ShadowGlen Golf Club
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
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 course
Overall very nice course. Only complaint is tee areas are small and not in very great shape. Fairways very nice for this time of year and greens in nice condition also.
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
Love shadowglen
Beautiful course with great fairways and greens. Played here many many times and it never gets old.
Back 9
Having played 8 courses while in Austin for 3 weeks, this back 9 was the best we’ve played.
Challenging and beautiful.
Fantastic!!
Unbelievable Fairways greatstaff I felt it was like June in Austin out there the greens were amazing! Very impressed with the maintenance crew and pro shop gentleman. They all need a raise!!
Nice course. Was busy but the round moved through at a good pace.
Greens and Faiways are in pretty good shape for December.
Shadowglen 12/21/29
I teed off at 1:48 and left the course with 4 holes not played at 6:00. The pace of play was frustrating.
First time and enjoyed
Went after rain, course was wet but in good condition will return
Exciting layout
I took the advice from online review of top 10 best course to play in Austin.
Indeed, it was worth it. The fairway had green grass in this cold weather plus the excellent green w a good speed.
Great Course
I loved playing for the first time. Very challenging course, a little steep on price but greens are in magnificent shape
Foggy wet and the best training for Scotland I could get in Central Texas.
Course was good. Pace of play was slow given the conditions. Even our group was a little slower than usual. 90 degree turns. This course is very challenging because of the unknown hazards, dog legs, sharp down slope fairway sides, uneven sloping greens and unusual pin placements makes this the toughest public course I play regularly. Overall a great day in rainy weather.
