Course is in excellent shape

Regardless of the fact that it's been over 100F for the last month or two, the course was in great shape. No diseased or brown spots on the greens, fairways were green, and the tee boxes were flat and had plenty of space to avoid hitting out of a divot. Great job to the staff especially the Marshal, he was super friendly and was willing to chase down anyone that was slowing the pace of play.

Will be coming back

Beautiful course. Played in the morning and finished in just over 3 hours. Fun layout, every hole was great but there were some that were really breathtaking. Great condition, greens were in pretty good shape, green, some still slightly bumpy from the aerating but not bad. Overall loved it and will be coming back.

All good but the greens need help

Great layout. Course condition was 75% great. The greens are struggling with the heat. About 10-15% of each green has some sort of burnout and/or sod replaced. They're obviously trying to address the issue, but it IS an issue. Other than that, would recommend highly!

We appreciate your review. Some of our greens were damaged in the winter freezes. The sod farms got hit hard as well and we were finally able to finish the repairs. The greens are recovering very quickly and we plan to be 100% in the next week or two.

Challenging Layout, Great Condition

Shadowglen is in great shape right now. The layout is always a fun test, especially when the wind is blowing. Tee boxes and fairways are in fantastic shape. Greens are rolling very nicely for this time of year in Austin, and they all are in great shape outside of a few rough spots on the fourth green (but they typically have the pin located in a way such that the rough spots don’t impact putts). The course offers tee box options for any level of golfer, and a great mix of challenging and gettable holes. Be weary of the seemingly-inviting par 5 12th. Definitely give Shadowglen a whirl if you’re looking for somewhere to play in the Austin area.

We appreciate your review and look forward to having you back! We were able to finish sodding the remaining damaged spots of 4 and hope to have it completely healed in the next couple of weeks.

Course is in good shape other than a few of greens. They have been aerated, but there are a few that are so badly damaged that it may take a complete rework to make them playable.

Sweet layout/Rough greens

Greens were super beat but it’s up there for best layouts in Austin. Hopefully conditions improve because it has a ton of potential

Pricey course!

Overall a good course. Some of the greens needed work. Not a good value for the money spent. I can spend about the same amount at much nicer course.

Wish there was a 150 marker

All of the markers on the sprinkler heads were gone and there was not a 150 marker or 100 marker? Better bring your distance finder.
