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.

Nice layout.
I think,This place is one of nicest place to play for public course .
Solid track
Solid track with impeccable fast greens, mostly solid tee boxes and fairways with little run. For all the long up hill par fours, the next was a short par four. Play with strategy and you’ll play well. Play without and the course will win. Greens run true, faster than most but watch the hole...it’s easy to lip out. Enjoy the 8th hole. Probably the best par 3 in all of the Austin area.
Nice Condition
Greens were perfect. Course and Staff were excellent.
Fun day
Got off early from work and wanted to get out for a quick round. The round took a little over 3 hrs, course in great condition.....just an enjoyable round. It helps that I was playing well but this is certainly a challenging course from any tee.
Falcon Head Review
Views were very scenic. Course conditions were fantastic. Would definitely play again.
Aerated Greens
I love Falconhead. Just was a challenge because the greens were aerated and pave was crawling.
Thank you for playing Falconhead with us. Although it is a disruption in playing conditions, aerification is necessary to maintain the conditions for the standards we set. Our website is always available to check our aerification schedule.
Sometimes our pace of play could be 4 hours or less, however the weekends might be more than that because of the amount of play. We still attempt to get all rounds in by 4:20. Thanks again.
Falcon head Review
This course is top notch challenging for any golfer. The greens are smooth and roll fair and when I played it was windy witch made it a little more interesting. The signature par 3 is beautiful as is the whole experience.
Thank you u726105949 for the five star rating and review. We hope to see you tee off again at Falconhead this season.
Falconhed Golf Course - A Winner
Played Falconhead this past weekend. The condition of the course was excellent - greens, fairways, and traps. The overall pace of play was a bit slow taking over 4.5 hours to complete the round. The wind was also a big factor making the course play quite long into the wind. There were a number of the par 4's that required a driver and long iron or rescue club to reach even after a good dirve. Would certainly go again!
Thank you bassjm3 for the five star rating and review! We are glad to hear you had a great time even with the rough wind. Hope to see you again soon this season at Falconhead!
Golf at its best
One of the better courses I’ve played in a while. Everything on the course was in near perfect condition. The greens were flawless. Number 7 is one of the prettiest holes around. A great day!
Thank you Pauld57 for the five star rating and review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your round at Falconhead. See you again soon this season!
Great course
I had a great round.while I was waiting to play a couple of men walked by and one comment was,I didn't think they let women play here.the response was,well I guess it's ok.this did not make me feel welcomed
When I finished my round I went to turn my score in and I was told I had no score because I had cheated.that did not seem real fair as I did have questions during the round and did as I was directed
I will be back and would hope when I ask for rule help I will be given the correct rule to follow.
I had a great round and had a great team.nect time I intend to do better and follow the correct rules of play
Great Course for the money.
This is an outstanding course, and is in great shape. Fairways are the best I’ve seen in a long time.
The staff on and off the course were great as well.
I will definitely be back for another round, no matter how hot it gets!
Thank you damonkearns for the five star rating and review from your recent visit to Falconhead! We are happy to hear you had a great time and the course matched your expectations. Hope to see you again this summer!
Friendly staff. fun course.
Falconhead is always in good shape from tee to green. The pace of play is enforced, and results in a very pleasurable experience. Friendly staff. However, the green fees have gotten out of hand., so that means I will play there about twice a year.
Thank you rickgra for the five star rating and review from your recent visit to Falconhead! We hope to see you again this year.
Great course, questionable tee policy
Falconhead was a great course. Perfect grass conditions, good consistent bunkers, and greens that rolled very true. Lots of shot values for the better player too. I found it challenging off the tee (quite a few 3 woods) and rather generous around the greens. I played with 3 members on a holiday Monday on a very hot and muggy morning. Pace of play was OK, but I question mngt decision to let a fivesome of walkers out as the 4th group of the day. My foursome waited on every shot.
Loved the course. Very playable. I would love to come back when it is cooler and less crowded. I like that all par 5's were reachable with a good drive. Lots of wildlife running around in the morning too. When I find myself in west Austin, I will go back.
Thank you jcook1313 for the four star rating and review from your recent visit! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the course and your expectations were met! Hope to see you again soon this season at Falconhead.
Very nice course
This is a very nice course. It is challenging but not overly hard for even the weekend golfer. I would recommend playing here if you’re in the area. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you u2436417 for visiting us from Corpus Christi and writing a great five star review from your weekend visit! We hope to see you again soon this season at Falconhead Golf Club.

Excellent conditions! Greens are rolling true after being aerated. Get out there!
