Avery Ranch Golf Club

I had a fantastic day at Avery Ranch. The only thing I didn't like was they have mats for the ranch but the course is beautiful and the staff was very nice as well. Look forward to playing there again.

For the price it’s not worth it, granted the course itself is great minus the cheap material used for the traps. No Marshall the entire round and was waiting for an eternity for every shot. Only saw the beverage cart on the first and 4th hole and when we stopped at the turn no employee was to be found to buy a snack and drinks. Also the water coolers on back nine were empty. Overall very disappointed in what has become of this beautiful track. If they want to charge country club level pricing there should be country club amenities.

The course management was absolutely terrible! We waited an average of 10 - 15 minutes between eqxh hole to tee off. Saw the cart girl twice on the front 9 and never again on the back. Also stopped at the clubhouse on the turn, waited for 5 - 10 minutes and nobody was there to take a food or drink order. For the cost this course was not worth it. Has definitely gone down hill. There was also tons of rocks in the sand traps.

This is our first time playing this course. We loved it. It is tough for sure. We are relatively new beginners but got paired up with the best folks ever! The one complaint I have is the driving range was completely full at 7:30 AM as we tried to warm up. Seems that people just camp there and don’t play. They could also use a more water stations around the course. Love having the Marshall come around and talk about the pace of play. With a foursome, we finished in four hours and 15 minutes. Will definitely play this course again.

PS. Carry womens stuff in the pro shop! We are a driving force. ⛳️

The positives: Check-in process was friendly, informative, and quick. The starter shack staff were equally welcoming. The beverage cart came around often.

The negatives: Range. Poured my balls into the dispenser and it was malfunctioning- only bringing the ball halfway out of the hole. Had to use my golf club to scoop the ball out each time. At the turn, I went inside for a drink and snack, but the bar was not staffed. For a hot day, it was disappointing. Bunkers were bad - some rocky and messy.

The layout of the course was challenging. Thankfully I got paired with someone who played the course before or I would have had a much harder time playing. Even though it was difficult, there was lots of wild life to lighten the spirits and scenic views from tee boxes that made it enjoyable. Can’t wait to play there again

Got on late Friday afternoon was running 21 minutes behind tee time. 4:21-4:44. Got to play 15 holes.

Played as a solo and showed up to the pro shop 15 minutes early. Checked in and was told I was playing with a 3some and needed to join one of their carts which is whatever.

I was asked to walk to the starter so I did so. Once I got to the starter with my bag I was still 7 minutes early. The starter then told me that he let my group go off early and they were on the green. I was upset with this but what are you going to do.

The starter drove me to the group and I joined in their cart which was very awkward. We then waited on the second tee box as there were 3 groups on the same hole!!! No idea why he was pushing groups off early just to wait.

We waited on EVERY single shot the entire round because this course is trying to suck out as much money as possible and stacking tee times way too close to each other.

Never playing here again.

Magnolia has really discouraged the growth of golf locally with these fees. $159 on a weekday!? These are local resort course fees, it’s insane. I hope to see lower fees in the future like we used to see at Avery.

We waited for a deal on this course which having now played it glad we did. It’s a tough track so take lots of balls. The disappointment was not having water on the course in the height of summer. Two water holes 4 & 14 with no water left on the 14 and the drinks buggy eventually arriving on the 15th. Signage was not good so navigating the next holes can sometimes be tricky. Overall nice but in terms of its high price not worth it and I’ve recently played better courses in the area for far less.

Best course in Austin so far it’s a challenging course but everything is so green tee box are amazing greens beautiful course in general

Overall, a very fair course and set up well for amateur golfers, even high handicap golfers. The greens were very nice, and well maintained, a bit too slow (just needed a roll or haircut). The fairways were not in the best shape, with frequent dead spots, dirt no grass. The driving range is all mat play with automated ball tee up's if you like that sort of thing. No locker room to change.

This is one of the slowest courses in Austin….and they just don’t care.

I’ve played here numerous times and talked to many golfers that have said they refuse to play the course due to slow play. If you play on the weekends you will surely be waiting at every hole for at least one party to tee off. Pace of play is not a concern for management and it’s a shame. It’s frustrating to play a 5 to 6 hour round of golf when you can go to Crystal Falls, ShadowGlen, Starr Ranch, or numerous other courses for a much quicker round… At a much lower price

I advise you to stay away unless you are looking to blow money for a slow day.
