About Falconhead
Falconhead is a golf-course community in Bee Cave, Travis County, Texas, built around the Falconhead Golf Club in the Hill Country west of Austin. The community sits along SH-71 between Bee Cave and Lakeway, with quick access to the Hill Country Galleria, central Lakeway, and downtown Austin via SH-71 and MoPac.
Falconhead Golf Club, the community's central amenity, is a PGA Tour-designed public daily-fee course that opened in 2003. The course plays as a par 72 with approximately 7,181 yards from the back tees and is open to the public, so residency in Falconhead is not required to play. The course sits inside Hill Country terrain and provides the visual backbone for the community's street layout.
Falconhead is within the City of Bee Cave, a smaller Travis County municipality with its own city government and a generally lower municipal property-tax burden than the city of Austin. (The audit intentionally does not assign a dollar figure to that difference, because city, county, ISD, MUD, and HOA rates vary by parcel and year. Buyers should verify current combined rates at the time of purchase.)
Falconhead is zoned to Lake Travis Independent School District. The attendance assignment routes students to Bee Cave Elementary, Lake Travis Middle School, and Lake Travis High School. The correct middle school for Falconhead is Lake Travis Middle School, not Hudson Bend Middle School, which serves a different LTISD attendance area.
Daily retail, dining, and services are concentrated at the Hill Country Galleria, an open-air center in Bee Cave with grocery, national retailers, and restaurants. Baylor Scott and White Medical Center Lakeway is the nearest full-service hospital, on RM-620 in Lakeway.

Falconhead is within the City of Bee Cave, so city services (including police and parks) are provided through Bee Cave municipal government rather than Austin.
