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.

too expensive on weekends. Also, they have you sign a release at the starter for the carts. seems redundant.

Great course, terrible people/price

The course itself is great, but not worth the price and not worth the treatment (cart girls and bar staff excluded, they were awesome). Me and a buddy got paired with two older guys (those guys rocked by the way) and it was cart path only. Long story short we’re on 13 and the young Marshall came out and complained to the older gentlemen about the pace of play, mind you one of those guys is 74 and it’s cart party only, PLUS we had not seen a group in front or behind us ALL DAY and I called him out knowing something wasn’t right and our pace was good, turned out we were 15 minutes ahead of pace for the day. While being cart path only and with an older guy!!! The fact that falconhead collectively got over $450 from our foursome and then complained to us about pace of play in adverse course conditions when we were ahead? On principal I can’t recommend this course to anyone based of that experience.

Management has given up

This is the sister course for Avery Ranch and Teravista. They share one owner. They also have in common that it's obvious they're cutting costs. There hadn't been rain in several days but there was standing water all over the course. There was no consistent overseeding, which made fairways uneven. There was sand randomly placed on greens, faireways and tee boxes to obviously compensate for the moisture. There was damage to quite a few greens, which made it impossible to predict how to play from one hole to another. Small one here, but highlights the cost cutting... our cart number was written on the cart with a green sharpie. Terrible course for the cost. Probably worth $25-$35 for a mid-Monday tee time.

Greens are in check!

Course is great! Absolutely not a course for people who play slow! Slow golf if bad golf, even if you think you're actually good at golf and you play slow your not good. Golf 101 keep pace with the people in front of you! No matter your age or your skill level just play fast.

There are really great golf simulators popping up all over!! Great place for slow golfers!!

Spring day in the winter time

Great shape for just coming off of a 6 day hard freeze. Grouping was fun and pace was good for how busy it was.

management disgrace

The games the management is playing here is almost robbery. Setting cut rate 18 hole prices after 2:00 knowing there's little chance getting a round in. Why? First place didn't have enough carts to start on time. Second, the Marshalls cart was sitting at the club house and strongly needed to be out on the course doing what a Marshal is supposed to do.. Finally, there may have been a need in the morning for cart path only but there was NO golf courtesy reason to have it continue all day. I play over 150 rounds a year and assist a course grounds keeper, the course was dry enough to allow carts. The 3 people I started with quit after 9 holes due to these ridiculous management decisions.

Suggest you start running a course for the golfers rather than just your selfish self. Seriously, talk it over.

Good Challenge

Have to be good off the tee at this course, and also adds a bit off strategy when approaching most of the greens. Only a few holes are quirky, but overall good track.

Would Play Again But

Nice course, good layout except cart paths are a long way from tees and greens requiring a lot of walking even when you're playing well and hitting a lot of fairways and greens. My wife who has some minor physical limitations was not able to finish all 18 holes. The staff was wonderful. Excellent practice facilities although they are out of the way from the course. No rangers in sight. Had to wait on every shot and the round was over 4.5 hours.

Great Hidden Gem

Super great course. The conditions of each golf hole, the hospitality of the staff, and the challenge of each hole contributed to an amazing experience. Very highly recommend!

I played 3 times in Texas while on vacation and found Falconhead golf club the best of 3 golf courses.

Overpriced and beyond slow…

The staff is incredibly unfriendly, the starter in particular. He was an angry older man who seemed like he didn’t want to be there; the pace of play was atrocious, 5 1/2 hours for 18 holes—several times asked the marshal to speak to the group in front of us, who was a full hole and a half behind the group in front of them. They never did anything to encourage them to speed up. $100 around, I think not. I used to recommend this course and play it quite often.
