Falconhead: The Essence of Fine Living
Exploring Falconhead, a popular master-planned community in Southwest Austin, involves more than taking a tour of majestic homes or playing 18 holes on the award-winning golf course. In addition to easy access to Lake Travis, Falconhead West Park is just a leisurely walk away from most homes in the neighborhood. The city park has over three miles of hike-and-bike trails, allowing for two of Austin’s most popular activities.
“All I had to see was this charming park’s great facilities, and with Lake Travis just minutes away, I was sold,” says Barney Giocob, a Falconhead homeowner and avid biker. “The homes are custom-built where I live, and the privacy is something I truly treasure. We like to take our boat out on weekends, and we enjoy fishing. Everything I could want in a neighborhood is right here with class and the style of living I desire, including golf.”

Enjoy a Round at One of Austin’s Top Five Golf Courses
For many, the Falconhead Golf Course is the main attraction. Designed by experts at the PGA Tour Design Center and recently recognized as one of Austin’s “Top Five Golf Courses” by Avid Golfer magazine, Falconhead Golf Course is a public, daily fee course that offers golfers of all ages and abilities the opportunity to experience a tournament-level course.
Considered one of the most beautiful courses in the Central Texas region, with spectacular views of the Texas Hill Country, meandering creeks and streams and exquisite landscaping, Falconhead offers leagues for men, women, seniors and school-aged children. Tournaments and events are planned throughout the year.
“I love to play, and having the golf course a few steps away from my front door makes everything so easy,” says Pam Kirscher, a Falconhead homeowner who has lived in the neighborhood for the past five years. “When my children and grandchildren come to visit, we start the day off with a game of golf. It’s wonderful to go back home and take a refreshing swim in the beautiful neighborhood pool. Quite often, we lounge at the pool for hours and then go out to dinner at the Hill Country Galleria. It is an ideal place to live and be active on both the land and the water. I am so happy I moved here to be closer to my family, and that I can share all of this beauty with them on a daily basis. I couldn’t ask for more.”
The Broad Appeal of Luxury Living
Enjoying a round of golf or watching the boats on Lake Travis smoothly sail by in the background is relaxing and, at the same time, enticing. Living in Falconhead is about more than just owning a home. It is all about the community and the lifestyle. The combination of beautiful homes, abundant recreation, great schools and the lowest property taxes in Travis County give Falconhead a broad appeal.
“All types of people enjoy our homes at The Grove at Falconhead,” says Matt McCormack, Ash Creek Homes project manager in The Grove at Falconhead. “Some tend to be downsizing and prefer a low-maintenance home. However, because our homes are favorably placed within Lake Travis ISD, our community is also very appealing to families with children. The biggest commonality among our residents is that they are ready for low-maintenance living, without giving up luxury finishes.”
