About
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

Course was in good shape, good layout provides a challenge but forgiving as well.
Golf at Avery Ranch
Great course. Starts out with some holes that make you feel good about your game. Then brings in the the tougher ones that bring you back to reality. Waiting for them to upgrade the carts with yardage screens.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, bucky88231. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Avery Ranch Golf Club!
Nice course But 5 hour rounds don't cut it.
Course was in great shape , But pace of play was horrible. 5+ hours for the round and had 2 group back up on every tee. No ranger to push play and overbooked.
Hi perrydon! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
TOO SLOW!!!
I've played Avery many times and I almost always have a great time. While the guys I was paired with today were lots of fun, the fact that we had to wait on every single shot was excruciating in this heat! Not once did we see a course marshall. It took over 5 hours to play and it was 95*+. I could somewhat understand if this was a weekend or holiday, but it is just a normal Thursday. There is no excuse for allowing this much slow play. Come on Avery, get your act together. There's too many other places to play to tolerate this lack of control of the pace of play.
We're so sorry to hear you had a disappointing experience. Your feedback has been relayed to our team.
Staff doesn’t care
Avery Ranch is a nice course. The staff there seems to thing patrons are just a necessary evil. Unfriendly, unhelpful, They don’t seem to care about customer experience. For this reason I choose other other courses when available

Excellent condition early in the summer after a terrible winter
Course was in excellent condition especially the greens compared to other courses in the area which greens are in terrible condition due to the record freeze conditions this winter.

Great course - poor pace
This is a great course. And the golf staff is very good. You can tell they work hard and care about the golf played there. However, there is an issue with very slow play. I think they overschedule but also they need to push the golfers to speed it up. I schedule Avery as a last resort because I know every round will be 5 hours. Also, it was a very hot day and there was nobody coming around selling Gatorade or water. For a Friday afternoon you would think there would be a cart girl coming around but there was no one out there.

“Ranger Danger”
Played Avery today. Course in decent shape, pretty solid layout minus the houses. The Ranger, who said he was from St. Charles IL, visited our group about 8 times during the round. We were the second group off for the day at 7:30. Did not see one group behind or ahead of us all day, which was great. However, the Ranger ruined the round by telling us to pick up the pace (and trolling our group the entire round like a hawk) cause we were 15 min behind a 4 hour round. I’ve played a lot of golf and am a member at a private course, but this, seals the deal on any Ranger out there today. If we were holding people up, fine, I get it. But honestly we had zero people behind us all round. Go enjoy golf somewhere else, these guys are clock chasers
Hello, jthomp07. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for your experience during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. Please reach out to our management team at (512) 248-2442, and thank you for choosing Avery Ranch Golf Club. We hope to hear from you soon.
Pace of Play Terrible!!!
Really like the course layout! The pace of play is the worst I have seen in a long time. It took over 5 hours to complete the round. I am sure the course is aware the pace is slow when you allow 5somes out on the weekend! It took us 44 minutes to complete one hole on the back nine. The group in front of us each took at least 2 shots off the tee and then took at least 10 shots to get to the green and then lined up there putt like it was for eagle.
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give Avery Ranch Golf Club another try in the near future.

Cart Blowout
Usually love playing this course but bad experience today. Had a tire blowout after we made the turn. Took two phone calls, a word to the refreshment cart and more than an hour to get someone out to us with a replacement cart. We ended up walking for about 3 holes. I guess that sounds petty to some, but if I have to walk the course, why pay for the cart?
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback! We're very sorry about the flat tire and the delay in getting the issue resolved. We will pass along your feedback to our staff in an effort to continue to improve. We hope you'll return in the future for a much better experience.

Course in great shape after the amount of rain we had. Greens good and the fairways were great
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Joegmartin. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Avery Ranch Golf Club thanks you!
Course should have been CLOSED!
It was cart path only and the course should have been closed! I Iost 4 balls in the first 6 holes because of sand traps being flooded! The course was so wet, it was unplayable! Went into pro shop to complain about conditions and they would offer no refund because I paid on Tee off. Com. I will take it up with them!
Hi, tigerman23. We're very sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your round with us. Yes, unfortunately, we can't offer refunds for Tee Off rounds, as those are purchased through them. We hope you'll give us another shot in the future!
