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.

Golfer Reviews
Fun but long day
Pace of play was slow, Marshall helped some with moving folks ahead that were causing backup. Greens were a bit rough…not in the best shape. Course was nice enough.
Too crowded
Our tee time was 1:45 but course was backed up so could not tee off until ~2:20. Only got 13 holes in .
Great time playing Falconhead
Course in great shape … played 18 holes in under 3.5 hrs. (With an 8 am tee time) …. Had a great time … can’t wait to ply again !

Course is in great shape
Greens could be faster
Pace of play was terrible. 5 1/2 hours
Too slow and no action
I normally love this course, but this time was a disaster. We had a tee time of 1:09 and a pace card in the cart . At 1:09 I was waiting at the first tee whilst the group before me teed off. By half way we were 40 minutes behind schedule. Despite the Marshall passing us twice there was no action or explanation. We had to leave before completing our round. I was disgusted to see a two ball yet to tee off at another hole when the group in front of them was on the green…
My tip…. Don’t play on a Friday at this course
Slow play paradise
I last played here a couple years ago and was painfully slow round (5.5 hours). Gave it another try and was that a mistake. 3 groups on first tee, started 15 minutes late and 3 hour front nine. Teed off with about 5 hours of daylight and quit after 12 holes as there was no chance to finish all 18. I won’t make the mistake of playing at the slowest course in Austin again (Avery Ranch in the running as well).
Up and down
I live in flat florida and love to come to a place like Texas to play courses with many different elevations.
Golf good but slow and little amenities
Course is good. Some of the better greens in the area. Sand isn't great but better than most.
Range and practice facilities are terrific. Highly recommend.
Pace of play is always slow, expect a 5 hour round. Backs up on #2 and you'll be waiting every hole after.
Little food options and seems understaffed. it's a 50/50 shot you're able to get a hot dog or a drink at the turn. Food options and service is a huge opportunity for improvement.

I didn't give the Off Course amenities a good review because I had to leave right away. I prefer hitting range balls from grass. Greens were greatly improved from last time i played!

Great course!
Other than being charged for my wife to ride with me on the cart, which is ridiculous! The course was very challenging by great. We really enjoyed it. We’ll definitely be back whenever visiting the Austin area again.
