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.

New staff member is not a Golfnow fan

Apparently a new staff member (Rex) isn't a fan of Golfnow customers. We are apparently second rate citizens.

Great Golf Course

Booked online and the pro shop had the reservation but the starter didn't. This is the second time that the starter was unaware of my tee time. Some kind of problem syncing with the pro shop.
Beverage gal stopped by at no. 13 but was out of my beer. Said she would meet me at the next hole and have it. Never showed up.

First Time At Falcon Head

This is was nice course and worth the price from GN. The course has a lot of elevation change and with the wind, can make quite a few holes challenging. If you do not hit your wedges accurately, you will find yourself in a lot of trouble. Up and Downs will be few and far between.

Nice layout

Falconhead has a good layout with some challenging holes, and yet very playable and fun. Course was in good shape , greens were a little grainy. Enjoyed our round.

Wonderful, beautiful course

This was my first time at Falconhead, and it's a much more beautiful and well kept course than what I usually play (munis and Grey Rock). The fairways were phenomenal and the greens somewhat soft for Texas and moderately fast. I'll definitely be coming back when I can snag hot deals on Golf Now. Regular price is a bit steep, but you get what you pay for.

Fair and Challenging

Falconhead is a good test of any golfer's skills no matter what level their game is at. The course always seems to be good shape as well as the greens. The driving range is a bit small, especially having to hit off of mats which is no favorite of mine. However, the practice putting green and chipping area are significantly larger.

Fun

The course is in good shape and very fun to play. The greens had recently been punched so they were understandably poor. The sand in the traps is beautiful to play out of. Good course.

Great course

This is a great course and the layout is challenging. The greens had just been aerated so I was a little disappointed that there wasn't notification regarding the greens, even with the greens being aerated they rolled nice they will be very challenging in a few weeks. The entire facility was terrific I will definitely make the hour drive on a regular basis.

Spectacular

It was another course I have played since consulting here in Austin. This was a great course and loved the layout. Very windy day but not the courses fault and really enjoyed the signature hole (#8) although I did not play it well. very pretty hole layout.

Windy and beautiful

First time out here. Wind was gusting which added to the challenge, but elevations changes and views of the hill country made it worth it. Was behind a very slow group which made for a longer round. The Marshall checked multiple times but never put them on the clock. I asked to play through them (we only had two on the back 9) and was declined by the group. No reflections on the course though - great golf course!

Pace of Play Too Slow

We played late Monday afternoon. The front nine went well, but it seems like the marshals don't pay much attention to the pace of play. I recognize that sometimes golf is just slow, but the consistent presence of a Marshal could help identify and speed up slow groups.

Falconhead in the beautiful Austin hill country!

Falconhead was a super nice course to experience. The staff and service was excellent, very friendly! The course itself is in very nice shape. The greens were receptive and rolled smooth. The fairways were nicely manicured and kept clean. Avoid the bunkers... Some of them are quite challenging to attempt especially around the greens. Many of them are Guitar shaped... Since Austin is the Live music capital of the world! :)

Friendly Staff/Great Course

We played on Easter weekend so we expected it to be crowded. We were paired up with another gentleman and played as a threesome. We had very little wait and the marshal did a great job of trying to keep things moving on a challenging day. The staff was very friendly and we really felt welcome. This is a challenging, but fun course and we had a great time. The only thing that I can see concerning the condition of the course is that some of the greens had some rough spots on them, but I understand the challenges of keeping up greens. Thanks for the wonderful time and thanks to our golfing partner Tut for a great day!

Decent

Decent course however for the high cost of playing 18 holes I would of thought the greens and fairways would be in better condition.

Is currently under lots of needed repair

I was kind of disappointed to not be told that lots of their greens had huge chunks missing/under construction. Same with multiple bunkers. They were emptied out and had no sand. The ones that did have new sand were great. I would have not drove out there to play a course under so much work. I also remembered the greens being much faster and rolling true. It was definitely not the worse course in town but definitely not up to the standards that I am used to in the past from this course.
