Played the Saturday before Easter and the staff was incredible besides their one marshall. I get that our group was slow but you do not need to threaten to kick us of the course for being a few minutes behind. Also if you are going to warn us don't yell from your cart while we are putting on the third green and then drive off before we can say anything. I would not be coming back if it wasn't for the other staff members being so great and the course being insanely fun. Side not that pizzas is INCREDIBLE.
