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

Greens

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

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.

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.

Starter Issues

Your starter should consider avoiding political conversations. Referring to “lib-tards” out loud with no regard to who might be listening. Ranting about the “brand names” that he won’t buy do to their social views and inclusions. This behavior is unacceptable and should never be a part of a round of golf, especially from a course employee. I will NOT be playing another round of golf at Falconhead.

By the way; sending a single out on a Sunday with all foursomes in front doesn’t make a lot of sense either.

Marshals need to push the slow pacers

This is the third time in row the pace on the course was extremely slow. We did not see any marshals driving the slow groups. Twice some of our group members quit in the middle as they were delayed significantly.

Great course with nice layout

Great experience playing Falconhead for the first time today. Good conditions and nice layout. Course can be narrow at times and greens were rolling pretty quick, I found it to be a good challenge. Pace of play was excellent (played on a Monday).
