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.

Grange need help

there's a massive building project going on all around Falconheads perimeter. It is changing the character of the golf course. But the big problem is with the greens. They're not as good as many municipal golf courses anymore.

Course condition.

This is the second time I play this course. Was very disappointed this time over course condition. Not worth the green fees. Fist time I played this course last year it was in great shape. Treated my nephew for a round this time but not what I expected.

Terrible condition! So Disappointing.

I use to play here 10 years ago, It was one of the best kept courses in Austin/Lake Travis area. We played here because the course was always kept up, greens, tee boxes, flower gardens. etc.....

Now its looks like someone dropped a bomb, bunkers are crap, tee boxes look like a cat litter box, what a major disappointment, I'll never come back.

They shouldn't charge you play here,........

Lago Vista, Falconhead, same BS. WOW. Terrible!!!!

This is why I joined HSBay.

Awkwardness

We scheduled two tee times for 8 golfers. We arrived and were missing one guy who couldnt make it. We are tee’ing off on #1 and the starter comes up in his cart and makes a single join are party. Which is fine but he doesn’t allow him to have his own cart and forces him to join the single cart player and unfortunately the single didn’t speak english. Talk about awkwardness the entire round. Never going back.

Continual decline

Range ball machine out of balls. A painfully slow 5-hr round. So backed up that we teed off 15 min after our scheduled tee time. No marshal moving slow players. Greens covered with ball marks, as if no one fixed their marks for a couple of days. Bunkers continue to have no sand and remain unplayable. Limbs from tree trimming remain in place in the rough areas - they were cut 2-3 months ago. In less one year, this venue has continually declined . The big question is why?! Late last year I was contemplating becoming a member - that would have been a big mistake.

Green fairways

Fairways in great shape after last week's rain, greens firming up. Traps need a little work but better then most.
