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 terrible condition. Seems like they have stopped spending money on weed control and fertilizer, greens need a lot of help as well. This course has a great layout and has usually been well maintained, sad to see it in this condition.

First Time Playing

Always a great challenge

Again, I drive 90 miles one way to play this course. It is one of my all time favorites. For the price, it’s a great challenge. Yes, the course was dry but this year has been dry. I have heard from many quality players about how penal the front nine is. Well, I wish both nines were designed so uniquely! I am a senior who plays from the gold tees and should play forward. But I paid for the real estate and I want this course to bring me back to reality! It was very busy today and carts were slow coming in but that’s not the staff’s fault. It’s due to slow play and unfortunately, no Marshall is available during twilight. For those who can’t stand slow play, have a few beers, chat with the young ladies who serve you, and realize you could be at work instead.

Shadow Glen

Hadn't played this course in years and then it was a fairly nice golf course. It has really gone down-hill since then. I know the course shut down for a couple of years and maybe they are slowing getting it back to it's original condition. Our round too 5 hours and we didn't see a marshal anywhere one the course. Staff was friendly.

Fun Course!

I've played this course a few times and it has never disappointed. The price is fair. The staff is great. The course was in better shape the first time I played it but it wasn't in bad shape by any means either. A little far from me but a treat to play when I have the time.

Fun course. Not for beginners

Easy to lose balls here I wouldn't recommend for beginners but a fun challenge for all else. Favorite holes is #9, always fun to rip a driver and see where it lands

Not a great value

Course isn't very well kept and just not a really good value at $55 compared to other courses in the area. It also took us 5 hours. Probably wouldn't go back.

Shadow Glen Improving all the time

Since its re opening a couple of years back the course has had its challenges. Speaking with the staff they are continuing to make course changes with tree removals, green improvements and maintenance. Greens have improved dramatically and fairways and rough are coming along. Effort need to be put into traps and trap maintenance.

Super staff, great layout and terrific value.

Challenging layout!!!

Driving range very good condition...

Fun and challenging

This course is a challenging track. It is tough if you are playing well and downright hard if you are struggling. The course is in good condition for winter. In the summer it is usually much better.

I am a fan!

Best value for a challenge around Austin. Always well maintained. A little muddy in the winter but they keep up with it great. Staff is fantastic. Pace of play is 4 hrs even on weekend. Looking forward to playing it in top condition in the spring. I love the club caddies on the cart. Just that little extra I am looking for.

The layout of this course is very good. Winter time condition on back nine some of the tees had over seeding done. Which looked nice! During growing season I am sure this course looks great. Greens were in pretty good shape for winter.
