Falconhead Golf Club
About Falconhead Golf Club
Falconhead Golf Club sits in the Texas Hill Country west of Austin, and its opening stretch takes full advantage of the rolling terrain and surrounding views. The first is a downhill par 4 that sweeps from right to left across two landing levels, with mounding along the right side and a low-profile green protected by a large bunker; the putting surface holds more slope than it first appears.
The second ranks as the course's hardest hole, playing from a broad sloping fairway with a right-side bunker that only long drives reach. The approach carries a small creek to an elevated green, with a grove of oaks and a deep bunker waiting short and left.

The layout's first par 5 demands an accurate tee shot and is reachable in two only by the longest hitters. A big bunker guards the right, a trough bunker sits short and left of the green, and a false front can send short approaches back down the fairway.
