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

No reservation

Got there to check in and had no record of my reservation. Had trouble with pro shop. Showed them my reservation proof on phone but continued to say I had no reservation. Really not the way to start a round of golf.

Finally not overbooked

Course was in great shape and the staff is very good. The only issue I have ever had there is that they overschedule. Was not a problem on our round. Play was on pace for the first time in many years.

As expected!

Always in good shape, but it seems like the course maintenance crew has really found their groove. Course is basically in perfect shape tee to green, other than a couple pesky bunkers leftover from rain days. But I also noticed they were adding sand to bunkers and getting them into perfect condition as well. Sometimes pace of play is an issue, but it was flawless today.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Poor greedy management

Let's start with the cart, they charged me $16 extra even though there were only two carts for the foursome (twosome were walking the course). At checkin, I was told the other one-some was OK to ride cart with me when in-fact he had not even checked in. And he rode his cart with his girlfriend, which would have made that impossible. This course has learnt the corona trick to fleece customers, disgraceful I say. After my round, went to grab a beer but misplaced my drink coupon, waitress wouldn't honor my receipt from morning, she was extremely rude. I paid for the drink, but the attitude was totally unnecessary.

Greens were lush, rolled and in great shape.

Not bad. Layout is a carbon copy of Avery; ShadowGlen. But it was in great shape. Greens were pristine but very slow. Too slow. Hopefully they firm up soon. Overall very pleased and will definitely be playing there again soon.

Poor management and extremely slow pace

Course is in rough shape, bunkers are like rocks, and woman staff member is very unfriendly and hostile. Only good thing about this place is driving range.

Windy weather
Used cart

Bunkers need work as even new sand seems like ground clay. Others not yet worked are more like hard pan. Greens were somewhat inconsistent with poa annua grass creeping in heavily to some of the greens. Needs more TLC then in previous years to get back to a top public course.
