Length 7174 yards
Slope 139
Rating 74.2

Located just 15 minutes northeast of downtown Austin, ShadowGlen Golf Course is considered by locals to be one of the area's hidden gems. At 7,174 yards from the back tees, it is a long, tough course that will test even the most seasoned players. Some consider it to be the most difficult public golf course in Texas. The layout has a links design that is mostly flat but there are a few hilly spots that can cause some trouble, especially the holes that were designed with steep drops. The narrow fairways require accuracy and the well manicured greens play fast and are often bordered by strategically placed bunkers or contoured mounding. There are also water hazards coming into play throughout, including the wandering creek that cuts across the golf course.

This is a fun track!

This is a really fun course. The layout is nice the holes have a wide variety of shot required. The one thing I’ll say is I recommend playing the ball up at this course the fairways get a little hairy in some spots.

Course was in good shape. Greens were rolling medium, and straight. Back 9 was challenging, but great scenery.

Beautiful back 9

The layout is enjoyable. the rewards and penalties for my drives were fair. The grass on fairways is a bit long but not too bad. Green seemed a bit slow but that's to me, but I am from north Texas, and the locals I played with didn't seem care. I really liked the scenery of back nine. The views were beautiful. The starter (forgot the name) was very friendly and nice, making my impression on the course very positive, Overall, it's a good course with nice people and beauty. There are some maintenance issues but the conditions match to the price I paid I think.

굿굿

골프코스가 차량 다니는 도로를 넘나드는 게 불편하지만 전반적으로 관리가 잘된 편입니다. 스태프들도 친절하고요.

Best fairways in Central Texas!

Awesome fairways, best in the Austin area. One of the only courses that put money back into it and overseed during the winter with rye. Fairways are thick and lush, all other courses in the Austin area are not even close in quality.

We are glad you noticed! Overseeding fairways is not cheap but we are committed to offering great conditions year round. I would love to hear more from you! Please email me at kirk@shadowglengolf.com

The pace of play was atrocious!!! The round took close to 5 hours and we had to wait 10 plus minutes on each tee box. Didn't see one marshal during our 5 hour round. Shadow Glen is becoming teravista with the pace of play. I was playing Shadow Glen around 2 times a month but after the last two rounds taking this long i will probably start looking elsewhere to play. Such a shame because this was one of the better courses around Austin.

Simple math tells me that if you did wait 10 minutes on each tee box then it only took you 2 hours to play golf.
