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

I don't like the harassment by GolfNow to rate a course every time I play a course. If I book another round, it is reasonable to conclude I enjoyed the round of golf and the course was in good shape.

Pricey Venue Skimps on Value Added Items

Recently had a friend in from Dallas and decided to treat him to a nice daily fees course, one of the best of its kind in the Austin area. Or so I thought.

Didn’t mind the pricey round so much but the basket of range balls…was like $16 and these balls…half were unhittable. They appeared to be 3-4 years old. They’re crummy for a joint that fetches nearly $70 a round and $16 a bucket, to hit balls I literally wouldn’t hit with my driver for fear they’d damage the face. And the range is like 100 yards from the pro shop so buy your balls when you’re inside. Then the balls are embarrassing. Seriously????? Had to wait 10 minutes in the line in the shop to get balls after just being in there. And mats are fine but these are….worn out completely. And the course was well maintained but the traps were slightly wet from a rain the day before but mainly they’re just mud, there’s. no sand in them. IDK how you can reconcile that price for that kind of experience. I asked the guest services guy about the balls and he said “they get stolen a lot so the owners won’t get new ones”. What? That’s an administrative and staff issue not my problem. The balls are laughable. Then it was a 5 hour round with ample beverage cart services but no marshals in sight to keep play moving. It’s just not worth it. If you’re going to just provide muny services then charge $30 for it. TBH that’s about what it’s worth and you can hide from it. Get a range attendant and balls, start acting like you care. Let me know when you do, otherwise we won’t be back.

Mixed Review

I like the course and think it is a nice course, well maintained, and challenging but fair. For the first five holes, I would have given 4 or 5 stars, since pace of play was fine and on pace for sub 4 hour rounds. Then we basically played at a 5 hour pace from #6 on, waiting on every hole. We were a foursome so not like we were rushing.

The other big negative is the number of holes roped off so you could not drive the cart on them. It was not because they were wet, which I would have understood.

I usually do walk a lot even with a cart, but had some back issues and all the excessive walking was bothersome.

I think I will check next time what holes are roped off and what tee time intervals are before playing again.

I they allowed enough time between groups and didn't rope off so many holes, I would recommend, but based on yesterday, I would not.

Course is in great condition.

They do a great job keeping this course in great condition. Pace of play can be a bit slow at times....we were able to start off a bit early but then on the second tee we were already backed up and it ended up being that way the rest of the round. It was a perfect weather day and the course is always a bit challenging for me on a few holes but it's a beautiful course and love playing here.

Horrible management and slow pace of play

This place is probably the worst managed course I have ever seen and the staff is one of the most hostile. I would stay far away from this place unless you want to waste a golf round.
