Avery Ranch Golf Club is a part of the Avery Ranch residential community, 20 minutes northwest of town, that was carved and blasted out of the rocky ranchlands along Brushy Creek. This historically significant area was once home to Indians and robbers, who were drawn to this beautiful setting thick with dense oaks, meandering creeks and abundant wildlife.

The golf course was designed by former Jack Nicklaus designer Andy Raugust, who literally had to use dynamite to blast rock out of the landscape for five holes. His design features two potential signature holes on each nine.

No. 7 doglegs left, and features two scenic carries -- one off the tee and another on the approach. The hole is rather short, providing the chance to be in good position for this most spectacular approach shot on the golf course. Staring at the multi-level green, you’ll notice the huge rock wall fronting the green, the large bunker to the right, and the native cacti to the rear.

Avery Ranch Golf Club's 13th is sure to be considered one of the best par 3s in the Austin area. The 161-yard par 3 features water on the right side, impressive, towering oaks in the back, and a unique ridge of rocks to the right of the green. The reasonable distance makes it a fun challenge, and the hole features a bail out area in case of a miss

Too slow pace

5 golfers played before our group. It held us every hole. We could not finish the 18th hole. I think they overbooked.

Hello, ksgloriarn. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Challenging course

Avery Ranch is a difficult course. Hills and narrow fairways lead to some small greens. You can use every club in your bag. Hazards are not visible in many cases when your hitting. Even having played the course before I could not pick out the edges of the hazards. Very well maintained and good practice facilities. The greens had some issues with different grasses growing.

Break track just wish they took better care of the fairways

This has always been a great track but it seems over the years their ability to keep the maintenance up with the amount of people they have playing the course has declined. The greens are always in above average condition but there are too many places on the fairway that are not maintained well. Specifically too much hard pan for a course of the status even considering winter conditions. They need to take a look at how nice Star Ranch keeps their fairways. This is a beautiful golf course but again they need to start putting more money back into the maintenance of the fairways.

Plan on at least 5 hours

The golf course is fun to play and very challenging, however they over pack to course every day. I have played 4 times in the last 1.5 months and ALL 4 times was between 5 and 5 1/2 hours, 3 times was mid week. Driving range is packed with families sharing buckets. I can’t believe they allow walking when it is so busy. It seems Samsung must give a lot of days off and buys memberships! #suckthefunoutofgolf

Awful

Range balls were the worst I’ve Ever seen. Actually saw my first bald golf ball.

Had to wait 30 minutes to get on the range before my round and to hit only about six balls of my $16 large bucket.

I showed up to the first tee exactly on time and the starter was chatting with another golfer for about four minutes before acknowledging me and then telling me that He had sent my party out early and that I could meet them up on the second hole.

Water coolers were empty at the water hose.

Tee boxes large with broken tees

Greens and fairways were pretty chewed up

Pace was really slow.

Just not a well run club - played like a city muni

Average at best

Greens were in decent shape. Small bucket of balls cost 9.5$ (yes, for 25 balls, it was almost 10 dollars). Pace of play was abysmal. On the second hole, there were 5 groups waiting to tee off!! No marshals around and front nine was 3.5 hours to finish. Staff not very friendly, range was full of people, but they had no range balls left. Staff, mostly HS kids were just sitting around, chatting away. For the price they charge, I would expect much better service.

All tee boxes and greens were just about immaculate for winter conditions. Fairways were fair for winter conditions. Can't expect green fairways in the winter.
