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.

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.

Nice Course but Extremely Slow

It was a great course to play and the conditions were good, but unfortunately the pace of play was extremely slow. There was no Marshall on the course to monitor the pace of play which was frustrating as there was an 8-some playing three groups ahead of us. We were over 5 hours by the time we got to the 18th hole which at that time it was too dark to finish. It’s too bad that this was my first experience to golfing in the Austin area.

STAY AWAY

I wouldn't take my dog here. Absolutely criminal to charge $175.00 to play here. I would not go back for free! Golfnow please remove this place from your offerings.

Good course, greens soft and fairways hard, but pace of play sucked

Liked the course layout and green topology, but not worth $145 for the round. Pace of play sucked, 5.5 hrs but no course Marshall doing anything. Better courses for $145

Overall good

Pace of play was good - a four hour round on a Wednesday. Course conditions were good. Greens are very large and almost excessively undulated, and the flags were placed in what seemed like a H.S. or college tournament locations; further, they seemed to roll too slow. Some bunkers had good sand, others had what seemed like partial or complete packed dirt. Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape, although there were several “under repair” staked-off areas on some fairways. The pro shop staff stated that they had never seen a golfer be able to purchase a bucket of balls on the GolfNow site, and were reluctant to honor it; they asked if I had a receipt and honored it after I found it on the GolfNow site. Overall, a good experience.

Played a 2:24pm tee time. Pace of play on the front 9 was about 3 hours with foursomes stacked on top of each other. Difficult to justify paying a full weekend rate with the course playing that slowly.

Do Better

Have played this course regularly since 2007. My last experience (Dec 8th) was bad. Rained a ton before my round so I tried to cancel (or at least get a raincheck). It was within 24 hours of my tee time. Pro shop wouldn’t do either. Conditions were miserable. Flooded bunkers and fairways. I understand the cancellation policy, but when it comes to bad weather, you have to be more flexible. Not everyone wants to play in sopping wet conditions.

Between this and stacking tee times every 9 minutes apart, Falconhead seems to care little about the customer experience. It’s all about milking every dollar they can. Didn’t used to be this way.
