Run away.

Course is in terrible shape. Greens. Awful. Fairways awful. Bunkers. Nope. Tee boxes. Nope. Unless you can play this course for 10 dollars or less it is not worth it. Pro shop is the perfect indication of the rest of the course. Carpet old dirty and ‘em needs to be replaced. No water on the course. Bathroom floors haven’t been mopped in god knows how long. No pride taken in anything about this place. Has the feel of a place that is about to close down.

As bad as it gets

Course is terrible. Literal rock patches in the fairways. Might as well be hitting off of the moon. Bunkers are just grass spots now. Greens might as well be the bunker. No real maintenance is done on this course other than mowing. Really hoping they at least do a little updating before it just gets shut down completely.

Greens need a lot of work.

Nice course layout, but the conditions of a lot of the greens were horrible. The course layout is great but they need to do a better job at maintaining the course.

Do Not Play

The course is in terrible condition. Fairway are covered in weeds, dirt, literally unkept.

Greens are horrible. Covered in sand, big patches of grass missing.

Carts are falling apart.

This course isn’t even worth $10 per round.

Blackhawk Down

Two stars is the highest I can rate this course. Greens were horrible, grass, weeds and sand. Farways look good but hard as a rock, good luck getting under the ball on a down hill lie. Incredibly overpriced for the conditions of the course. If they would put 10% effort in care of the course would greatly improve its conditions.

Going Down Hill

I played this course 2 years ago for a charity event and it was alright then. Little to no maintenance has been done since that time to try to maintain or better this course. The layout is good and could be worth playing if there was any effort to keep it up. The clubhouse is a ghost town, the carts feel like they could breakdown at any point. You have to wait on the first tee until they bring you a cart. There is not cart person on the course. The range balls might be the original balls the course opened up with. Set your expectations low, very low and you will be ok.

Good course for the money

The course is solid for the most part. For 25 bucks you can’t really beat it around atx. The one thing that this course is in desperate need of is some work on the greens along with filling the bunkers with sand. Once that happens this has the potential to be an awesome course!

Ouch

Didn’t want to play here as I’d seen the reviews. A buddy booked here so went along for the ride. Felt taken at nearly $60. Reviews are true . Just don’t change over $20 and it’s a fair deal given the shape that’s it’s in. I’d have to say the roughest track in town. Not one to leave a negative review but @ $60 I’m going to voice my opinion

Two options for Blackhawks

Lower the green fee or improve course management.
As a foreigner visiting Texas, Black Hawks left me bad taste!!!

Poor condition

As the title states, the course conditions were not good. Huge mud patches in the middle of many fairways made it better to be in the rough. More weeds than grass on the greens (when it wasn’t just sand). The course layout is fun with many hidden water features, but the conditions need much improvement. Also no marshal was out from 8-2pm on this day, allowing groups to be extremely slow. Shouldn’t have taken 5.5 hours to play.

Overpriced.

They charge $50 per person for a course that is very poorly maintained. The greens are like sandy concrete which is ironic because the bunkers are devoid of sand. This course could be great but it’s been long neglected by the owner.
