Sonesta Bee Cave
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.Facts

nice course unfriendly staff
Put into a foursome and warned about pace of play after the first shot.
A cart in front of our group died and the staff drive back and forth durring our time on the hole and did not offer to wait till we played.
Marshall continued to go by even though we had a good pace and no one behind us.
Frustrated the group and really wasn't justified.
Train your marshalls
The course is generally great. I used to be a member but have moved. The day we played it was raining off and on all day, but still enjoyable.
The only problem all day was the marshalls. We tee'd off at 1:30 so we knew that we would have to have a good pace to beat darkness. There were a couple of groups of drunken "frat boys" in front of us who ended up playing together. Finally, in an effort to finish, we passed them on 14. There were 5 carts there, with one of them being a marshall, chatting away with them.
I've always thought that marshalls were there to prevent this from happening.
The good news is, we skipped two holes and were able to finish.
Tight Greens
Well managed and Maintained course - Fairways in great shape - greens small and in good condition - Pay attention to the wind
top notch track
I've played Falconhead countless times. Rarely disappoints. Fairways were lovely. Greens smooth and rolling 10.5.

Falconhead
Nice course in good shape (especially for this time of year). Not crowded on a Sunday afternoon. Pace of play was great, no waiting. Friendly clubhouse staff and starter. Paired with a friendly group and had a nice outing!

Challenging, but fun course
Enjoyed the round, despite my inconsistent play. Long course, with several challenging holes. Disappointed in the condition of the green on #8, the signature hole.

Nice course
My 15 year old son and I played on a Friday morning. The course had aerated greens, but still were in good shape. The starter let us know about the aeration before we started our round and gave us some tips on the course. I will definitely come back to play again.

one of the best in austin
hadn't been out to falconhead in over a year, but it remains one of the best courses in austin. very tough layout, but rewarding and fair. there are many tough holes (2, 4, 15, 18), but some really fun not so hard ones too (7, 9, 14).
it's a little dry out there, but that's to be expected this time of year. greens are in nice shape and rolling well, but are pretty hard, so allow for your approach shots and chips to roll out a little more than you're used to.
this course is a must play!

Pray you're not behind a slow group out here
Overall course conditions were honestly pretty good. Practice facility is very nice and putting green is large enough to handle many golfers. I have no complaints about the course at all.
My biggest complaint and the reason we quit after 15.holes was due to the incredibly slow pace of play. Since the start of the round we had to wait on every tee shot and approach. The Marshall was very nice and explained that the first 3 holes were very tough which is why the pace was so slow. I wish I could've believed that. There was a group of 4 gentlemen in their 30's that were holding up a three some in front of us, our own group and 2 three somes behind us. The marshall came by a few times to tell us he was doing his best to push that group, he even mentioned that he forced them to skip 10 altogether. At the end of the day we had clocked in 15 holes in about 5 hours and still had a good hour to go. In cases such as these, why not have the pro or someone with power handle this. It got to the point that the 2 three somes behind us became a six-some.
Again my only beef was the terrible pace that I experienced. Will not go back simply because the course marshall wasn't able to handle the situation.
Thank you so much for your feedback! We greatly appreciate any and all feedback. I apologize for the pace of play on the day that you had played. We hope that you will give us another try. Be sure to like us on Facebook for special online offers! Again thank you for the feedback.
Swing good and play smart
Practice good risk/reward skills and stay in the fairway. Undulating greens and challenging slopes make putting the game.

Its a course for intermediate to advanced skill lvl golfers
Its an awesome course with long narrow fairways, alot of dogleg holes and the greens are not flat but atleast they are big enough to play different shots.

Par three
Has one of the best looking par threes I have played. The greens were not as good as before they had been punched with the big holes an was really hard to play.

PGA difficulty but scoreable
Pace of play was very slow - took an hour to play the first three. On #3 the group in front of us took a solid 40 minutes on the hole. Drizzled from 11 - 18. Incredible facility, staff could not be any better. Best greens I have played.
Thank you very much for the feedback. We apologize for the pace of play, we will make sure to have marshals come around more often. Again, thank you for the feedback and we hope to see you again soon!
Wet round at Falconhead
Great interesting layout. Lots of testing lies and shots. Rewards good golf... In good condition for the most part after the torrents of rain the course has taken (few washed out bunkers and trees down). Range was closed. Not quite 5 stars but still one of the better courses in Austin. $75 is at the top end of what I would pay for this course. Other courses of similar quality can be had for less.
Thank you so much for the feedback, it's greatly appreciated! We are glad you enjoyed your experience with us and look forward to seeing you again soon. Again, thank you for the feedback!
Thank you for taking the time to review our course. We are glad you you like our course and we apologize for the experience you had with our staff. I want to ensure you we have the marshalls going by on the course to ensure pace of play and etiquette. We hope that you will come see us again. Thank you for taking the time to review the course, we appreciate any and all feedback.
