Lakeway Resort & Spa

This is a great course! Layout is challenging from various tees. It’s mostly in good condition aside from some minor patchy areas on a few greens. It’s a little pricey for my budget at $90, but it’s enjoyable and the pace of play was good. The pro shop has a tiny bar attached that serves terrible breakfast tacos without salsa so don’t stay for the food. Otherwise a good place overall. 👍🏼

Staff is friendly, little mix up with carts and tee times in the beginning but we got it sorted out.

Hole 1 has views of the new tall buildings in downtown, absolutely gorgeous. Now that it’s not 200 degrees outside I’ll be back soon!

Dry time of year in TX, and most public courses are a bit dry understandably. It was about 105 when I played, and very crispy. Water refill areas about every other hole were very nice. Full, and nice and cold. Greens had some sand on them to prepare for fall. I'm sure in another week or two the course will be nice and green, and in great condition. I've played in the spring and fall, and one of my favorite courses in Austin.

I have tried to like you all. Jamming people on to the course with zero regard to pace of play and then charging $100+ is a golf crime. I highly recommend avoiding this place at all times.. unless you want a 5.5 hour round.

As of august , falcon heads greens are in rough shape, lots of putts went off line because of bumpy greens. Amazing practice area with trackmans. But even the chipping area was brutal. Star ranch is the cream of the crop rn condition wise for a public course. Would have not have come here if I knew it was in such bad shape.

Staff is great, but that's about the extent of my positive reviews. I've played Falconhead several times since it's very close to my house, but for a course that has so much potential, I wouldn't be that surprised if it's gone in the next 5 or so years. I won't pretend to understand the complexity of running a golf course with the absurdity that is a Texas summer, but I've never played here in any season when the conditions aren't terrible. It seems like they don't prioritize conditioning greens and tee boxes. Course is charging steep prices for a poorly managed muni track, so it's very low value in my opinion. Would really like to see this place improve.

I've played Falconhead roughly a dozen times over the last year and a half. I've seen it in phenomenal condition (as recently as last month) and I've seen it be less than stellar, but no worse than the local average. With that said, whatever is going on over there recently is nothing short of an embarrassment. My father flew in from D.C. for a few days of golf and I told him we HAD to play a sunset round at Falconhead for the incredible views. Throughout the round, we spent more time staring down at the horribly groomed greens than the natural beauty I brought him out for. To think that they're charging up to $120 a round for people to play during regular daytime hours is a complete joke.

Greens and tee boxes are horrific especially for how expensive the green fees are. Would stay away for a while.

Fairways is great condition… greens, bunkers, tee boxes poor. Pace if play was slower than expected for evening round.

Do not play here. I couldn’t believe that I was going to have to pay $130 for the worst greens I’ve played in Texas. I even called before to make sure the greens were in good shape. Pro shop was answered by a kid who was like uh yah I think they’re good. Full of disease and in horrible shape. Asked the groundscrew what is going on and they said it’s an issue with their overseed. If that’s the case then change the price to play $60 until the problem is fixed.

Course is in pretty nice shape 2 has a fungus eating the green besides that course is in good shape

Falconhead is a fun course but their prices are steep, especially as their losing greens in the summer heat. Since Greyrock has closed for renovation they've raised their prices, I understand the economics, but don't respect the ethics of it. Charging players who choose to walk the same rate as those who use a cart is also a questionable ethical decision. Sunk cost with cart lease, sure, but walkers are easier on the course and cause less maintenance work from the grounds crew. The foot bridges across waterways are completely unsafe if they even exist at all. Still a good course and a place you can get early time so I'll be back, but this place could treat walkers better.
