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.

All A+ except friendliness of staff- yikes!

We arrived 10 minutes before our teatime and spent that in the clubhouse waiting for someone to help us. We were at the golf cart pick up area at our teatime and we were disciplined by the employee. She couldn’t have been less friendly. I require no communication in general, but Being greeted with “2:06? You’re late.” No small talk is needed really but when we waited 10 minutes just to check in, and there was literally no one else standing in front of her, felt unnecessary and frankly if it wasn’t a Monday and my husband’s birthday, I would have been content to ask for a refund and just go home.

Course was beautiful, as usual and well-maintained. Other players were all relatively cordial and kept the pace of moving a little too quick for my taste, but we had no problems and really enjoyed ourselves. Well, only be back when the price is right otherwise we will stick to Lions where everyone is having fun and the staff is consistently friendly!

Nice Course but Slow Pace

This was my first time playing and the course is tricky but lots of fun. Overall conditions were solid and overall a much higher level quality course than I expected. If going on a weekend expect a 5 hour range duration as they pack in golfers. I woul return but during the week.

Great shape

Played here a few times. I live in New Braunfels so it’s a bit of a drive. One of the best courses around Austin. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Greens and fairways were excellent although my play didn’t reflect it. I highly

Recommend this course!

Great Course and Great price while using GolfNow App

Falconhead was in excellent condition. My tee time was at 2:24 PM, and I was paired with other people. Overall, the pace of play was good, and the course was in great shape.

Great shape especially in summer

Nice course in great shape. Hilly and tricky but due to the unusual summer rains and weather, the course was cart path only so it added a bit of and extra challenge.

Exactly what I was looking for in a golf course!

Okay, so I looked up best golf courses to play in Austin as I am from NJ, and the first course I played which was recommended by the pga site was ShadowGlen... don't waste your time with that course and just come here. This course is an actual legit golf course with fun hole after fun hole. Love all the elevated tee boxes to hit off of. This course actually allows you to lock in and hit fun difficult shots. It rained on the back nine, but didn't matter cause I was killing it. Shot an 87. Fantastic course 10/10. Definitely golf here

Excellent Layout

Greens are medium fast but bumpy. Challenging for speed and holding line.

The course showed some normal wear from the heat and a lot of play.

Our tee time was 4 PM. Cart beer was nonexistent but the snack bar provided well.

Overall EXCELLENT golf course for $50 each.

Beautiful course, maintained well, pace of play a little slow. One of the best courses I’ve played in the area. Will go back for sure, but maybe during the week for cheaper prices

Course review

4th or 5th time to play here. Like the layout and variety of holes; elevation changes (for TX); pace of play for a Sunday afternoon wasn't bad - moved along. Looks like greens just aerated so not the best but that happens. Tee boxes need some help but fairways in good shape. once greens are recovered will be much better

Best condition in Austin right now

Somewhat tricky course. Fantastic condition. Pace of play was pretty slow until the group in front let us play through. Smooth sailing after that. Some cool hole layouts. Greens were in great shape, but smaller than I was used to. Loved the course, I’ll be back. Hole 9 needs a net on the right side, if you drive the fairway, you’ll struggle to find your ball amongst errant range balls.

Pace of play terrible

Course was in good condition. Couple greens had been cored and sand-covered, but overall rest of the course and greens played well.

The pace of play was terrible, we averaged over 20min per hole for an afternoon round, often waiting on the tee boxes for 10+ minutes or being backed up behind other groups on tee boxes. Super frustrating,

Save your time

Today was a 5 1/2 hour round. Last time was a 4 1/2 hour round. Time before that I gave up 4 hours and 14 holes in. Course was in great condition besides 2 and 3 greens. No marshaling and tee times 9 minutes apart. I will not be returning anytime soon.
