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.

One of my Faves

Fun at Falcon-head
Had a great time playing at Falconhead…. Challenging course in very good condition …very friendly staff as well
Beautiful Course...but a 5-some?
First time playing Falconhead and the course is awesome! Unfortunately, we were stuck behind a 5-some that was two holes behind after 9 holes. We didn't see a marshal until about the 14th hole so the damage was done and the round took over 5 hours from an 8:30 tee time. Other than pace of play, the course was in great shape and was a great layout with lots of elevation changes and prefect greens.
Thank you for your review, apeezy23. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Falconhead Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

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.
