7174 yards, water on 10 holes, 55 traps, and a slope of 139, this is one tough golf course. ShadowGlen is a hidden gem just north east of Austin in Manor. The course opened in 2004 and was designed by Roy Bechtol and Randy Russell, and is located on rolling hills, tree lined borders. The greens are TifEagle, and can be fast and undulating. while the fairways are of TifSport Bermuda. The course is mostly open, links style with plenty of water and moderate bunker placement, mounding, and waste areas. The course is a great alternative to the higher priced Austin area courses.

All military personnel and veterans are invited to participate in a Four Person Scramble at 8AM, November 11th Bring a foursome or sign up individually You must be Military Personnel or a Veteran to Play. Entry Fee is Complimentary. That’s right, Complimentary for Active Military Personnel or Retired Veterans. ShadowGlen Golf Club truly appreciates the sacrifices that the Men and Women of our armed forces makes. Field is limited to the first 120 players. A free day of golf to area military personnel and Veterans? That’s a helluva gesture. And I’ll remember it the next time I’m making a tee time in the Austin area.
