Sonesta Bee Cave

I had a foursome tee time for Friday April 28th at 3 PM. I was called on Wednesday by Gary Goodpaster from Falconhead and was told they could not honor that tee time, although I had booked it 2 days prior, and that I would have to change it. The only other times he offered would not work for my group (and he only offered a couple other options). He then preceded to ask if they could help accommodate in getting a tee time somewhere else in town since it was such last minute notice. I said sure, Wolfdancer was our other option when we decided to go with Falconhead. He said he would call over there and talk to their team and would call me back. HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. I took the liberty to call because I knew it seemed shady and Wolfdancer was able to squeeze us in at 3:30 PM on Friday.

All in all, I would expect much more from this class of golf course. Scheduling erros and horrible customer service. Beware if you book here, you may get called the day before and then be left with no where to play in town.

*I have played here before and found the staff to be equally as unfriendly on that visit as well.

I was incredibly disappointed at the horrible conditions of the greens, and many of the tees. For their price point, I expected at least smooth putting surfaces but found only a couple of greens that were decent. Several areas on greens were roped off due to problems areas, greens were generally bumpy with tons of unrepaired ball marks, and the collars around the greens were awful. This is not a well maintained course that should be charging $80 per round - save your money in my opinion.

I am impressed with this course every time I play it. Falconhead takes the extra measures I'm keeping up with the maintenance of the golf course. The layout is phenomenal. I would definitely recommend anyone playing this course at any time of the year.

For some reason the employees at this course seem to think they are running one of the many private courses surrounding them. THIS IS A PUBLIC COURSE.....snobby, greater than thou treatment is expected, even relished when you have an opportunity to play with the CEOs and RVPs of some of Austin's finest private courses. However, Falconhead is living a delusional fantasy. Please treat your guest with a little more respect. Just because you are situated in Lakeway, doesn't mean you have treat golfers visiting from other parts of the city with disdain and disrespect. Just a suggestion from a golfer that had no clue a 'Hot deal' was going to turn outt to be a HOT MESS. Thank you for you attention to this matter.

The course was beautiful and in great condition. The staff was helpful. My only surprise was the length of the par 4s.

This course is incredible. The layout and elevation is awesome. Absolutely love this course.

Overall I really like playing Falconhead. My only complaint was the greens seemed to be muddier than normal and there were a ton of marks on the greens where the ball would not run true. Missed a couple of easy puts because my ball hit a pot mark.

Overall good experience. Would have expected someone at bag drop and someone available to wipe clubs off after round for $ paid . Greens had good speed but some were not in great shape from grass perspective. Fairways and traps were in good shape . Nice layout with lots of good design features. Friendly just maybe a little shorthanded during the week. Pace of play was good , under 4 hours .

A fivesome was in from of us on the front nine so it was slow. On the back nine, another player joined that group so they played 6 players in a group. No marshal out there on a friday afternoon.......

It took us 5 hrs and 20 min to play - ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!!

We played with a couple locals and they had never seen the greens so fast, hard to stick and MANY three putts. Other than that, the course was in good shape and a lot of fun. Friendly staff and players

Could not have been better

Wothevery penny and I will be back

Late summer and the course was in fantastic shape all around. We'd actually had lots of rain in the weeks prior, but it had drained really well and was definitely ready to play. There's just such nice scenery on some holes; very picturesque with the rolling hill country in the background.

I will say that some 4-par holes really could be 4-1/2. They just require a longer tee shot (in the fairway) followed by another long shot which is usually to an elevated green; this adds to the level of difficulty. The Bermuda rough (esp around the greens) was deep on this day. It was well maintained but made it especially challenging to locate balls. It was also (obviously) hard to hit out of and really raised the bar on the level of difficulty while also increasing the shots on our respective scorecards.

Nice course with a good layout. Pretty wide open with the exception of a few challenging holes. Super slick "winter" greens that we're not respected by a large number of players who refuse to fix their ballmarks. Typical for a course open to the public and no fault of the staff. The 15 - 20 mph winds brought a whole different degree of difficulty but for the most part a fun course. We look forward to playing here again. One stupid mistake I made was using my PW backwards as to address my ball lefthanded because of an unfortunate lie and as a result nicked the rear of the club due to some hidden rocks. And we were only playing for drinks, idiot. So be aware of rocks.

Nice course and layout. I would have like to see the greens in a little better condition though they rolled true.
