Falconhead Golf Club
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.

King of the 5 hour round!
Only reason i played this course again was due to a cheap hot deal but never again no matter how cheap. Pace is horrible here, no fun hitting a golf shot every 15 minutes and marshals don't do nothing about the pace. The course gets your money, doesn't care about managing pace and wants you to have an awful time.
Hi. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Falconhead Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!

Pace of play sucks as always, overrated course
Pace of play here is always horrible. I decided to give it another chance due to cold weather and parking lot was not that full but nope, pace was still bad and finished in 5 hours. No Marshall on the course to do anything about pace either.
Someone in a review also said they over seeded the course but that's a lie, they didn't put any winter rye down. Course in ok shape but its way overpriced. Only reason i played here is because of super cheap hotdeal. Crazy to think people pay 80 bucks to play this course and suffer with the pace of play.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Poor course condition and very slow play
Course condition was poor.
The pace of play is the worst.
Marshals are rude and not good at helping speed up pace of play
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Falconhead Golf Club!
Fun and approachable Hill Country golf
Visited over Christmas break and had ideal conditions. A couple holes appeared to be roughed up from weather damage (bare spots on fairway and green) but overall the course was in great shape for the winter. Layout was pretty straightforward with minimal hazards to contend with. Would definitely play it again on my next visit to Austin.

Nice course but...
Felt like I was playing a very hilly hybrid links course.
I couldn't adjust to the speed of the greens because some felt faster than others. I left a handful of birdie putts short all day.
The party 4s are long, curvy, hilly and challenging. It was super windy the day I played so it made it even tougher to hit the fairway.
I might play again but to me this course doesn't really interest me in playing here often.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Falconhead Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Management Problems
Played Falconhead. Originally I booked a tee time on golf now, then I wanted to add a 3rd to our tee time and spoke to one of their representatives and they moved my tee time one tee time back. I cancelled the original tee time. We get to the club house and they said the rep didn’t cancel the first one, and that we owed them for 5 tee times. 2 on the original booking on golf now, 3 for when I called on the phone. Then on the practice range, the starter asked us to move up one tee slot and we said fine. They won’t reimburse us for it, since it’s policy…. I will never play there again. The black lead instructor was a complete Jerk. He couldn’t even look at me in the eyes.
Aside from that, the round took us 5 hours and 15 minutes. There hasn’t been a gold tee in 8 months. I have played this course probably 15 times in my life. I will never ever ever play there again. We had a member golfing with us who’s said the management has sucked for a long time and told me to write a review

Getting Run Down
Fairways and greens OK. Sandtraps look like they have never been raked. Not by the course or bu players. Bathrooms not serviced and in disrepair. A water leak in one making the floor wet. A screen kicked in in another. The paper towels missing in the bathroom by the club house. None of the bathrooms clean.
This used to be a favorite course to me. It now resembles a low class municipal course. Certainly not worth the current rates charged, even when there is a discount offered.

Nice condition for “winter” golf
Really enjoyed the layout. Well-placed trees forced me to make a few more low punch shots than I wanted. Greens and bunkers were in good shape. Cordial staff. I would love to play it again.

Over seeded (good and bad)
The fairways are over seeded for winter (good). The tee boxes are over seeded for winter (good). The greens are over seeded for winter (rye=bad). The greens are so slow with the rye that they are almost unplayable. The staff are grumpy. There was a marshal on duty that I hadn't seen before and he was friendly and helpful which surprised me because I am used to crotchety old farts running things.

Good could have been better
The course around the greens was over watered and muddy as could be. So many of my chips where in muddy lies. Sad but true. Everything was spot on as usual .
