Always fun
FalconHead is always a fun course to play. The layout is challenging but fair and good scores are out there. Even though they had just punched the greens they were still playable. You can never go wrong here.
Great Golfing but...
Really enjoyed this course... Layout is great... A great mix of challenging holes and scoring holes... Greens were challenging but fair...
The staff is not so friendly... Starter was super nice but everyone else seemed to not care about customer service... No beverage cart made it's rounds... At the turn we got waters but it was as if we were making the girl mad that we wanted water...
There was a group of 3 ahead of us with a young kid... No big deal but it really slowed the pace... Ahead of that group was a group of 6 kids... Not sure why they let a group of 6 play together... There were two marshals that kept driving by but they never got the pace up... They never even stopped to talk to the guys playing slow...
Last, the course is great... Loved playing it..
Enjoyed The Day (after we found the course)
A Nicklaus-designed course in the hills near Lake Travis. Challenging layout. There are several holes that you need to see to figure out (when you're done, you say "I would have played that different if I knew"). They have a 'cheat sheet' available in the pro shop with hints for each course. Some of it was helpful, some not so much. We very much enjoyed the round and would definitely play again (and would probably play better,, having seen the holes). Note - NO DRIVING RANGE. They have some hitting bays with mats and nets, but that's it. They 'share' a driving range with the other course - of course, the driving range is at the other course :-( Also, this is one of two courses at the Hills CC. They are NOT located together. Don't follow instructions to Hills CC. You have to specifically search for Flintrock Falls.
Pricey but good
The course is nice, but there are better courses for the money. It's almost always really packed and the pace of play really suffers because of it. All in all, a nice course if you don't mind slow play.
Challenging
Starter named Bill is welcoming and informative. Practice greens much slower than course. Tough course. GolfNow rates made this a better value.
Nice course
Nice course with a great layout, fast greens and a friendly staff. We were unable to use the range since our tee time was starting in twenty minutes when we arrived since it quite far from downtown. First time playing this course we were paired with a twosome that new the layout well and advised us what clubs to use and where to avoid trouble. I used every club in my bag.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are so glad you ended up enjoying your time with us. I apologize for missing the mark with our customer service team and that no one mentioned to you that we had sanded our green. We do have special promotions and offers online via Facebook.

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.

I love this course!
Falconhead is a wonderful course. Whenever I am in the Austin area, I try to figure out how to sneak in a round at Falconhead.

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.
I am the F&B mgr. of Falconhead and extend my sincere apologies for any unfriendly service. Could you please tell me what the girl behind the counter looked like and what time you were there.
