Lakeway Resort & Spa

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.

As usual Falconhead delivered....

Even in the middle of the summer the course was in great shape.

A lot of the greens need work and the sprinklers came on when we still had 5 holes to play

Falconhead is a challenging and unique course but is a tad overpriced for what is offered. Some greens were in very poor conditions. During my most recent outing the sprinklers were also turned on with plenty of daylight, and 4 holes left to play. Finished my round a little wetter than I had wished.

Played late in the day…It’s a good course, it was in pretty bad condition. Greens were thin and banged up pretty bad. Tee boxes were pretty torn up. Bunkers were in bad shape. Fairways were pretty good.

Disappointed because it’s usually in much better condition.

I played ob 7/3. Staff is friendly facilities are nice, however the course allowed a group of 5, One was supposed to just watch apparently. The group was warned 3x by the starter. The 5th guy was clearly playing taking 10+ min per green. Really frustrating to wait on every approach because a group is clearly breaking the basic rules of golf and have the group not removed from the course. Would re rate in future but for now I’m not gonna pay 130 to watch a group of 5 screw off in 100 degree plus heat and ruin a round. Mgmt needs to let the marshals remove groups from the course that don’t respond to warnings. I can play courses of similar quality for less

The course, frankly, is too difficult for average to high handicapped golfers. That is why it was over a 4 1/2 hour round. Slow play (anything over 4 hours) is a game-killer.

Nice fairways, decent greens, but the tee boxes (blue tees) were horrible. Seems they haven't moved the tee markers in weeks. 20 feet forward or back, or even 10 feet to a side - great grass. Also disappointed that the maintenance around the greens has definitely slipped. Far too many bare areas. For a $124 green fee, much better conditions should be provided. Teravista, Avery Ranch, and Star Ranch are less expensive with better conditions.
