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.

One of the better courses in Austin
The only fault I find is the poor quality of sand in the traps. Otherwise it is great. Really like the ice in the cart cooler and the plug in for your phone. Will definitely play this course often.
Great tournaments
We hosted a Nextgengolf City Tour event with Falconhead and their tournament staff is top notch. Not only is the course fantastic but the staff at Falconhead is some of the best in Texas.
Great Experience
The course was in excellent condition and the greens were perfect. The elevation changes make for some great views of the surrounding area. The price was very reasonable and we got great value for our money. I will be back soon.
Good Shape
The course was in great condition. It was amazing considering the Texas heat in August. The course is challenging, but fair. We will play there again soon.
Falcon head
Played this course before. It’s a beautiful course. Plays long, pace is quick. The staff is friendly and helpful. We will definitely play it again.
Falconhead was Fabulous!
Great day for golf at Falconhead! Loved the course, especially #8.... Fivesome in front of us was kind of slow, but otherwise an enjoyable round!
Pro course
Beautiful and well kept in excellent condition. Could use better, more fluffy sand in traps. Lacks yardage markers on course. Each golf cart comes with cooler containing ice.
tough greens to putt
Gorgeous layout..fantastic shape....tough greens to putt with subtle changes due to the hills... generous wide fairways...course was in great shape..pace of play was outstanding...it's played through a PUD with a variety of homes on the edges but not too close to the course...pro shop and bar area are nothing special...but had a decent chicken salad sandwich... a good variety of tough par 3's and tough par 4's to go with some easier holes...it has a driving range....
Great Course, Scenery, and Play
I loved this course, and I will be back to play many times.
First time playing Falcon head, and enjoyed the round even if the score did not reflect it. Course is in great condition and provides challenges for every golfer! 2 thumbs up!
Love .
I love this course! Green is still in good shape and easy place for a round of golf .
Wish I could play more often here .
The course was in incredible shape. Well maintained.
WHERE HAVE ALL THE MARSHALS GONE?
Another LENGTHY round @Falconhead. 5+hours!, This is what's killing the game. Competent marshals appear to be extinct. We had a novice golfer ahead of us playing from the gold tee so we constantly had to wait at the tee-box for him to clear out before we could hit.
So much for the USGA promotion of 'playing it forward' to enhance EVERYBODY'S Enjoyment of the game!
To be fair to the course, it was in superb condition and when it blows there it is a tough challenge..
Bachelor Party Perfection
We played a s a group, in town for a bachelor party. The staff was very helpful over the phone before we booked, exceptional upon arrival and after the round. The golf course was in great shape, perfectly raked bunkers, pristine fairways and fast, true greens. The layout is exciting, fair and challenging. Even the beverage cart was managed expertly. She came around often and was careful not to interfere or distract us. I can’t recall playing at a course where professionalism was so obvious in all facets; service, maintenance and performance. Loved this course and our experience. Thank you Falconhead Golf Course.
Don't Play on Sunday
Absolutely no sense of urgency regarding speed of play. The round took 5 and a half hours for a twosome! While the brief rain shower slowed things a bit, the marshals only laughed when we asked if the group in front of us could be sped up. Nice course, but waiting 15 minutes between shots is ridiculous. Won't be going back.
