Course Highlights
Falconhead's clever, challenging layout consistently earns high marks from golfers who appreciate its thoughtful design. Fairways, greens, and top-notch practice facilities keep course conditions among the strongest in the Austin area.

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.

Needs maintenance badly

There are a lot of bare spots on the fairways and greens need maintenance. Especially with the number of plays per day,they need to keep the course in better shape.

Matthew Rodriguez (employee) is Violent!

I had came across an employee stealing from the workplace among countless of other illegal activity . Come to find out this same employee has also been having sex at work. His accomplices Alex Hopper and Von Small who coaches children has said pedophilic things regarding the children in addition to smoking/snorting meth and smoking weed with Matthew Rodriguez on working hours, stealing from work such as range balls and lost and found items to include watches, rangefinders, clothes, money and such. When I confronted Matthew Rodriguez about his actions he became physically violent grabbing me, pushing me and threatening my life. They even be selling drugs at work. I would recommend you drug test these employees and the whole staff.

One of the better courses in the area

Of the 3 courses this company runs, this one is my favorite. Layout is fair, homes are set a little bit farther away, greens are in decent shape.

Wind is a huge factor on this course. Pace of play is decent, but can get slow when the wind blows. Greens were in good shape. Hopefully the fairways should start to get green with the impending spring. Overall, a decent round of golf.

Good Course but Pace was Too Slow

The course was in decent shape for February- some bare spots off of the fairway, but that's to be expected. Tee boxes and bunkers were in great shape. Greens were in really good condition, but tough to figure out- they were super firm and fast on the front, but much slower on the back. The staff was awesome. The short game practice area was really nice, but the range was irons only and we were just hitting off of dirt- no grass.

Pace of play was an issue- it took us just over 5 hours to play 18. It was a really nice day though, and the course was packed, but I still wasn't expecting a 5 hour round on a Tuesday afternoon.

This was my first time playing this course, so I did some homework and looked at their website for a scorecard and yardages, which had 5 tee boxes listed. When we got there, there were yardages for all 5 on the hole markers at the start of each hole, but the Gold tee box that was listed was nowhere to be found. We played from blue, which seemed to play a little longer than the yardages that we were given on the scorecard and at the start of the hole. It was a little confusing.

Good Layout, Nice Greens

Layout is good. Not many tee options between black and blue! One is too long and the other is shortish. Greens rolled nice and a fair test of golf. Carts were in excellent condition and the pace of play was average. No marshals to be seen anywhere.

Great Layout, mediocre management

Falconhead is a great layout, and I'll continue to play it. They run the course on what seem to be 5 minute tee time intervals, and the average round is well north of 5+ hours and not a ranger in sight. Course tends to be in acceptable shape, but could be amazing with the layout.

Good coarse pin placement is a bit ridiculous

Hole 3 pin placement was one you had to pick up on. Ball would stay on green

Tee Time through Golf Now

Hot Deal through Golf Now was 39.99. Total fee after

tax etc. $48 00 Staff was very accommodating and the facility is golfer friendly. Course was brown dormant bermuda, which is to be expected in January. greens in good shape and shape, ball rolled true and fast enough.

Nice course but too expensive for me without Golf Now.
