Sonesta Bee Cave

Course is under new management that has little concern for members. They are making many changes to the course...narrowing fairways, letting the rough grow higher, over watering fairways (their contract with the water district requires that they pump a minimum of grey water each day), etc. The rough is so deep that it is difficult to find your ball even if only one yard off the fairway, greatly slowing play. Even when it hasn't been raining, they overwater several fairways and many areas are soggy. Prior management watered in waste areas rather than the fairways. Because of the wet/soft fairways, your drives no longer run out...it is as if you are hitting a wedge with every shot as your drive frequently stops only 5 feet beyond it's landing spot. If you are not a low single digit handicap player, the course is no longer fun. Most golfers will struggle on this course the way it is now formatted. Monthly membership dues were more than doubled, some increased as much as 250%. Membership is no longer a good value.

Falconhead is always a solid experience. The staff is always welcoming, starters know what they are doing and the beverage cart is around often enough.

Today’s round could have been better and here’s how.

The pin placement on the starter station said 2, it was 3 (easy enough to figure out); we were told scatter, front nine was posted as 90 and the back at cart path only, we made decisions by hole. The greens were punched and we didn’t know in advance. Great track and not my first time there, I’ll be back but hoping for some upside

I think,This place is one of nicest place to play for public course .

Solid track with impeccable fast greens, mostly solid tee boxes and fairways with little run. For all the long up hill par fours, the next was a short par four. Play with strategy and you’ll play well. Play without and the course will win. Greens run true, faster than most but watch the hole...it’s easy to lip out. Enjoy the 8th hole. Probably the best par 3 in all of the Austin area.

Greens were perfect. Course and Staff were excellent.

Got off early from work and wanted to get out for a quick round. The round took a little over 3 hrs, course in great condition.....just an enjoyable round. It helps that I was playing well but this is certainly a challenging course from any tee.

Views were very scenic. Course conditions were fantastic. Would definitely play again.

I love Falconhead. Just was a challenge because the greens were aerated and pave was crawling.

This course is top notch challenging for any golfer. The greens are smooth and roll fair and when I played it was windy witch made it a little more interesting. The signature par 3 is beautiful as is the whole experience.

Played Falconhead this past weekend. The condition of the course was excellent - greens, fairways, and traps. The overall pace of play was a bit slow taking over 4.5 hours to complete the round. The wind was also a big factor making the course play quite long into the wind. There were a number of the par 4's that required a driver and long iron or rescue club to reach even after a good dirve. Would certainly go again!

One of the better courses I’ve played in a while. Everything on the course was in near perfect condition. The greens were flawless. Number 7 is one of the prettiest holes around. A great day!

I had a great round.while I was waiting to play a couple of men walked by and one comment was,I didn't think they let women play here.the response was,well I guess it's ok.this did not make me feel welcomed

When I finished my round I went to turn my score in and I was told I had no score because I had cheated.that did not seem real fair as I did have questions during the round and did as I was directed

I will be back and would hope when I ask for rule help I will be given the correct rule to follow.

I had a great round and had a great team.nect time I intend to do better and follow the correct rules of play

This is an outstanding course, and is in great shape. Fairways are the best I’ve seen in a long time.

The staff on and off the course were great as well.

I will definitely be back for another round, no matter how hot it gets!

Falconhead is always in good shape from tee to green. The pace of play is enforced, and results in a very pleasurable experience. Friendly staff. However, the green fees have gotten out of hand., so that means I will play there about twice a year.
