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

Austin's Best kept secret
The course was great. Greens were fast and true. Fairways were outstanding. Best thing is the staff. Starter was friendly
And informative. Cashier was pleasant and nice. She was fantastic. The best is one Marshall 'Dave'. He went above and beyond. He is the kindest person who enjoys his job. I shot a 79 and would play the course again but because of Dave I will play the course evertime I'm in Austin
Falconhead is one of my favorite courses in Austin. Fantastic condition, great layout, beautiful. A little steep price point is the only worry, but you get what you pay for.
Great track!!
Really impressed with the overall quality of the course. The greens have been recently aerated but were in excellent condition. The fairways and roughs were well manicured as were the bunkers. Definitely well worth the price. Played in 3.5 hours which is the only way to play. Will definitely recommend this course to everyone and will be back!
Beautiful, Moderately Difficult Course
This course was in excellent shape. It has beautiful fairways and greens. There is difficulty if you do not stay in the fairways.
Good overall course
Course was in good shape. It had a lot of elevation changes and turns that made you play to certain spots on the course. I did play it in the afternoon and at times had to wait on a couple groups in front me as I was playing as a single. The course wasn't too crowded since it's a semi private that costs more than most others in the area which made it nice not playing an over crowded course. Will play again
Thank you u000008162520 for the five star review from your recent visit with Falconhead! We are pleased to hear the course met your expectations. Hope to see you again!
Gotta Go
You have to try it for sure! Layout was amazing and the fairways and greens were close to immaculate especially considering the brutal hot summer. Can't wait to go back!
Thank you Mturner71 for the five star review! We are glad your expectations were met regarding course condition. See you again soon!
Thank you andy23566 for the five star rating!

Thank you jrlosch for the five star review! We are pleased to hear you had a great time at Falconhead. See you again at the course when you visit Austin again!
Falconhead a solid golf course thats no easy test!
Falconhead is part of the many great public golf courses in the great city of Austin. The practice area is extensive and despite the "irons only" on the range, there are plenty of ways to hide your game prior to your round. The course is a fun layout with what seems like so many options to play each and every hole. The short par-4 7th is so fun, and the signature par-3 8th that sits on a rock ledge is beautiful. The greens rolled fast and true all weekend but can be tricky to read where the break is.
The only negative was the clubhouse which is one small room that is both the pro shop and bar/kitchen/hangout area. But it didn't take away from our experience at all.
Thank you zbuechner4 for the great four star review regarding your recent visit to Falconhead! We are pleased to hear the course treated you well and was a fun challenge. Hope you can tee off with us again in the future.
Falconhead
Course is in great shape at the moment, except for the skunk that let loose between #2 & #3 was a great round
Thank you ksticktx for the four star review! We hope the skunk didn't scare you away from visiting us in the future.
Friendliest Marshalls in Count
Marshalls were great. Offering advice, accommodating, addressing players questions/needs etc... Course in great shape. Pace of play perfect.
Thank you schneiderjrs for the five star review! We are pleased to hear you had a great experience at your recent visit to Falconhead. Come back and hit the greens with us again soon!

Not what I expected for the pay
Everything was great until me and my playing partner reached the first green. We paid something around 180 bucks for a two man and expected better playing conditions. They fertilized the greens right before we teed off at 7:30 and gave us no discount despite there being loads of fertilizer all over the greens, kind of like someone dumping sand all over. The course was beautiful, everyone in the shop was helpful and friendly, and I loved the layout. A lot of elevated greens and the par three 8th is a must see, beautiful green hanging over a pond. Great course overall, but the conditions weren't as expected and we paid full price despite having the fertilizer or It would have been 5 stars.
Awful pace of play, mediocre greens
First the good- the staff was friendly and helpful. The layout is interesting with lots of elevation changes. The wind makes the course challenging to play since it every shot is affected. Some traps had good sand, some traps had little sand.
The bad- 5 hour pace of play in the morning on a weekend. Rangers said they were talking with the slow group holding up play but nothing happened. The greens were slow and bumpy. Not what you would expect when paying $89 a round. More like what you would expect at a $35 municipal course. Also, the signature "Guitar shaped" sand traps are rinky dink. The guitar stem traps have different sand than the regular traps and lead to very long bunker shots.
Thank you Beverly1938221 for the five star review! We are happy to hear the course met your expectations and you had a great time. See you again soon!
