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.

Friday golf
We got there with very few time to warmup.
Got paired up with 2 very nice guys who had already played the course and gave is few advice.
Tee box and fairways, pretty good conditions
Greens a little dry and bouncey, but for summer they were very well taken care of.
In general, very nice course and not too hard.
Pace of play
Started 10 min late and round still took 5 hr 10 min. Great condition tho. If you can get out there early before they manage to blow the pace up it’s awesome.

Good course. Seemed to play longer than stated yardages ( blue tees) . Greens in good shape, as were fairways ( especially for a hot dry summer)

Terrible Day - 5+ hour round
Five hours and twenty minutes in 105 degrees with Rangers that tell you there is nothing they can do. WHAT? That is exactly you job, to make sure a 10:30 tee time does not have a 10 min wait on every hole.
Tee boxes were terrible, hard to find grass on many. Greens were good shape, fairways for the most part were good, but did have quite a few barren areas.
For $100 per round you would think they would take better care of the course and have Rangers that actually know the job description
Thank you for taking the time to review and leave your feedback of your recent round with us. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience you experienced at the course with us. Your feedback is extremely important to us. It is always our utmost goal to provide our golfers with a fun and enjoyable time and apologize if we missed the mark. For further resolution in this matter, please feel free to reach out to our staff in the pro shop. We hope to hear from you soon!
@Falconhead Golf Club - My suggestions are to pay closer attention to where the tee markers are placed on the tees. Looked like they were hardly ever moved and if they were moved, only moved a few feet. Meant there were quite a few tee boxes that were torn up where the markers were, but the rest of the tee looked good. Also, pace of play was really slow. Would suggest marshalls do a better job of keeping groups within a hole of the group ahead. Those two things would have given it a 5 star review.
