Falconhead Golf Club

Wonderful course, except this is the first time in all my years playing here that I can truly say the greens were horrible slow.

First time playing Falconhead. Good layout with a variety of doglegs and elevation. We played the whites so not long except into a strong wind.
Pace was slow due to a tournament so teed off @ 2:30 and finished in the dark at 7:30.
Very good practice range/putting facilities.
Staff in the pro shop and the restaurant was very friendly.
I will be playing this course again in the future.

This is one of my favorite courses in the area. Designed by the PGA it is a PGATour Signature Course and offers a tournament level quality of play. The conditions are always immaculate. The GolfNow prices are very reasonable, especially the Hotdeals. Falconhead is a challenging course with plenty of elevation change, making distance control paramount. The fairways are gorgeous and you will be rewarded for hitting them. Miss them and you will be tested. Find the native and be prepared to grab another ball. Greens are fairly large to give you a chance for GIRs, but your flat stick better be working. These greens can be very fast on a dry day but roll incredibly true. Hit the right line with the proper speed and birdies will be had.

A full service bar and proshop operated by capable and friendly personel will keep you lubricated and properly outfitted. The starter and marshall crew will get you out on time and keep a steady pace of play of roughly 4 hours.

Possibly the only knock and can say about this course is the inability to use a driver on the ironically named driving range. But if youre like me, you hate to waste good swings on the range anyway.

In short, do not miss an opportunity to get out on this beautiful course cut into the hill country terrain. You are sure to fall in love as I have.

Nice course. Lots of nice views. We were lucky to play with regulars, which was very helpful, as its hilly with blind shots and not always clear where to hit your ball. This considerably sped up our play. The arrival was a little wierd. There's a sign for a bag drop, but then no stand or anyone to direct you.

Falconhead is a great course that has not been taken care of and is known as the "tournament course"...they seem to have a tournament every day, which means the course is really beaten up...the day we were there they rushed us around the course for another tournament and made my guests feel we had made the wrong decision picking Falconhead...in general the staff at Falconhead is great...whatever the special in the clubhouse - you should order it - Falconhead has a great kitchen and kitchen staff...

With Texas Hill country vistas this rolling, open and challenging course has deep bunkers raised greens. The signature hole the #17 is worth the wait. This course is not a water course but you will not miss those types of holes with only the 17th a direct challenge. All other holes effectively use flag placement, raised greens and deep bunkers with several very unusual bunker layouts in the fairways.

Really enjoyed playing this course for my first time. Nice facility with a pleasant and helpful staff. The tee box variety allows a broad range of skill levels to play. Course was well-maintained and had a nice layout.

This was my first time playing this course and I will definetly be back. The staff is great and the course is kept in superb condition.

Course always seems to be in great shape when I play it. Cost on weekend mornings without GolfNow discount is high. Definitely good value with GolfNow.
Homesites are mostly set back and do not intrude on course.
Holes 16 and 17 are most appealing, with 16 being a great risk/reward hole.

this is one of the best courses in austin. the 17th is a great hole. there really isn't much else that needs to be said. it's definitely worth treating yourself to the higher price point for this great course.

I'll always remember this course as it was my first. I'd been running a local golf tournament for a half-dozen years before finally taking up the game myself. With just a few group lessons under my belt I was able to get onto one of the teams in my tourney and this happened to be the course we played that year. I subsequently hit my first house on #11 (I believe).

As for the course, it's been in fine shape every time I've played the course. It has it's fair share of challenges and a bit of elevation changes to work with being on the west side of Austin on the edge of the Hill Country.

If it's in your budget, then I'd certainly recommend you play it.
