Length 7181 yards
Slope 134
Rating 75.0

Falconhead Golf Club sits just west of Austin in the midst of the scenic Hill Country, tumbling across a rolling landscape covered with knobby cedars and towering oaks. The challenging layout was designed to PGA standards, making it one of the most popular public golf courses in the area. The greens are fast and each is protected by at least one bunker. The golf course offers an interesting variety of holes that will require the use of every club in your bag. On windy days, the lengthy par 4s are especially tricky. Golfers will be faced with a variety of challenges on this course including dramatic uphill approaches, forced carries, blind shots, and doglegs. There are also meandering creeks that crisscross the course and a number of ponds that come into play. Falconhead Golf Club's signature hole is the beautiful par-3 17th, which will require your most accurate iron.

Disappointing Customer Service Response

I sprained my knee on Sunday morning so called the pro shop to cancel my 1:39pm round as I was unable to play. The gentlemen at the pro shop referenced I was within the 24 hr cancel policy but would make a note under the circumstances and not charge me - he was very nice. Later that evening I got an e-mail from GolfNow I was being billed $240 for my round due to the late cancellation. I contacted GolfNow to relay my conversation with the pro shop and asked for waiving of the bill. GolfNow contacted Falconhead who then refused citing the cancellation policy. I'm very disappointed by this response and not planning on returning.

Pace of Play

It took 5+ hrs to finish the round with a group of experienced (low handicap) golfers. We had to wait on the group in front of us (every shot), ridiculous.

Beautiful course

Course was in great shape. Love the layout here and they have a great practice facility. Only saw the cart girl once so that was a drag since there was little to no water in the coolers on the course.

Avoid Gift Cards !!!!!

Terrible customer service. Tried to redeem a Magnolia golf gift card and was told that it had expired and nothing they could do. The buyer of the card was not told of an expiration date and the card did not say it on it. They could tell when it was issued and that it had not been used, but because it was more than a year old, essentially "too bad". Talked to the check in person, the general manager and the regional manager for Magnolia Golf Management (the Teravista/AveryRanch/Falconhead management company). Reached out to the owner of Magnolia. No one cared.

Marshals need to push the slow pacers

This is the third time in row the pace on the course was extremely slow. We did not see any marshals driving the slow groups. Twice some of our group members quit in the middle as they were delayed significantly.

Great course with nice layout

Great experience playing Falconhead for the first time today. Good conditions and nice layout. Course can be narrow at times and greens were rolling pretty quick, I found it to be a good challenge. Pace of play was excellent (played on a Monday).

Love Falconhead, need to monitor pace and groupings

The course was in excellent shape and love this course. My only complaint is we never saw the Marshall and they allowed two 5somes off in from of us and we were a twosome. First, there shouldn't be 5somes and we need pace of place to speed up with some support from a Marshall and there was none to be see the entire 18. Regardless love the course, excellent shape and we had drink cart coming around throughout which is always a bonus!....
