Sonesta Bee Cave

About Sonesta Bee Cave
The Sonesta Bee Cave is located 20 minutes west off Austin off Highway 71 in the Hill Country Galleria, home to a collection of shops, bars and restaurants. There is no golf course onsite but there is shuttle service to the nearby Lakeway golf courses, including public Falconhead Golf Club, and the hotel does have some limited access to the private courses at the Clubs of Lakeway. The Sonesta Bee Cave features a large, outdoor courtyard pool, 10,000 square feet of meeting space and a 5,300 square foot ballroom. Lake Travis is minutes away where a marina can be accessed, and world-famous Hamilton Pool is also a short drive away. A highlight of the Sonesta Bee Cave is not only the galleria shops and restaurants but the hotel's own rooftop Meridian 98, which features cocktails and specialty plates in a lively setting that hosts live music.Facts

Beautiful course
I definitely was challenged and enjoyed the clever design. First time playing it with my son. Had a blast.
Greens are punched and sanded
They need to to inform people when this is happening. It was auto 2 Putt today. No chance of getting the ball in the hole. This is one of my favorite courses in Austin. But when the greens are punched. Seems like the grounds crew did a lazy job with it.
Goat trap
This place is not the place you want to go. Course is in bad shape. Massively out of date. Pro shop/bar area looks a cafeteria style from 1985. The course had maintenance going on all over. Not upgrading type of maintenance. Keep the lights on maintenance. We arrived at hole 12. They were literally mowing the fairway at 11am. And he didn't stop. The last five holes were punched and sanded. No one said a thing. We had to skip them. The sand and clumps of grass made it impossible to putt. No money off - nothing said. We arrived at hole 17. Marshall comes up to us and tells us we're two minutes, slow. We've been pacing two groups in front of us. They were slow. Some inexperienced golfers amongst them. No biggie. We tee'd off. We get to fairway and go to hit second shot and look up and the Marshall is walking across Green to scrounge balls in the bushes. This after being a accosted for slow play. The course was $100 to play. Not worth more than $36. Just let the goats and cows at it. Course is not well maintained. Go play "the star" In Hutto. It's in amazing shape!
What happened to Falconhead
Overpriced at $83 before tax, $27 for a large bucket of balls, bottled water expensive, no towels, no water in ball washers, greens in poor shape, many barren spots on course especially around cart paths and tee boxes. Need I saw more…
Great course & very friendly service
Great course , service with state of are driving range
Goat trap golf
This course has issues. The course has people working all over it. You'd approach a hole and guys are mowing thr fairway. They don't move. You'll play second shot with them mowing. The greens were punched and sanded on last five holes. No one says a thing. Couldnt putt or play the greens. Pick your ball up and move on. It was $100 for a round. Way way over priced. Rental clubs are $100 bucks. And they're trash clubs. The putter was bent. The drivers were beat to heck. Go to star ranch. Only $82. This is a buyer beware issue. The best part was on hole 17 when the Marshall drove in front of us on fairway. Went up to the green and was looking for golf balls in surrounding area. Then said. I misunderstood the situation when confronted. Just stay away until new owners take over or buy a lot when it's closes
Just too expensive
Falconhead is just fine, it’s just always priced about 40% more than it should be. There are no other public courses within about 30 minutes, so they know they can charge what they want to.
Honestly, save your money and drive to Clay/Kizer
Need to enforce pace of play..
Played as a twosome with my son. Played the white tees to keep things moving. Group in front of us was a foursome with a small child (total of 5) playing multiple tee boxes. Wouldn't let us play through and course Marshall would not enforce the pace of play. Paid for 18 holes but only played 10 in 3 hours.
First time
The course was very nice. The practice facilities were top notch. Course is challenging with a solid layout. Long drive to get to the course. Bunkers needs some love but fairways and greens are in good condition.
Very cool course
Very cool course. Beautiful views and well kept. Friendly staff. The only feedback is that the facilities could be improved.
First group out-forgot my ranger on the cart but 2 days later can’t find it?
First group out on a cart path only day. Got bitched out by maintenance for parking on the grass next to the path. Finished pretty quick for CPO: 3:40 and left my range finder on the only cart by the barn. Go to play 2 days later and see my finder isn’t in my bag. Call the Pro Shop and “nope, haven’t seen it”!?! Other than that an okay experience.
