About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 7181 yards
Slope 137
Rating 75.7

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.

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.

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 Massively out of date.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!

What happened to Falconhead

Overpriced at $83 before tax, $27 for a large bucket of balls, bottled water expensive, no towels, no water in ball washers, greens in poor shape, many barren spots on course especially around cart paths and tee boxes. Need I saw more…

Goat trap golf

This course has issues. The course has people working all over it. You'd approach a hole and guys are mowing thr fairway. They don't move. You'll play second shot with them mowing. The greens were punched and sanded on last five holes. No one says a thing. Couldnt putt or play the greens. Pick your ball up and move on. It was $100 for a round. Way way over priced. Rental clubs are $100 bucks. And they're trash clubs. The putter was bent. The drivers were beat to heck. Go to star ranch. Only $82. This is a buyer beware issue. The best part was on hole 17 when the Marshall drove in front of us on fairway. Went up to the green and was looking for golf balls in surrounding area. Then said. I misunderstood the situation when confronted. Just stay away until new owners take over or buy a lot when it's closes

Just too expensive

Falconhead is just fine, it’s just always priced about 40% more than it should be. There are no other public courses within about 30 minutes, so they know they can charge what they want to.

Honestly, save your money and drive to Clay/Kizer
