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.

Beautiful Day for Golf
Hit the ball great beautiful layout !
Great Course...
This course was in fantastic condition, and it was a great deal of fun to play....
great hill country course
course was beautiful and green.
Friendly Staff
I locked my key's in my car and wasn't going to make my tee time, they allowed me to use a loaner set of clubs until my spare key was delivered to me to get my clubs on the Turn. Made it very easy and didn't hesitate to lend a helping hand. On top of that the Course is gorgeous, Highly Recommend.
Good Course
Not very inviting upon arriving. Check in was none eventful. Driving range was closed for our 8:30 tee on a Saturday for maintenance. Green had been sanded, check-in didn't mention it. The practice green was also sanded. I had to ask the starter if this was the case on the course. Now for the good stuff. Other than the greens the course, the starter and the cart person were great! My wife said it the most fun she's had golfing in a while. Book early tee times appear to go fast.
Great lay out but Greens way unfair
The course is beautiful design but the Greens way to fast and very difficult.
Why make them this way?
Vaaler greens are tough but fair but these are tough and not fair to any level of golfer.
Will not play again just because the greens

Great Texas Winter Round
My second time playing this course and I have really enjoyed it each time. The greens were a bit fast, but hey, it's Texas - Good news - you're on the green. Bad news, you're on the green.... All in all, a great course with an awesome staff. The starters went out of their way to make sure we understood the course conditions and pin positions, which was much appreciated.

Playing in the Rain
This course offers a wide array of shot selection and rewards the long ball. I played in the middle of December and the fairway was still in good condition and the greens help the ball well. I wasn't expecting much for this time of year but the course exceeded my expectation. This course can be brutal if you don't have a good tee to green game but is fun for all levels. It can be a little pricey but I would recommend giving it a shot if your in the area.
Nice course/Nice layout
Have been wanting to play this course for quite a while. I was not disappointed in the least. We joined up with a couple of youngsters who wanted to play the Gold tees. My son and I are used to playing from the Whites. We ended up playing the Gold and it was a difficult day. Playing from the White or Blue would have been more enjoyable. I'm used to having 150-160 to the greens after my drives, but all day it was more likely 185 to 200. It made for a long day and I got to use a lot of different clubs in the bag. The greens were running at 10 that day and were very challenging because of the size and undulations. There are plenty of traps, both fairway and greenside to steer clear of but they were very well maintained. The 8th hole (their signature hole) was the most challenging for our group. We all missed the green to the right and ended up with 5's or worse. The worse part of the day was the weather. It was a chilly 48 degrees and a bit windy. I will definitely be returning here when it's warmer.

Great course, easy to get around
I play this course quite a bit and absolutely love it. It is a challenging course but not overwhelming, the staff is very friendly and the course really well kept. When friends come to town, this will be the first course I'll bring them to.

Fair yet challenging for most players with a 18 or lower handicap
Great course, interesting designed holes with hilly, tree-lined fairways. Signature Par 3 on front 9 is a great hole to enjoy...make a par and you've made your day. Greens are fast, really fast, accentuating the break on rolling greens. Staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Checkin was quick. Highly recommend arriving about 30-40 minutes early to spend about 10 minutes on the practice green...it may save you a few strokes.

nice course unfriendly staff
Put into a foursome and warned about pace of play after the first shot.
A cart in front of our group died and the staff drive back and forth durring our time on the hole and did not offer to wait till we played.
Marshall continued to go by even though we had a good pace and no one behind us.
Frustrated the group and really wasn't justified.
Thank you for taking the time to review our course. We are glad you you like our course and we apologize for the experience you had with our staff. I want to ensure you we have the marshalls going by on the course to ensure pace of play and etiquette. We hope that you will come see us again. Thank you for taking the time to review the course, we appreciate any and all feedback.
Train your marshalls
The course is generally great. I used to be a member but have moved. The day we played it was raining off and on all day, but still enjoyable.
The only problem all day was the marshalls. We tee'd off at 1:30 so we knew that we would have to have a good pace to beat darkness. There were a couple of groups of drunken "frat boys" in front of us who ended up playing together. Finally, in an effort to finish, we passed them on 14. There were 5 carts there, with one of them being a marshall, chatting away with them.
I've always thought that marshalls were there to prevent this from happening.
The good news is, we skipped two holes and were able to finish.
Tight Greens
Well managed and Maintained course - Fairways in great shape - greens small and in good condition - Pay attention to the wind
top notch track
I've played Falconhead countless times. Rarely disappoints. Fairways were lovely. Greens smooth and rolling 10.5.
