Very nice course

This is a very nice course. It is challenging but not overly hard for even the weekend golfer. I would recommend playing here if you’re in the area. You won’t be disappointed.

Sneaky tough Nicklaus design in the hills

Got the chance to get on Flintrock Falls as part of their partnership with the Sonesta Hotel in Bee Cave, which has some access to the course, as well as stay-and-plays with Falconhead.

Flintrock is the second fiddle to the Signature course at Lakeway but has some exciting holes. I like the opener a lot, even if there is a tree in the fairway, and the 2nd hole is a scenic par 3. The par-5 3rd hole and it's little green ate our group alive.

Trees certainly come into play here. I'm still stewing about a few drives I thought were in great shape only to end up in jail.

It's the best conditioned of the four Lakeway courses at the moment, I'm told. It is certainly solid and the clubhouse is nice too. No range, just hitting nets, so that's a bit of a bummer.

Ultimately this layout is pretty good but checks in a shade below the central Texas a-list privates. Still, definitely worth getting out there if you're invited or have a connection thru ClubCorp.

One of my favorites in Austin

Note to self: Wednesdays are course maintenance days, apparently, and don't get stuck between impatient member groups. Fairways were well maintained and greens rolled true, as evidenced by real time work of crewmembers on every other hole. Bunkers were still wet from rain a few days ago, as were areas with thicker rough or more shade. Practice facility is one of the best in Austin, public or uber private.

Golf Outing

Great day, great friends, and nice course. Only negatives were firm, recently punched greens. Nice views and elevation changes made playing both exciting and challenging. Basic green fees are high, but would play again with a coupon.

This course has lots of beautiful scenery but is very hard and unfair and the greens we’re recently punched and would have been nice if I was told that when booking. Way very priced in my opinion

Exceeded My Expectations

I’m usually wary of residential courses, but I don’t think a house/yard came into play all day. It’s a really sprawling, contoured track. Very enjoyable.

Not worth paying full price. This currently ranks at bottom for Austin courses for me. Just nothing special except for the cool green on hole 8.

Fair test

I live in the Midwest and played this course in late March with my daughter while on spring break. I really enjoyed the friendliness of that staff, particularly the starter. Good amenities, especially the practice area and the brisket sandwich, so don't be afraid to come early

There are no bad holes, but the course is not particularly memorable. You will notice that most photographs of this course show different angles of the same par 3. The course itself is not what I would call a canyon or quarry type layout, so beware.

There was rain two days before our round, so the course while rather firm was paths only. That made for a brutal pace so we bailed after just 9 holes. The conditioning was not great. Greens were on the slow side. Tee boxes and fairways were nice. Rough and bunkers were spotty. Too be fair the rain from earlier in the week may have kept the crews from being able to rake.

Falconhead is probably less than half the price of La Cantera or Barton Springs, so with that in mind, this is priced right and worth a visit.

Hill country gem

Falconhead can be described as a hill country gem. Set amongst a very nice Austin neighborhood, the views of spectacular homes along with the hill country is simply spectacular. Carts are nice but would like to see a GPS added to them for convenience. Conditions were very good the day of play. Bunkers were all raked and in very good condition. Fairways and rough were cut and looked very nice. The greens were average speed (the board in the clubhouse said 8). I’d concur they were approximately that speed. Not overly quick, but not underwhelmingly slow either. I played at the LaCantera the week previously so Falconhead’s weren’t quite as quick. Hole variety isn’t lacking. Short par 4s. Long difficult ones. Up hill second shots seemed to be the tendency around the place. The trough bunkers were very neat and unique. Hole 8 may be the nicest par three landscaping and setting of any course anywhere. Enjoy! Overall a solid 4-5 star course worth the play if in the Austin area.

Perfect Greens

My only complaint is that I could not blame the course for my bad score (lol). The greens were in perfect condition as well as the tee boxes and fairways. It cost just a little more than some other courses around but well worth it.

Ok course

Kind of speedy for this course. I am from the Midwest and I am used to golf courses being lush. This course might be coming out of winter and was not lush or beautiful. Also? The fairways were hard as a rock, Perhaps that is the truth of Texas golf courses
