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.

Challenging, but fun course
Enjoyed the round, despite my inconsistent play. Long course, with several challenging holes. Disappointed in the condition of the green on #8, the signature hole.
Great course.
One of the best public courses in Central Texas. Great layout and tough greens.

Nice course
My 15 year old son and I played on a Friday morning. The course had aerated greens, but still were in good shape. The starter let us know about the aeration before we started our round and gave us some tips on the course. I will definitely come back to play again.

one of the best in austin
hadn't been out to falconhead in over a year, but it remains one of the best courses in austin. very tough layout, but rewarding and fair. there are many tough holes (2, 4, 15, 18), but some really fun not so hard ones too (7, 9, 14).
it's a little dry out there, but that's to be expected this time of year. greens are in nice shape and rolling well, but are pretty hard, so allow for your approach shots and chips to roll out a little more than you're used to.
this course is a must play!

Pray you're not behind a slow group out here
Overall course conditions were honestly pretty good. Practice facility is very nice and putting green is large enough to handle many golfers. I have no complaints about the course at all.
My biggest complaint and the reason we quit after 15.holes was due to the incredibly slow pace of play. Since the start of the round we had to wait on every tee shot and approach. The Marshall was very nice and explained that the first 3 holes were very tough which is why the pace was so slow. I wish I could've believed that. There was a group of 4 gentlemen in their 30's that were holding up a three some in front of us, our own group and 2 three somes behind us. The marshall came by a few times to tell us he was doing his best to push that group, he even mentioned that he forced them to skip 10 altogether. At the end of the day we had clocked in 15 holes in about 5 hours and still had a good hour to go. In cases such as these, why not have the pro or someone with power handle this. It got to the point that the 2 three somes behind us became a six-some.
Again my only beef was the terrible pace that I experienced. Will not go back simply because the course marshall wasn't able to handle the situation.
Thank you so much for your feedback! We greatly appreciate any and all feedback. I apologize for the pace of play on the day that you had played. We hope that you will give us another try. Be sure to like us on Facebook for special online offers! Again thank you for the feedback.
Swing good and play smart
Practice good risk/reward skills and stay in the fairway. Undulating greens and challenging slopes make putting the game.

It's a long but pretty wide open track. They just seem to struggle with keeping the greens

Its a course for intermediate to advanced skill lvl golfers
Its an awesome course with long narrow fairways, alot of dogleg holes and the greens are not flat but atleast they are big enough to play different shots.
Thank you so much for the feedback! We are so glad you enjoy our course and hope to see you out here again soon. Be sure to like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter so you can receive special offers and promotions only available through the social media sites. Thanks again and come on back!
Par three
Has one of the best looking par threes I have played. The greens were not as good as before they had been punched with the big holes an was really hard to play.

PGA difficulty but scoreable
Pace of play was very slow - took an hour to play the first three. On #3 the group in front of us took a solid 40 minutes on the hole. Drizzled from 11 - 18. Incredible facility, staff could not be any better. Best greens I have played.
Thank you very much for the feedback. We apologize for the pace of play, we will make sure to have marshals come around more often. Again, thank you for the feedback and we hope to see you again soon!
Wet round at Falconhead
Great interesting layout. Lots of testing lies and shots. Rewards good golf... In good condition for the most part after the torrents of rain the course has taken (few washed out bunkers and trees down). Range was closed. Not quite 5 stars but still one of the better courses in Austin. $75 is at the top end of what I would pay for this course. Other courses of similar quality can be had for less.
Thank you so much for the feedback, it's greatly appreciated! We are glad you enjoyed your experience with us and look forward to seeing you again soon. Again, thank you for the feedback!
Great course!
Fun layout, beautiful views. I thought the fairways, rough, and sand traps were in pretty good condition. The greens were super fast, which is fun, but they were a little bumpy. I will definitely be back to play again, enjoyed it. Hopefully they get the greens smoothed out. First time I played there everything was in great shape. Maybe I just caught them at a bad time. I wouldn't let the bumpy greens keep you away from this course, they weren't that bad. Go check it out!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, we appreciate it very much. We are so glad you enjoyed your experience and will be coming back. Thanks again for the feedback. Have a great day.
Best public course in austin
I've always heard great things about falconhead and finally made the trip. It's easily worth the $50 we paid. Got a hot deal. Best greens in Austin right now for sure. It's very peaceful and relaxing out there. Would love to play this course on a daily basis
Perfect place to play
This was my second time playing the course and the experience was great! I booked a hot deal through golf now and was treated as a guest regardless (not always the case at nicer courses). The course is well kept and the staff is helpful.
Up and down hills
Fun course. A little more challenging than expected
Great Layout
Course is great in both design and condition. Pace of play was close to 5 hours, had to wait on almost every shot. I expect this from the Austin muni's but I expect more when paying close to $100 a round.
Falconhead
Good time to play golf. It would have been a better value had they provided free range balls.
Love this track....
Falconhead is one of the premier courses in central Texas. It is quite difficult with side hill lies, elevation changes, and undulating greens. If you are willing to score a little higher but enjoy a great course then Falconhead is right for you.
