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.

Horrible green conditions and fairway conditions. Was like playing on a goat track. Staff was extremely friendly so that might things a little better,

In horrible condition.

This course was in rough shape. I was trying to take advantage of the course being close to my house but it was very disappointing. Everything from the condition of the golf carts to the lack of grass in the fairways and weed-stricken tees and greens... outright horrible. Please save your money and do NOT play here.

Not good

Maybe the worst shape I’ve seen this course in and that says a lot. Greens were horrendous.

The only reason to ever play here is if it’s close to you and it’s very last minute (and super desperate to get out)…as you will get tee times.
