Sonesta Bee Cave

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.

I played the course on a Thursday in the afternoon. I did not finish because the pace was slow and would have been a 5 hour round. Marshalls came by but an attempt to speed this up was not on their agenda. The course condition was fair, grass was coming up, greens fast bit some of the bunkers were like gravel..

My first time at Falconhead and I enjoyed it very much. Lots of elevated tees, this course is an upper tier Hill Country gem.

Playing from the tips was a bit exhaustion for my, especially with the wind in your face. #13 can be a challenging carry with the wind.

Greens were soft and fast...almost felt like bent.

Good course layout and well designed. Originally a PGA Series course so it very challenging. The staff were also friendly. Cons: Too long of a wait and not worth the money. Range not included and than we were told we couldn't finish the round because the carts had to be in by 6:40 for insurance. Twilight fee is too high. Grass is brown and no winter rye plated. Driving range tee box only has ten hitting areas and 10 range buckets.

Course was ok. For the price I would choose other courses first.

This is not a course that has forgiveness in it. One errant shot can add many strokes on several holes. Bunker placement almost seems sadistic at times. Overall a very good course, there were a couple of holes under repair, but the repairs didn't come into play for us. I would play here again.

Was told the course is in "great condition". The course was in terrible condition and it nearly cost 100 dollars. One of my favorite tracks in ATX.... Very disappointed!

Falconhead is challenging but fun. The day we played the greens were extremely fast, rolling at about an 11 according to the pro shop. Fairways were dried out but greens were good. Well worth the drive from Northwest Austin.

I played a threesome with a fivesome ahead on a weekday. We felt pushed all day with the marshal asking us to speed up play. Apparently he never saw us waiting on the group ahead on at least half the holes. The group behind us kept hitting into us, so we really never got to enjoy a "relaxing" pace. Not sure if Falconhead always books tee times so close, but if so, I'd play somewhere else. Course is very challenging and I'd still like to play it again to improve the score, but for the money, I enjoy Crystal Falls much more.

You got what you paid for, this course is definitely not lost to any high end resort course. Hole 8 is absolutely one of my favorite hole ever played in my life. As an avid golf, it would be a shame if you never play this course. PGA staff Steve is super friendly and helpful.

The course was very challenging especallly from the back tees. Undulating terrain made for intersting shots and the greens were difficult to read because of the course undulations. very enjoyable.

It's a tough course, especially from the tips. There are a lot of elevation changes and nice views. The greens were great. Very fast, especially on downhill/down grain putts. They are difficult to read, with some greens breaking from front to back. This also makes it hard for Joe "DT SoLo" to hold the green. There is a "valley effect", which may take some repeated playings to figure out. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and I'm usually pretty tough on golf course staffs. Everyone was very calm. There were plenty of rangers around, but they didn't harass us. Pace of play is going to be a bit slow, when you have steep green fronts that send the ball back to you, and other short game challenges. It was a great day overall.

The course was in pretty good shape and I was happy with the conditions of the fairways. There was a tournament the day I played and I think they had the greens cut down for that event because they were really fast. The layout of the course was great each hole presented new challenges. I was fortunate enough to avoid the bunkers, but they looked as if they were well maintained. Some of the bunkers were unique shapes that I've never seen before: long, skinny rectangles. I think they would have been a challenge if you're unfortunate enough to find your ball there. I will definitely go back and try the course again!

Tough course as I shot 85 from blue tees with a 12 handicap. Better have your A game in shape to play this challenging course.

Golf in the Austin area seems to be a little pricey. Falconhead is a little overpriced in my opinion but not terribly overpriced. Range was off mats which they did not tell us. Overall a little high but worth playing once. Have played others in the area that are better value.

Great Course, we played it after Austin's 12" of rain so it played longer than it should. Nice view and lots of Wildlife.

Couse was in very good condition. Fairways were better than some greens I have played. Greens were fast and consistant.
First, but not last time playing the course. Staff was very friendly.

Very friendly staff and the course maintained in great shape as usual.

Even after a summer of very little rain, Falconhead looked very good, not to mention the slippery (in a good way) greens. I got a "hot deal" for $24 but after playing would pay upwards of $40 for a round. I will definitely be back and am contemplating joining. Highly recommended.

Its always nice to play a course that is so well maintained. Only wish I could afford to play it more often!
