Very nice course

Very nice and challenging course. Greens and fairways in good condition. Driving range and putting green both shut down for maintenance with no warning for non-members. I would suggest not shutting down all the practice and warm up facilities at the same time!

Probably not a good time to play there

Course has many issues. Huge turf issues, many greens had damage and not very consistent. Range closed till 10:30 on Tuesdays. Yes their were many trees damaged from storm but understand that happens. They we’re putting a lot of effort to get them cleaned out. Course was not liked I remember from last time I played looked very unattended and tired on front side. For the most part their are too many other choices to play so sadly I will pass on playing there until they turn it around. Nice staff although. Lastly the carts are very tiered and old

Good layout, bad shape

Course layout and views are phenomenal. It’s a shame to see it in this kind of shape. Impossible to find grass on at least 50% of tee boxes. There was a freeze over a month ago that they blame for large branches and limbs down all over the course. Come on, get it cleaned up within 30-45 days at least if you’re going to charge $125/round.

Fairways are burnt out (forgivable with the lack of rain), and most greens rolled ok but were riddled with Poa annua. Pace of play sign on the cart read 4 hours total but it took us 4:45 and we were waiting on just about every tee box. Not even close to worth what they’re charging. Unsure if it’s new ownership or what, but the place has a ton of potential and it’s sad to see it like this. PLEASE put some of the money you’re raking in back into the course. At least clear the freeze damage one of these days and figure something out with the unplayable tee boxes.

Missing golfer

So it happens that one of our foursome was unable to make it because of family issues. So we had 3 out of 4. And yet I’m getting charged for that one spot that wasn’t filled. There is no way they could’ve filled it at the time of finding out. I believe it is super asinine that I’m being charged for that. Golf Now and Falconhead will never be recommended by me. It’s just plain ridiculous

Not Worth What They Charge

I paid around $120 to play this course based on the pictures. Granted, it was early season conditions, but a recent windstorm had laid waste to the trees on the course and they had hardly cleaned any of it up. A total mess, and affected play. Also, they had a few groups playing some mini tournament together, and long story short, the round took over 5 hours. Very frustrating to spend this kind of money to receive a subpar experience. Not a place I'll be returning to...

Beware Pace of Play

1:12 tee time. Didn't tee off until around 1:30. Finished at 6:30. Yes it was a Saturday afternoon but still miserable pace of play.

Pace of play is a joke

1.46 tee time and didn’t tee off until just after 2pm. 5:07 round of golf. Course Marshall’s no where to be found.

Don’t put a pace of play timesheet in the cart if you aren’t going to have a Marshall out managing pace of play and actually expect people to follow it. Waiting on every single tee/approach.

As a last issue - the starter was incredibly useless and not very friendly.

We’ll be back

The course had a lot of freeze damage they were piling up so stay straight! Back nine was cart path only which made it a hike. I felt they should have knocked some off for that

Late February Round - Course in Poor Shape

Played in late February so take this with a grain of salt but the course was in very rough shape. Fairways and greens in particular. Given the price I expected a better track.

First time at Falconhead, will be back

Greens were freshly cut and rolled true. Considering the recent ice storm damage, the course was in great shape. Check-in process was first rate, staff was friendly. The only drawback was a large bachelor party group in front of us that slowed pace down slightly. However pace was not overly slow nor did we run into any problems with them or any other groups on the course. Will definitely be back in the spring!

Poor greens

By far the worst greens I have ever putted on. I put this on golf now as much as the course, they were charging full rate of $80 something and had no warning. There should be some kind of note before booking when this is the case.

The front nine greens were in really poor condition for the price of the round. Expected better given the green fees. The pace of play was good — especially appreciated for a Saturday morning.

Think they could do with a better bathroom set up but other than that was a good day on the course.

Surprised they use gas powered golf carts. Think might be better to have electric.

Great escape from the winter up north, but the course was in rough shape. Greens were super long. All, understandable for the time of year (January), but other courses around town were in better shape. Good value though.

Terrible course and service

Slow play at the course, only got through 12 holes in 4 hours. Double charged me because one person canceled. Honestly terrible customer service. I will not be back. Greens were terrible as well. Tee boxes all destroyed.
