ShadowGlen Golf Club

I really like this course a lot for it’s excellent course condition and layout for the cost. My grievance is charging $60 (which I have no problem paying for this course) and not informing anyone that the greens were punched. I understand this process needs to happen in order to maintain the course but at least INFORM us they are punched so we can have the option to play somewhere else or maybe reduce your rate to 30-40 dollars. But to not inform your customer’s is just plain lazy.

I had never been to Shadowglen golf course and I was very impressed with the staff and how nice the club was. The golf cart were more upgraded than a public course. The course was in excellent shape and I LOVE the fact they had a refreshment cart coming around to see if you need anything. Now I got a hotdeal off of golfnow and that is why my greens fees were reasonable otherwise its a little expensive but it makes sense its a golf club not a public course. You get nice amenities and that is what you pay for which is what the green fees are for. I found the course extremely challenging but it is for a more advanced player. I am a beginner but you will still have a great time. Take advantage of this great club. Their pro shop and their bar and grill are outstanding.

Go enjoy yourself at this luxurious golf course its worth the money.

Nice course and fun layout. Great fairways and greens. Will be back soon.

Got stuck behind a group of serious amateurs on 14, by the last hole, we had 3 groups on the tee waiting. One older gentleman our group hit the fairway from the tee, wind and terrain pushed it on the green where the amateurs were. They picked up the guys ball threw it In the woods, would’ve been his first legit eagle attempt ever. Overall a great place, but if they’re going to pack the course w golfers, they need a marshal.

I am A beginner this course was tough but challenging. Players should be aware lots of valleys bunkers a few water holes hills. I loved the fact that had a refreshment cart that came around all day. Course was in excellent shape. Staff really friendly they have a 19th hole that is open wearing a mask in clubhouse due to corona virus. I loved it. Didn’t play well but who cares had a great time. It will challenge all levels of players. Highly recommend it. They have a putting green also. Go check it out for yourself.

I’ve always enjoyed playing here despite the fact that it is on the opposite side of town (circle c). Best value. Great layout. I love the par 5 16th hole. 18 is kind of gimmicky for a finishing hole but that’s ok. Shot 70 from the blue tees. Says the slope was 137. I think it is more of 126-128. I will come back for sure.

Shadow Glen is a potentially great course made average at best by inattention to upkeep & management. To say it was rough around the edges is an understatement. There was a lot of unmown long grass & weed-grass in the fairways, hard pan dirt in areas that are just worn out. Some of the tee boxes were missing markers. Was playing blue tees, but couldn’t find them on two or three holes (they just plain weren’t there). Good layout and design but needs some management/leadership. I can play superior courses for less throughout the area.

Few par threes with some loooong holes. I’m not the best golfer so it was a challenge. I will be coming back for sure.

The greens were so bumpy and that the bunkers were filled with mud and water plus had a bunch of weeds growing in the fairways and rough

They have a small private club feel....good facilities. Better than muni's, but at muni price.

The course ain't in perfect shape, but nothing terrible.

The course layout is very good. I play here all the time, and the course never gets boring. It's a very good design. I have about 4 holes I know Par is gonna be a big challenge, and there are a few holes I know to go for Birdie. Hole 16 is a Par 5, not long, but it's a birdie hole if you hit first 2 shots well, if you mess up on either, it turns into a double bogie....it has a choice to make on the Drive, lay up short of bunkers, or go for it....your shot to the green if you go for it is Blind. This hole has many slight turns and hills. I also love how holes 9 and 18 are birdie holes. It leaves you with a good taste. I normally shoot 82-84. Because I play the course a lot, I can shoot 78, but there are days I blow up and shoot 86.

Shadowglen is well worth the drive to Manor. I live South austin, but I make the 25 minute drive at least once a week.

Played here 2 weeks ago and they’d just aerated the greens. I play all over and it’s a much needed maintenance but when I called to book the tee time nobody told me and I paid full rack rate $52.

Then we’re thinking the greens are okay by now, 2 weeks later, yesterday, we paid $62 and the greens are aerated but WORSE.

Fairways are good but traps suck. Some are just pure mud, some have sand, few are raked or worked.

We won’t be coming back. Sorry to be so hard on them but they need to k ow this isn’t acceptable. We drive 25 miles to get there and it’s just not $62 of golf. $22 maybe.

First time playing this course. Loved the layout! Pin positions were excellent and 5 tee choices made the game fun for everyone. We tee’d off 10 minutes late but still finished in 4 hours, so pace wasn’t an issue on a Sunday morning. The staff was helpful and welcoming. Great real grass practice range and good putting / chipping. The greens were punched 7 days ago, but I won’t dock any points for that, it’s a necessary evil. Can’t wait to play them when they heal. There were maybe two tee boxes that were incredibly firm and or were a bit dusty, but overall we had a great day and we’ll be adding this to my regular foursome schedule.

I like this course, but was frustrated with a couple of things today. Least important of my complaints is paying full price when the greens have just been aerated and sanded, making the ball bounce and wiggle badly. What really bothered me is the experience with a course marshal. He asked us what our tee time was when we saw him somewhere in the middle of the front nine, no problem. Then, on # 10 he approached the group behind us while we were on the green putting out and they were 30 or 40 yards short of the green waiting, and told them to pick up the pace. How in the heck were they supposed to do that? He then approached us on the # 12 tee box and told us we needed to pick up the pace. We informed him that we teed off at 7:10 and were well ahead of a four hour pace. He proceeded to tell us that he had spoken to the pro shop and that we might be required to skip a hole. I informed him that he would need to have someone from the pro shop come and tell me that to my face. He then stopped us on the way to the # 16 tee box and apologized. I was happy to accept his apology, but it;s the second time I've seen the same course marshal rush a group that was not behind, and be rude doing it. Unacceptable.

Showed up, paid up, went out, no carts ready.

Got in cart, loaded it up, went to range for a few.

Starter called us to 1st T, got there, no starter at 1st T.

T off, notice there is a pin location chart in the cart, no one told us the pin placements for the day.

Average conditions due to recent aeration on greens and lots of bald spots / crab grass around fairways.

Worst thing about this place for a first time player is the cheap score cards. No course map!?! We had no idea what we were hitting into or what hazards lie ahead. Definitely have to know where to land your T shots off the T in order to give yourself a chance to hit the green with your 2nd shot. Is it hard to have a course map made? Asking for a friend.

We had a wonderful time here. Staff was super friendly and pace of play was perfect as there was hardly anyone out there. Looks like they switched the front and back nine so my gps had issues until I figured that out. Greens had recently been punched, but that has to happen some time. Definitely a play again if we are back in the area.

I play the course couple times a month with my step-son who lives in Manor. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Greens consistent and roll well. Only one negative, the sand traps, hard crusty sand. Although, I like the rates and if they spent the money required to upgrade the traps, I am sure the rates would need to be increased. Being a senior, I like they moved the white tee's up, too short for someone, just move to the Blue tees. My first review for this course, having played here for a couple years, one of the best golf values in the Austin market. Check it out.
