ShadowGlen Golf Club

I haven't played Shadowglen in a couple years so headed out there with 3 of my buds on a hot Texas day. Course is in great shape with my only complaint being greens are slightly slowly than I'm used to. Staff are great here. 1 of our carts had a throttle problem on the 5th hole and the Marshall just gave us his and took the problem child away. Cost has gone up a bit in the last few years, but so has every other public course in the Austin area. Love the layout of the course! Requires accurate tee shots and a solid wedge game. Will play again in the near future!

Consider this my home course. Greens and tees are in pretty good shape. Friendliest staff and cart girls. Mondays are thin due to few golfers, so staffing and marshaling is limited. Not really needed if you get off mid-day. Recommended.

Pace of play was slowed down by a fivesome. Other than that, this was a challenging course with some good conditions.

This is the first time I have ever been here. You get free range ball with your purchase. Didn’t have time hit the range but from I could see it looked decent. The putting green is right next to the first tee box which is convenient. I found the practice green to match up well with the course green speeds. The fairways were in great shape as were the greens. No issues at all there. The pace of play was good. We were a 4some and we finished in just over 4 hours on a Sunday afternoon. The cart girl showed up on a regular basis which was nice. Water in the coolers was cold. There are a few holes with a weird layout like the design team couldn’t figure out what to do with the terrain. I found the course to be fun and challenging. I would definitely recommend it and would play here again.

The course and pace of play was very good.

not the courses fault, but it was a little wet and the greens were recently painted. The ball, clubs, towels, hands and shoes got the green paint everywhere.

Tee off was at 1:06 made the turn at 3:45 then it got worse so at 4:40 when I got to the 13th hole and there was 2 groups waiting I quite

Nice course and great holes. Pace was very very slow and hot dogs were terrible

Well maintained and good beer deals. Everyone was nice and respectful as well. Lots of long par 4s and a couple of tricky holes. Only complaint is lack of ball cleaners.

Good overall layout but conditions were something I would expect in January in a northern golf course. Spotty grass around a lot of the fringes, tee boxes grass was like two inches high. Greens had moderate grass quality, and were bumpy. Overall a do not play again rating.

Similar to the rest of the reviews, this course is a bit overpriced for what you are getting. It really has the potential to be a great course, but can understand how hard it is to maintain in Texas heat/water limitation, staffing, etc.

Pros:

- Driving Range

- small chipping area

- putting green

- “Drive thru” half-way “house” on 9th hole; can order food ahead

- Staff was super friendly (not sure why reviews say they weren’t, maybe I caught them on a good day)

- Layout is great, good challenging, course.

- Firm, medium fast greens

- Square tee boxes

- Carts are decently fast

Cons:

- Most fairways and greens need trimming down

- Some bunkers need a little touch up

- Random weeds

- Pace of play was too bad, some players just play from incorrect tee boxes/don’t repair course as they play

Overall:

- worth playing at least 1x, just needs a little bit of TLC

Course is difficult but a fun course to play. Watch for snakes in the water.

Man I'm still mind blown that this place managed to get 4 stars. They barely deserve 3 stars in my honest opinion. They over book and over priced with half has greens most of the time.. For instance take any day and I'll put up forest creek. Hers exactly why, 15 to 20 buck cheaper and fc gives you a small bucket of range balls & a voucher for a fountain drink/beer and hot dog / sausage wrap. That's who should be charging more but they don't and they still kill it compared to shdowglen over here. Man do better!
