Avery Ranch Golf Club

Even though it has not rained in a few days, 6 or 7 holes were cart path only for seemingly no reason. Course was beautiful but pace of pay was extremely slow

Greens are best I’ve seen all season. Fairways are good. Tee boxes good. Greens exceptional. Recommend getting in a round before Mother Nature has her say.

But deer population is out of control. 9th Hole trampled and rutted up bad. Bring a crossbow and have fun!

I played on 11/11/2023. I played 12 holes in 3 hours and 40 minutes. Started at 1:39 pm but didn’t get to finish because pace was very slow and it got dark. Don’t play after noon and expect to finish before sunset.

The course is in very good shape. They still need a little more time for all the greens to be perfect, but they are still very good

Conditions were fantastic. You could see that a handful of greens had recently healed but they were all in great shape when I played. Very challenging course for this mid-handicapper — the front nine was especially unforgiving to missed fairways — but I appreciated the test. I will absolutely be back!

We teed off at 9:15 on a Sunday. Admittedly, a risky time to start. We were behind a foursome that each could give Patrick Cantlay a run (a slow one) for slowest play. After taking just under 3 hours to play the front 9, we happened upon a Marshall. I asked if he thought we could get a rain check for the back nine because we couldn’t take 6 hours to play. He asked, I paraphrase “if play was so slow, why didn’t we say something?” I thought that was his job!! Didn’t he notice the empty holes in front of the foursome ahead of us? 🤦‍♂️ Fortunately, we were given rain checks. The course is in good condition and very interesting. Will definitely try again, but hope the pace of play will be better.

He also said a couple of things my wife and daughter thought a little creepy, but as I didn’t hear 5em, can’t report on them.

they have lost parts if not all of most greens some putting thru Sahara desert so much sand Great layout .. staff sucks... always has... as management use the " use and abuse" mentality for all employees...carts are rinky dink cheapest you can buy.... what used to be great course is now an overpriced albatross relying on past prestige to keep people coming ... a real Jewell if they invested the $$$ and changed management to more congenial attitude true shame

No one made us aware that the greens were sanded and in repair mode. Not worth the $95 per person green fee. Also, having just finished the round they closed the grill at 1pm.

Played on a monday with a start time of 12PM. There were no marshalls on the back 9. The group in front of us was very slow and drove the golf carts onto the green. There was no water in the water coolers (It was 100 degrees outside). The greens are absolutely ruined and more dirt than grass. On top of all of this, you will pay >$100 to play the second most expensive golf course in Austin. The Magnolia Golf Course Management company does not care about your experience at all.

The tee boxes and fairways are in great shape but maintenance forgot to take care of the greens. Majority of the greens aren't even puttable because the dead spots are SO bad. Greens are my number one priority and this was a very rough experience. I have seen Avery in 5x better shape in the past. For $42 it was do-able but I wouldn't play here for more than that.

Just checked times for tomorrow August 18th and they are asking $114 for green fee. I guess if they can get it good for them but the course is in really bad shape especially the greens. I would never pay $114 to play this course.

The greens are in bad shape. The turf was scorched and most greens are really sandy.

Upon checking in Pro Shop gave us a heads up that "some of the greens were under repair ... a few bare spots and new sod".
16 of the 18 greens had some form of issue. At least 50% were unplayable - no true roll, bump and bounce all over. Bigger issue was they were still charging full greens fee.
Course is a nice course and challenging but if you can't play the greens they shouldn't be charging full price.
