ShadowGlen Golf Club

Beautiful course in great condition. Staff was great. Pace of play was almost unbearable. We couldn’t finish the last 6 holes which are the best part of the course, because of darkness. Stuck behind slow play all afternoon. It’s a problem for golf in general I don’t blame the course. It’s an awesome golf course just go early so you can complete your round and expect a 5 hr round.

Very unfortunate what has become of this course. No starter, no marshalls. A round takes 5 hours, and they don't appear to care. Three guys behind the counter, nobody out on the course.

Maintenance of the course is poor. Greens are very bumpy and slow. Need rolling at least. Many places on the course either flooded, or need to be mowed.

Because of the slow play, it got dark with 4 holes to play.

Too many better options. Won't be back.

Worst of all, probably, they argue with honest reviews and tell them that they won't be missed, and/or don't know what they're talking about. Wow.

Love this course, but today was an overwhelming disappointment. Our round took an excruciating 5+ hours - literally waiting on every single shot. I get that COVID has increased the number of weekend golfers but Shadow Glen appears to overbook their tee sheet and has no starter and no marshal to keep things moving. You've raised prices, now can you please pay someone to monitor pace? Otherwise, things were ok with exception of the fairways which looked like they hadn't been mowed since Thursday or Friday.

The course is challenging, which always makes it fun. It is a good test, each time you go out. The only negative was they reversed the front 9 and back 9.

I preferred the other set up better, because one nine (now the back) is definitely more challenging.

As always, Shadowglen refuses to use course marshals to speed up play. Another 5 hour round and no marshal seen on a Saturday. Multiple times we had to wait as the group in front of us teed off

Aren't Marshall's supposed to inform a group of players to keep up with pace? Seems like the group in front of group been taking their time, and actually removed my group's player's ball....from the green after shooting from the driver line.... (Par 4). It really pushed me and my friend off.

I dont often rate courses. Very average course for the money. Not in good condition like advertised unfortunately

No Marshall taking care of peace of play. Course not In good shape.

Little did I know, there was a 60 man tournament that was set to tee 10 minutes before the public. Would’ve liked a heads up from the course. Also wet like a marsh on half the fairways

Due to overseeing, the course was extremely wet. The greens on the front side were very wet and slow. Overall, they were very slow and you had to pound the ball. I fear my next put on a real green! Some of the fairways were similarly wet. The ball did not roll at all.

I realize this is a short term condition but there was no warning about this, it really affected the overall experience, and my scores in the rating.

Great course, challenging and fun at the same time, greens were in great shape for mid October. Tee boxes could’ve used a little trimming.

Not bad. Not good. But it was golf and that made it fun. Course was wet and sloppy. Not intuitive and no yardage book made it tough to know lay up spots.

Overall the course was in great condition, a couple muddy spots but what else can you expect in mid October. Tee time was for 2:46pm and couldn’t finish hole 18 due to slow pace of play with no one to enforce slow playing. Apparently the Marshall generally leaves around 4, so I was told. But we finished playing around 7pm. Not to mention it was 90° with zero cart girl making her rounds after passing us on the first hole. Come early and prepared, you’ll enjoy the course much more with the nice greens.

Typically I am extremely generous with my ratings and acclaim given to golf courses. Here's a stark reality for ShadowGlen.

70 dollars to play on a Saturday morning that had crabgrass all over the fairway, Unmanicured holes whether it be the transition from fairway to rough or tee box to fairway. The tee boxes had 4 inch grass. bald and dead spots all over the holes, and a terrible water irrigation system that just caused extremely soggy and mushy fairways.

If they lowered the cost to 40-50$$ it would definitely soften the blow.

It's pretty obvious this course (and most others) use Austins increasingly golf popularity to put up overpriced tee times. Typically you need to book 3-4 days in advanced just to get a tee time you're looking for and each course in Austin will fill up completely.

Advice: If youre going to leverage the bustle of Austin, increasing golf interest, and sheer reservation tee time scarcity to charge higher tee time prices, atleast put the work in to try to make the course look better than a Muni in North Dakota during the winter.
