Falconhead Golf Club
About
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.

Beautiful course
It’s only a few days into spring and course was perfect and green. Greens were a little slow but pure and not much play on them. Fairways were perfect. Just moved here I’d consider trying their membership.
Never Again
After a nearly 6 hour round, Falconhead is on the pay no mind list. It wasn’t just one problematic group, the whole course was at a standstill all day. Charging north of $150 for a weekend round with no marshall or on course supervision is inexcusable. The course was also in noticeably worse condition than previous times I’ve played it - very dry for this early in the season. Range balls aren’t included, however the bucket that I bought got stuck in the automated range feeder after I hit about six of them. Course layout has a lot of potential, but honestly there are many courses that are better value with reasonable pace of play in the area.
Fun course
Played with a member for the first nine, which was nice since there are quite a few blind fairway shots. The course was in good shape and the staff was very nice.
Better then stars
This was a great course. Came to Austin from Madison wisconsin to play golf and am glad I chose this place for 1 of the days
Life is good
had a great round playing with my 38 yr old son. Course pace was excellent and each hole brought unique challenges.
18 holes at falconhead golf
Great golf course in excellent shape. Very friendly and cardio staff. Beverage availability, and snacks on the course are excellent. Would recommend some number of range balls be included with the Golf play.
Falconhead Golf-Austin
Great staff and course. Met my adult son here for a round. We both like this course!
Only suggestion is that for the price a medium or large range ball bucket should be included. Also Credit card option technology should be an option at the ball dispensery since it is quiet a walk to the pro shop .
Nice course - but Pace of Play issues
Nice, well maintained course but pace of play issues. Course just hard enough to slow play down. Little or no supervision on the course.
Not very welcoming, course fine, play very slow
Need i say more? Starters were not friendly at all, driving range not open until 10 just on Wed am's- feels luke a municipal course - and not cheap .
Beautiful course
I definitely was challenged and enjoyed the clever design. First time playing it with my son. Had a blast.
Greens are punched and sanded
They need to to inform people when this is happening. It was auto 2 Putt today. No chance of getting the ball in the hole. This is one of my favorite courses in Austin. But when the greens are punched. Seems like the grounds crew did a lazy job with it.
Goat trap
This place is not the place you want to go. Course is in bad shape. Massively out of date. Pro shop/bar area looks a cafeteria style from 1985. The course had maintenance going on all over. Not upgrading type of maintenance. Keep the lights on maintenance. We arrived at hole 12. They were literally mowing the fairway at 11am. And he didn't stop. The last five holes were punched and sanded. No one said a thing. We had to skip them. The sand and clumps of grass made it impossible to putt. No money off - nothing said. We arrived at hole 17. Marshall comes up to us and tells us we're two minutes, slow. We've been pacing two groups in front of us. They were slow. Some inexperienced golfers amongst them. No biggie. We tee'd off. We get to fairway and go to hit second shot and look up and the Marshall is walking across Green to scrounge balls in the bushes. This after being a accosted for slow play. The course was $100 to play. Not worth more than $36. Just let the goats and cows at it. Course is not well maintained. Go play "the star" In Hutto. It's in amazing shape!
