Sonesta Bee Cave

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.

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.

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.,

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.

Pace of play was slow, Marshall helped some with moving folks ahead that were causing backup. Greens were a bit rough…not in the best shape. Course was nice enough.

Our tee time was 1:45 but course was backed up so could not tee off until ~2:20. Only got 13 holes in .

Course in great shape … played 18 holes in under 3.5 hrs. (With an 8 am tee time) …. Had a great time … can’t wait to ply again !

Course is in great shape

Greens could be faster

Pace of play was terrible. 5 1/2 hours

I normally love this course, but this time was a disaster. We had a tee time of 1:09 and a pace card in the cart . At 1:09 I was waiting at the first tee whilst the group before me teed off. By half way we were 40 minutes behind schedule. Despite the Marshall passing us twice there was no action or explanation. We had to leave before completing our round. I was disgusted to see a two ball yet to tee off at another hole when the group in front of them was on the green…

My tip…. Don’t play on a Friday at this course

I last played here a couple years ago and was painfully slow round (5.5 hours). Gave it another try and was that a mistake. 3 groups on first tee, started 15 minutes late and 3 hour front nine. Teed off with about 5 hours of daylight and quit after 12 holes as there was no chance to finish all 18. I won’t make the mistake of playing at the slowest course in Austin again (Avery Ranch in the running as well).

That’s why I love playing golf in Texas. Hills and canyons.
