What a goat track!

Staff is rude. No kitchen staff. Horrible course. Worst greens I've ever seen. $60 a round.

Let's see how long the course survives

Blackhawk has gotten worse and worse over the years. They don't even have drinking water on the course anymore. I'd be shocked if this course is around much longer.

Not worth going

This was a poorly maintained course with bad management and customer service. They messed up my reservation (even though I had a written confirmation) with no apology and acted like I was in the wrong. The pace of play was terribly mismanaged (we were waiting 15 minutes on every hole) and the staff weren’t helpful or even particularly polite. despite having paid for 18 holes we quit after 9 because conditions were so unpleasant.

Decent course

Have played this course handful of times. For the price it’s an okay play course is definitely under construction. Greens are needing attention like the rest of the course. Would be nice to have more port-a potty’s or an actual restroom throughout the course. Ball wash stations were empty and towels were gone.

Blackhawk Not what it used to Be

Played the course on December 30, 2022 and it was in very poor condition. Greens and fairways were both in bad shape. clubhouse needs a major update and no beverage cart was seen on the course.

Blackhawk Needs Work

Clubhouse and course in pretty bad shape. Greens are very rough and fairways not much better. Ownership needs to put some money into improvements.

Just Awful

I hate to give negative reviews but this course was in unplayable shape. No grass, just dirt and weeds. I guess I expected something else…. It was a total wasteland and a total waste of time. The staff was terrific and pace of play was good but the course wasn’t worth playing… i will try again in the spring but I will check to see if they have any grass before booking a tee time.

Is this really golf...?

The course has so much potential but is completely neglected.
I don't understand why the owners don't bring it up to standard, or sell it to Pflugerville and let it be a municipal course.
The bunkers are just grass now, which is okay, everything else is just awful - the fairways are hard-pan with some random grass here and there, and the greens are not greens in the golf sense of the word...they're just patches of grass, sand, and dirt.
No marshalls, no beverage cart, the driving range closed, snack bar closed.
Sad.

Better than the last I played.

All I can say is it was in better condition than the last time I played, it was so bad last time, I'm guessing it wasn't hard to do better. They still don't manage the groups off the 1st tee. It's pretty much a free for all. The group I played in with caught up with a group of 6(yes 6).
Thats all I could handle and quit and went home. I should've know better.

Terrible course

I feel like I have been robbed everytime I play this god awful course. Conditions are trash, greens are horrific and completely inconsistent, and it’s laughable that they actually charge $50 to play this course. This is hands down the lowest quality golf course in the entire greater Austin Metro. Just go to the range instead of playing this course. Fairways…. Trash. Rough… trash. Greens… trash. Not a single bunker on the course now because they filled them so you just get ridiculous conditions off the green.

Don’t call it a dog-track….it’s WORSE

Wow, I was shocked at the truly horrible conditions of this golf course…I’d call it a “dog track” but it would be insulting to both dogs & tracks. This place is much much worse. Fairways are weeds or just dirt, with deep cracks and ruts everywhere. The only grass on greens is crabgrass. And the only sand on the course isn’t in the bunkers, it’s covering the greens that are burned out. This was my first (and last) time to play Blackhawk….it’s amazing that they can charge $40 for this really awful course Sorry guys, but do better!
