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.

Excellent course definitely worth it not for any hacks consider moving up a T next time thoroughly enjoyed it putting was so smooth it very predictable even though the greens have quite a bit of slope.

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 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.

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....
