Detailed description

Shadowglen Golf Course is a Semi-private 18 hole golf course located just 15 minutes from downtown Austin in Manor, Texas.

Shadowglen Golf Course opened in 2003. The course was designed by Roy Bechtol and Randy Russell.

The terrain is picturesque rolling hills and the course is a links style course as it meanders through the countryside. The terrain is picturesque rolling hills and the course is a links style course as it meanders through the countryside.

Shadowglen is a par 72 course with 4 sets of tee boxes. The course plays to 7,124 yards from the back tees. The other boxes are set at 6,629 yards, 6,047 yards, and 4898 yards.

The 561 yard par 5 hole #7 is the #1 handicap hole on the course.

Shadowglen was awarded 2004 Best New Public Course by Golf Digest and is known as Home of "The Amateur".

After a 10-year struggle by the course's owner to get water promised to him by several entities, ShadowGlen closed in August, 2011. Thirty-seven people lost their jobs.

The lack of effluent - treated wastewater often used to water golf courses - has doomed the 285-acre course, said owner Frank Hutchinson, who is suing the city and the Manor-based developer of the adjacent ShadowGlen housing subdivision. Hutchinson is seeking unspecified damages - which he says are in the millions - to make repairs and recoup lost revenue.

Hold the presses...Shadow Green has reopened again as of Spring 2012 and is back to offering challenging golf.
