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.

Missing golfer

So it happens that one of our foursome was unable to make it because of family issues. So we had 3 out of 4. And yet I’m getting charged for that one spot that wasn’t filled. There is no way they could’ve filled it at the time of finding out. I believe it is super asinine that I’m being charged for that. Golf Now and Falconhead will never be recommended by me. It’s just plain ridiculous

Not Worth What They Charge

I paid around $120 to play this course based on the pictures. Granted, it was early season conditions, but a recent windstorm had laid waste to the trees on the course and they had hardly cleaned any of it up. A total mess, and affected play. Also, they had a few groups playing some mini tournament together, and long story short, the round took over 5 hours. Very frustrating to spend this kind of money to receive a subpar experience. Not a place I'll be returning to...

So so for spring golf in Texas

Course layout was pretty nice with great views, and some really cool holes. The course is taking a beating over the winter time. Fairways were pretty bare, and greens were pretty poor.

Beware Pace of Play

1:12 tee time. Didn't tee off until around 1:30. Finished at 6:30. Yes it was a Saturday afternoon but still miserable pace of play.

Pace of play is a joke

1.46 tee time and didn’t tee off until just after 2pm. 5:07 round of golf. Course Marshall’s no where to be found.

Don’t put a pace of play timesheet in the cart if you aren’t going to have a Marshall out managing pace of play and actually expect people to follow it. Waiting on every single tee/approach.

As a last issue - the starter was incredibly useless and not very friendly.

We’ll be back

The course had a lot of freeze damage they were piling up so stay straight! Back nine was cart path only which made it a hike. I felt they should have knocked some off for that

Late February Round - Course in Poor Shape

Played in late February so take this with a grain of salt but the course was in very rough shape. Fairways and greens in particular. Given the price I expected a better track.

First time at Falconhead, will be back

Greens were freshly cut and rolled true. Considering the recent ice storm damage, the course was in great shape. Check-in process was first rate, staff was friendly. The only drawback was a large bachelor party group in front of us that slowed pace down slightly. However pace was not overly slow nor did we run into any problems with them or any other groups on the course. Will definitely be back in the spring!

Great escape from the winter up north, but the course was in rough shape. Greens were super long. All, understandable for the time of year (January), but other courses around town were in better shape. Good value though.

Poor greens

By far the worst greens I have ever putted on. I put this on golf now as much as the course, they were charging full rate of $80 something and had no warning. There should be some kind of note before booking when this is the case.

The front nine greens were in really poor condition for the price of the round. Expected better given the green fees. The pace of play was good — especially appreciated for a Saturday morning.

Think they could do with a better bathroom set up but other than that was a good day on the course.

Surprised they use gas powered golf carts. Think might be better to have electric.

Stay away

I never write reviews but have to on this one. I’ve played Falconhead since it opened in 2003 and this was the worst I’ve ever seen it. The greens were absolutely awful like they hadn’t been mowed in weeks (where there was grass) while the rest of the greens were dirt. It was cart path only because they were spray painting the course green. It’s January and the grass is dormant so it’s supposed to be brown. They continue to overseed which creates two additional transition periods for the course when dormant Bermuda greens are awesome. The staff are jerks and could care less which is why a lot of members have left, including me. To top it off they charged me $93 to play on a Thursday. Actually very sad as it used to be a gem; those days are gone.,

Terrible course and service

Slow play at the course, only got through 12 holes in 4 hours. Double charged me because one person canceled. Honestly terrible customer service. I will not be back. Greens were terrible as well. Tee boxes all destroyed.
