Course Highlights
The course layout earns high praise for its challenging holes, elevation changes, and well-maintained fairways and greens. Attentive staff, a drive-thru bar at the turn, and strong value make each round memorable.

About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
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.

Course is in excellent shape for late January

We played during the week for a "hot deal" rate and most certainly got our money's worth. The greens and tee boxes were in great shape. The fairway grass was thick, green, and mowed to a nice height. Pace of play was good; we were neither pushed or pushing others. I will play the course again.

Great course, for this time of year wow was it in good shape tee to green. Friendly service from the staff, ad man whichever pro was working the shop in morning was down on range after and I've never seen a better golf swing. Kid must hit carry it 340. All in all we'll be coming out here more often they check all the boxes

ShadowGlen is the moooove

Yo this place is legit, best golf course to play on weekends if you're in the 26-35 range. Great young staff, they got a stellar beer selection and play good music, Bev cart service is always great. Oh ya and the course is pretty sick too back 9 is top 3 in atx great risk/reward finishing hole and its in arguably best shape of any course in town right now.

Wonderful Round of golf

Conditions were pleasing from tee box to greens. First time visitor who thoroughly enjoyed each hole's layout. Certainly at a disadvantage, but will try to master the course again soon.

Beautiful course

This course is in great shape and is an awesome layout. Quite possibly my favorite course in Austin right now. Just a great overall day, round went quick as nobody was out on course except for their teaching pro who is a PGA tour caliber player and drives it about 360 which was fun to see.

Excellent conditions for late January!

It may be late January, but the course was in excellent condition. The fairway were green and the fairway lies were just right. Greens and tee boxes were also in very nice shape. My playing partner and I finished in just under 4 hours. The course is tough, but not unreasonably so. I will be returning for sure.

Nice Course overall

Nice enjoyable round today. Only slight negatives are tee areas are small and get chewed up quite a bit. Also, only saw one trash can and ball washer the entire round.

May explain some of the cans and trash seen in some of the rough areas. Would help to have several of them around the course.

Playing from the white tees much easier for a senior like myself.

Nice

I'll tell you what ShadowGlen is the real deal. Best fairways in this city and that includes courses that cost twice as much I'm dead serious. What they've managed to do with this place in the past year is remarkable, I hadn't been out here in 10 months and couldn't believe what kind of shape this course was in. And that's coming from someone who plays Forest Creek and Star every week. It's always been a top layout in Austin (especially back 9) and its nice to see it live up to its potential
