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.

Monday...beautiful weather...slow
I guess most private courses are closed on Monday. With gorgeous weather everybody went to Falconhead. 5 hours and I quit after 15.
Greens and course in great shape. There were a few wet areas that seemed to be over watered and mushy otherwise the course had excellent playing conditions.

Nice venue
Enjoyed the course and staff very friendly. Range was not up to par. Unable to hit driver at range and hitting area beat up.
Great price with Golfnow, good value

Prepaid round for two but unable to play
Arrived an hour before tee time. Proshop didn't have any cart and was informed they had a shootgun start and tee times were delayed by an hour. Ended up chipping and putting in the driving range area as we wait. We decided to check back with the starter after an hour to our surprise was informed we missed our tee time. Proceeded to the proshopband different individual can't explain what happened and offered us a 230pm start which is 2 hours after our original tee time.
Gave me an email for to get refund or voucher for future round and I have not receive any reply after 4 days.
I have played here several times, although this is first issue I had with them, I have observed they could use better customer service to their patrons.
Falconhead GC
Overall nice course. Greens were in great shape. Price is a little higher then it’s sister courses; Avery Ranch & Teravista, but fairly comparable. Pace of play was good, (4hrs) but it was a Tuesday. I’ve played on the weekends when pace of play can approach 5 hours. Would definitely recommend this course to others. In fact took a couple friends to play it, that were down from Seattle. They loved it.

Great course, excellent scenery
Great course with challenging holes. Fast true greens. My only knock is the range. Much to be desired hitting off the artificial turf tee boxes. For the caliber of this course, range should be improved. Excellent chip and putt areas. Not a cheap place to play but definitely worth the money.
Thank you for your review, definabl. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Falconhead Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Pace of play horrible!
Pace of play was horrible, will never go to this course again. First of all, tee time started 15 minutes late and the round was 5 hours, no marshals on the course to do anything about the pace. Called the pro shop and they gave the same lame excuse i hate to hear about we are busy today but its not like they are fitting in players in between their normal tee time slots.
Also the course was not in that great shape, tee boxes were bad and fairways not that good. Plenty of courses in the Round Rock area which are cheaper and in better shape to play.
Great course. Well kept
This is a fun course to play. They are doing a great job keeping it in good shape.
Falconhead First
The course is in great condition and slightly challenging. Really like the 8th hole. I will be back!
disappointing
the pace was so slow!! the three groups in front of us were slow!! frustrating me off that marshal isn't doing anything about it.
