Horrible greens

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.

Walked

Overpriced, Dead Greens, Good Course

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.

Great course, a bit overpriced

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.

Could have been better

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.

Nice course nice staff slow play

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

Slow play

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.

not worth the fee

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.

Disappointing Customer Service Response

I sprained my knee on Sunday morning so called the pro shop to cancel my 1:39pm round as I was unable to play. The gentlemen at the pro shop referenced I was within the 24 hr cancel policy but would make a note under the circumstances and not charge me - he was very nice. Later that evening I got an e-mail from GolfNow I was being billed $240 for my round due to the late cancellation. I contacted GolfNow to relay my conversation with the pro shop and asked for waiving of the bill. GolfNow contacted Falconhead who then refused citing the cancellation policy. I'm very disappointed by this response and not planning on returning.

Pace of Play

It took 5+ hrs to finish the round with a group of experienced (low handicap) golfers. We had to wait on the group in front of us (every shot), ridiculous.

Beautiful course

Course was in great shape. Love the layout here and they have a great practice facility. Only saw the cart girl once so that was a drag since there was little to no water in the coolers on the course.

Avoid Gift Cards !!!!!

Terrible customer service. Tried to redeem a Magnolia golf gift card and was told that it had expired and nothing they could do. The buyer of the card was not told of an expiration date and the card did not say it on it. They could tell when it was issued and that it had not been used, but because it was more than a year old, essentially "too bad". Talked to the check in person, the general manager and the regional manager for Magnolia Golf Management (the Teravista/AveryRanch/Falconhead management company). Reached out to the owner of Magnolia. No one cared.
