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.

17th green Photo submitted by null on 01/28/2013
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 .

Good overall but the marshall
Got the very first tee time of the day. 2 guys 2 girls, guys walking. After the first 9th, a guy from a group of 3 behind us asked to pass us by himself so we let him. After a while Marshall approaches us saying that there shouldn't be a 4 hole gap in between players and asked us to pick up the pace. Where is the common sense here? There is NO WAY we can catch up to a single with 4 people, let alone the guy seemed pretty good as well. I know folks at falconhead emphasize pace of play a lot but that is nonsense.

Awful carts, good course
Fun and challenging layout, typically in good to great condition. Early morning rounds are slower than I’d expect. Seems like a few older guys have recurring tee times and they play brutally slow, but they are nice and let me play through. Love the course but the worst part is the aging golf carts. I’ve had them die in the middle of the ninth fairway on me, ruining the round, and others have seemed to sputter the entire round. Management needs to fix or replace these with electric asap. Can’t be charging their rates with this basic amenity issue.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Falconhead Golf Club thanks you!

Like a friend you haven’t seen for a while
Course is in good condition and the layout is great. Staff was very friendly and pace of play was exactly 4 hrs. If you haven’t been you should go play it. If it’s been a while; go play it. Lots of elevation change, greens rolled fantastic and about a 10. Challenging par 4’s and getable Par 5’s and 3’s id your irons are on. Enjoy some great holes

Little wind adds to good challenge, interesting angles on this up and down course. Greens in very good shape.

Need more carts
Had to wait 40 minutes for cart, could not hit many range balls, tee off 20 minutes later than scheduled time, therefore only could play 15 holes b4 dark.

Hire and use some marshals
After a 3 HOUR front nine i left. Never saw a Marshall. Had some 3rd rate tournament that day that completely clogged the course, but that didn't stop them from booking tee times right after. Horrible experience!
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.
Rental Clubs More Expensive Than Round
$75 for rental clubs is absurd. The rental set was more than the round of golf! Clubs were very nice, but only 12 of them and missing wedges. Staff was friendly and course was nice, but the cost of a rental set is outrageous.
