Falconhead Golf Club

Note to self: Wednesdays are course maintenance days, apparently, and don't get stuck between impatient member groups. Fairways were well maintained and greens rolled true, as evidenced by real time work of crewmembers on every other hole. Bunkers were still wet from rain a few days ago, as were areas with thicker rough or more shade. Practice facility is one of the best in Austin, public or uber private.

very playable course - great layout. every hole is different. Course would be phenomenal if maintained properly. not in horrible shape, just not in great shape either.

Great day, great friends, and nice course. Only negatives were firm, recently punched greens. Nice views and elevation changes made playing both exciting and challenging. Basic green fees are high, but would play again with a coupon.

This course has lots of beautiful scenery but is very hard and unfair and the greens we’re recently punched and would have been nice if I was told that when booking. Way very priced in my opinion

I’m usually wary of residential courses, but I don’t think a house/yard came into play all day. It’s a really sprawling, contoured track. Very enjoyable.

Course in terrible shape.. had aerated greens but no mention when booking.. tons of crabgrass..

have seen it in better condition..would have rather played Kaiser..

Our foursome had a great time. The other three are low handicappers and they really enjoyed it. I'm a high handicapper, but still had a lot of fun.

Not worth paying full price. This currently ranks at bottom for Austin courses for me. Just nothing special except for the cool green on hole 8.

Showed up late for our tee time & staff was courteous & got us out without a problem. The scenery was beautiful lots of elevation changes. Got a lot of roll in the fairways. 8th hole awesome the way the grreen over hangs the water

I live in the Midwest and played this course in late March with my daughter while on spring break. I really enjoyed the friendliness of that staff, particularly the starter. Good amenities, especially the practice area and the brisket sandwich, so don't be afraid to come early

There are no bad holes, but the course is not particularly memorable. You will notice that most photographs of this course show different angles of the same par 3. The course itself is not what I would call a canyon or quarry type layout, so beware.

There was rain two days before our round, so the course while rather firm was paths only. That made for a brutal pace so we bailed after just 9 holes. The conditioning was not great. Greens were on the slow side. Tee boxes and fairways were nice. Rough and bunkers were spotty. Too be fair the rain from earlier in the week may have kept the crews from being able to rake.

Falconhead is probably less than half the price of La Cantera or Barton Springs, so with that in mind, this is priced right and worth a visit.

Falconhead can be described as a hill country gem. Set amongst a very nice Austin neighborhood, the views of spectacular homes along with the hill country is simply spectacular. Carts are nice but would like to see a GPS added to them for convenience. Conditions were very good the day of play. Bunkers were all raked and in very good condition. Fairways and rough were cut and looked very nice. The greens were average speed (the board in the clubhouse said 8). I’d concur they were approximately that speed. Not overly quick, but not underwhelmingly slow either. I played at the LaCantera the week previously so Falconhead’s weren’t quite as quick. Hole variety isn’t lacking. Short par 4s. Long difficult ones. Up hill second shots seemed to be the tendency around the place. The trough bunkers were very neat and unique. Hole 8 may be the nicest par three landscaping and setting of any course anywhere. Enjoy! Overall a solid 4-5 star course worth the play if in the Austin area.

My only complaint is that I could not blame the course for my bad score (lol). The greens were in perfect condition as well as the tee boxes and fairways. It cost just a little more than some other courses around but well worth it.

Kind of speedy for this course. I am from the Midwest and I am used to golf courses being lush. This course might be coming out of winter and was not lush or beautiful. Also? The fairways were hard as a rock, Perhaps that is the truth of Texas golf courses

The course was in great shape. The course was well marked.

Challenging from the tee to the green. The course will reward if you manage to land on the fairway, but even in some of those fairways, trees will make you think twice your next shot. Par 3’s are WOW

The course needs about two-three weeks and it will be exceptional. The course had still not grown back from the winter and it has been a very harsh winter in south Texas this winter. The course was extremely wet, even on the hills. Would not hesitate to go back, just not so early in the season next time.

This course allowed one to play almost all your clubs. The layout of the course was nice. The greens were difficult to read. The staff was friendly but the pace of play was slow. The round took over 4 1/2 hours. It would have been beneficial for the marshall to speed up play. Conditions were difficult due to the wind, but people were acting like JB Holmes as if a tournament was on the line before they hit. Not much of a clubhouse for a course which is normally charging $75 per round.
