Lakeway Resort & Spa

The course was in pretty good shape and I was happy with the conditions of the fairways. There was a tournament the day I played and I think they had the greens cut down for that event because they were really fast. The layout of the course was great each hole presented new challenges. I was fortunate enough to avoid the bunkers, but they looked as if they were well maintained. Some of the bunkers were unique shapes that I've never seen before: long, skinny rectangles. I think they would have been a challenge if you're unfortunate enough to find your ball there. I will definitely go back and try the course again!

Tough course as I shot 85 from blue tees with a 12 handicap. Better have your A game in shape to play this challenging course.

Golf in the Austin area seems to be a little pricey. Falconhead is a little overpriced in my opinion but not terribly overpriced. Range was off mats which they did not tell us. Overall a little high but worth playing once. Have played others in the area that are better value.

Great Course, we played it after Austin's 12" of rain so it played longer than it should. Nice view and lots of Wildlife.

Couse was in very good condition. Fairways were better than some greens I have played. Greens were fast and consistant.
First, but not last time playing the course. Staff was very friendly.

Very friendly staff and the course maintained in great shape as usual.

Even after a summer of very little rain, Falconhead looked very good, not to mention the slippery (in a good way) greens. I got a "hot deal" for $24 but after playing would pay upwards of $40 for a round. I will definitely be back and am contemplating joining. Highly recommended.

Its always nice to play a course that is so well maintained. Only wish I could afford to play it more often!

This was my 3rd time playing this golf course. I must say its one of the best maintained courses in central Texas. It's too bad that each experience with pro shop, snack bar and starter has been aweful. Pro shop attendant ignores you standing in line, the girl at snack bar acts like you are ruining her day when you order a sandwich and the starter is not friendly at all. I would never be interested in a membership in a club where their is no hospitality taking place!

Would certainly play here more often if prices was in $40.00 ranges. We payed $69.00 which I thought was a little high.

I have played Falconhead the last 5 or 6 times I have visited Austin, and on each occasion I went home and bragged to my buddies about what a great facility it is. But when I visited Falconhead this past July, things were quite different. First, the practice facilities. There was almost no grass on the driving range, and they had allowed the putting green to bake out to the point where it was in terrible shape. I know it gets hot in Texas in the summertime, but that putting green looked like it had just been let go. Texas golf courses require a lot of water in the summertime, and it was obvious that not enough water had been used, and the maintenance of the putting green had dwindled to next to nothing. The course itself was very dry, but the greens on the course were better than the putting green. I hope the staff will take a look at these comments, because I really like Falconhead, but I won't continue to return there if the conditions don't improve tremendously.

I was in a group of 4 that was on time teeing off. A group of 2 was 10 minutes late and went off before us. Another group was ahead of them. in a 5 minute span at least 8 golfers teed off on 1. It took us almost an hour to get through the first 4 holes. While we were waiting on for the green, golfers behind us were waiting to tee off. Then one of the groups left creating a gap in front of us. The marshall was extremely rude coming by to tell use to 'Hurry Up'. He didn't realize we had been waiting on people all day.
I have been here before and have considered it one of the best in Austin. Hopefully my experience will improve next time.

Coming from flat Houston, it was nice to get the hill country feel in Austin. Didn't know anything about the course when I booked it and did based on reviews from others. I was glad I picked it. Although the greens were still recovering from recent aerification, I imagine they would be pretty good when fully back. The rest of the course was in pretty good condition and provided plenty of challenge. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and I would absolutely play there again!!

Great layout, greens were just aerated but still in great shape...super friendly staff

Great conditions. Friendly staff. Will return again!

My buddy and I play a course in the area every couple of weeks, and this, BY FAR, was the worst experience either of us have had on any course.

We booked the tee time Friday, to tee off Saturday morning at 10:15. Apparently, Falconhead scheduled a tourney that afternoon and needed the course cleared through hole 14 by 1230. For those of you keeping score at home, that's about 10 minutes a hole, for a foursome, on a Saturday! Unbelievable. This was not brought to our attention prior to booking, at check in, nor at the first tee.

The course marshal badgered us from holes 3 through 11, and encouraged us to completely skip the twelfth hole in order to accommodate the Lake Travis High School Football Team. We had to begin holes 13 and 14 from the 150 yard marker. When we asked for a rain check and offered to come back and play another day, the marshal got testy and demanded we abide by their request. Not a great way to treat your paying customers out to ENJOY their Saturday on the course.

You had the chance to make this right Falconhead. You booked the tee time, you should HONOR it. It is not the responsibility of your customers to accommodate your tournament. You got greedy, plain and simple, and lost four customers. Not to mention, I will share this with ANYONE AND EVERYONE that considers playing your course in the future.

Challenging course, greens have great speed. Overall a good course A+

Greens are on the edge of poor. They were froggy and slow and several had large areas that were unplayable. Fairways and tee boxes, for the most part, are fine. The second hole might be the toughest 4 par in town. Eight is the signature hole and is certainly unique and picturesque. However, they have stuggled with this green for a couple of years now. The entire left side and back of the green are burnt out.
Eighteen is a tough finishing hole. All in all, above average for a daily fee course. Avoid it on weekends, unless you enjoy spending over five hours to complete an eighteen hole round.

If Falconhead made their putting greens their top priority, this would be one of the best courses in Central Texas. The fairways, bunkers and rough are in terrific shape. Alas, the greens were poorly maintained years ago, and not much has changed. A great layout.

Even though they had just aerated the greens the course was in good shape and very enjoyable. It can be challenging if you pick the longer tees, so I would recommend moving up one to better enjoy your round and keep the pace of play.
