Great shape!

My buddy and i had a great afternoon at FH. We found the fairways and general landscaping feautures to be immaculate. We were especially surprised at how healthy and lush the fairways were. Next, the greens were probably rolling around 13 which blew our minds. Putts were reacting just as they would on a tournament course. If you missed the correct side of the green, your ball would roll and roll and roll down to the fringe. I personally like these sorts of greens. To cap off the day my friend knocked in a hole in one on the signature par three. The nines have been reverse now as well which we felt was a nice touch. I would highly recommend this course in its current condition to anyone.

Great layout!

Love this course and the layout! Greens are still a little long but in a week or so this course will be in pristine shape.

Always one of my favs!

I've been able to play at Falconhead a few times now and it has always been in tip top shape. It truly gives you the feel of playing on a tour course. It's a super fun course that has some challenging holes to keep you on your toes. I would highly recommend this course to anybody who enjoys golf and is looking for a great course to play.

Very poor customer service for the price point

Simply put, the customer service at Falconhead does not match what you would expect at this price point. Not even close. If you can get on for less than $50 then I would say go ahead and give it a shot because there are some interesting holes. Anything over $50 just isn't worth it in my opinion. Our group paid $90 and we were treated poorly pretty much from the time that we stepped onto the property. The starter chewed us out on the first tee before we had even started the round and was completely unprofessional. Honestly, it was one of those "wait, is this guy actually being serious?" types of moments. Just unacceptable. I was never once given the impression that their employees understood and/or appreciated that their guests are who drive their business. After several incidents in as many rounds, I'm done with this course until there is a change in management.

The Course is in Great Shape

The golf experience went great. The starters were well receptive to myself being a single and allowed me to head off on the back nine first to allow me continuous play. This allowed continuous play in good time with minimal waiting.

One of Austin's best

Except for a few greens that have some roughness in spots, the course is in fabulous condition, lush fairways, beautiful vistas and views, elegant surroundings, just a great course that keeps you coming back for more. Playable but very challenging from the tips, still challenging forward but easier. Highly recommend this course especially when you can get such a great deal off GolfNow.

Great, challenging track, with an exceptional staff.

A challenging track, so sometimes that can slow things down a little. Greens are slow, but true. Staff is always top notch- courteous and friendly from check in, to the rangers.

Course nice but not worth the time

We teed off at 2:15 yesterday and didn't walk off the course until 7:15. The marshals have no idea how to manage pace of play. There were two groups in front of us and no one beyond them. They wouldn't let us play through and the marshal did nothing when we said something to him about it. Some of the greens could use some work but otherwise the course was in good shape. I just can't get away from the pace of play. When three groups are on a hole and one is waiting to tee off behind the guys on the tee box something is wrong. This is my third round at Falcon Head and my last. Five hours is unacceptable. My first two rounds were in the 4 to 4 1/2 hour range. So as far as I know this course plays extra slow. Good luck trying to find a rhythm.

Challenging course and very good condition

They reversed the 9's and and made some changes to the landscape. Course looks pristine and the reversing of the 9's makes it more enjoyable to play.

Great course in Lakeway

Falconhead is one of my favorite courses in Austin and with the GolfNow discount, it is definitely worth the price. They take great care of the course and the staff is always looking to help. It's longer than average and will require some course strategy to keep you out of trouble. Green tee boxes, green fairways and green...greens. If you've never played it, spend the few extra bucks and go. You won't regret it!

Sorry we Intruded

The staff is what ruined my view of this course. In the pro shop at 7 AM there were three employees, one on the phone and two completely ignoring us. No chance of getting any range practice if you're an early bird because golf balls don't fly before 8 o clock at this place. How hard would it be to leave out some practice balls or offer freaking range tokens at sunrise? The starter stressed and beat pace of play into our heads then he promptly lets a twosome behind us. Just not the way you want to start your golf experience. Course was in fair enough condition but not for the price.

The course is a great layout.

The course is very nice. Not crazy about the range being so far from the shop. The staff is exceptionally nice. A couple of the greens are spotty in places and are also very grainy for such a new track. The 18th hole is out of place. I have never seen a finishing hole with a green that slopes from front to back while you are hitting your approach from way below the shelf. It needs a revamp...it is almost like somebody got tired and said oh whatever, we are done here. Wouldn't be hard to rebuild it.

Great condition and great service!

Course was in great shape and the marshalls were very friendly. Helped us move along a really really slow group in front of us. This is one of my favorite courses in Austin.

Nice Course, not so quality Marshall

The course itself was in decent shape. The greens were for the most part consistent, and the fairways were fairly green for February. The main reason this course doesn't get a better review is because of it's staff. It was my first time to the course, and not a single person made me feel all that welcome. When I asked for directions, they for the most part ignored me until I clearly wasn't going to leave them alone. The marshall was also unfriendly. He got onto my foursome for not keeping pace of play when we were clearly waiting for the group in front of us to leave the green so we could hit our balls.

Overall the course was nice, however the staff was not.

Falcon Head is a great course, very challenging but over priced. They need a little more attention to the details.

The course had a tournament earlier in the day and they did not anticipate for the delays later in the day. I had a tee time for 12:45 and we started @ 1:20. Every tee box was a wait and tensions were high. The round took 5 1/2 hours, not much fun. They ran out of carts and this course charges a premium price. If it weren't for Golf Now I would have paid full price, $85.00 to $90.00. The course is good but not that good. Thank you Golf Now, not your fault!

Great hilly course

Great hilly course. Super friendly marshal helped me replay a second round starting from the 10th hole, so that I can play two rounds from 11h20 to 18h15. Green are generally in good shape except for the signature 17th hole where superintendent can't find a way to keep it alive. I have been here in the last 3 years, and it always seem to be the worse green on the course but this year it's in better shape. greens were not very fast yesterday but it's not easy to read, unless you're a member. I booked with golfnow and the replay cost me the same amount than the first round!
