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.

Good day at Falconhead
Other than traffic, the day was outstanding. Staff is always extremely friendly and accomadating. Course is in terrific shape, and it wasn't very crowded. Falconhead may be the best value in Austin given the tremendous course and low green fees.
This a nice challenging choose.
Definitely enjoyed the course and would recommend to anyone who has not played it. A good layout, and nice greens.
I enjoyed the course
This is a nice course. The fairways and greens are in excellent shape. The bunkers were wet and water standing in some that is expected since it rained the night prior. I enjoyed the course it a challenge but fun for a novice like myself.
Great Course in the Hill Country
Great course. These guys host a golfnow league play during the spring and early summer. Lots of fun.
Falcon #5
The first couple of holes of this course are challenging - so you need to keep your head in the game.
To me, the hardest part of Falcon Head is the greens. However, I played with one of the marshals and a club regular. They provided some really good insights into reading the greens and the overall topography. It really helped me on this course and it will help my overall game too.
I've played here about 5 rounds now - and I'll be back again.
Falcon head--Fun Course
My son and I played while vacationing on Lake Travis. He is a beginner, (less than ten rounds played), and I do not recommend this course for those with 25+ handicap...he struggled. I enjoyed the course as it reminded me of the hilly courses in Huntsville. Played mid day, which was not as hot as I expected for August. Course played a bit slow for mid day on a Tuesday, but it was worth it.
Nice
Great time! Great course! Great people working there!
Didn't give food a 5 just because I didn't eat, so honestly can't rate it.
Very challenging course
Very challenging layout! Course seems longer than 6700+ from gold tees. Was in excellent condition . Greens still a little bumpy from recent sanding but should be perfect in a few days.
Number 2 (#1 handicap hole ) is still one of the most difficult holes in Austin area.
Overall excellent shape and pace of play was great.
Maybe a little overpriced for the heat of the summer.
Falconhead is always perfect
Played this course for years and I still love it every time. Always in good shape and challenging as well.
Gem of a course
Had a terrific time at time. 8th hole is beautiful club up don't let the yardage fool you elevated green. I came in from Houston as part of a 4 day getaway worth every penny.
Great Course
The course was a great value especially if you play twilight.
Very Well Kept !
I grew up building Golf Courses w/ my dad. I can tell you this is a great course! I enjoyed the layout. The greens were in great shape ! The ball checked up nicely. Its in great shape and being well mamanged by the super. I will be back!
great views!
Course was in good shape after recent rain in the area. Greens had been punched earlier in week. Will definitely play again!
New staff member is not a Golfnow fan
Apparently a new staff member (Rex) isn't a fan of Golfnow customers. We are apparently second rate citizens.
Great Golf Course
Booked online and the pro shop had the reservation but the starter didn't. This is the second time that the starter was unaware of my tee time. Some kind of problem syncing with the pro shop.
Beverage gal stopped by at no. 13 but was out of my beer. Said she would meet me at the next hole and have it. Never showed up.
This course is great!
When I play here I am usually entertaining clients and everyone I have brought here has loved the course and the customer service. The course and the greens are always in top notch condition and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
course in great shape
I liked everything about this course. It was in great shape, staff helpful and friendly, fellow golfers were pleasant, helpful and fun to play golf with; and definitely worth the price.
First Time At Falcon Head
This is was nice course and worth the price from GN. The course has a lot of elevation change and with the wind, can make quite a few holes challenging. If you do not hit your wedges accurately, you will find yourself in a lot of trouble. Up and Downs will be few and far between.
