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

Interesting course

The course was in great condition. Pace of play was good for a holiday weekend--we seldom had to wait to hit and were not pressed from behind. The back nine has an interesting layout with 3 par 3's, 3. par 4's and 3 par 5's. The practice areas are convenient to the clubhouse and first tee. I will certainly play the course again.

Great 4th of July Round!

Course was in great shape. Pace was a little slower than usual.l as we waited in a couple holes. I think we finished in 4 hours 35 minutes which was okay for my wife and I. But overall we had a great time. Wish they had water coolers out. It got hot!!

Great start to 4th of July Weekend!

Played Avery this morning and it was in great shape. Pace was a hair over 4 hours which was nice as we had afternoon plans. If you haven't tried their top tracer you need to. Pretty cool stuff!

Golf now has lost its mojo

Avery ranch was great. Booked through golf now for a foursome. One of the four had to cancel. I told front desk this, they were very understanding . Then a few days later my credit card gets charged for a no show.

Golf now this transaction was a disgrace. Guy who couldn’t show was at doctors testing positive for COVID 19. Refund my money please.

Great Fathers Day Round!

Awesome day at Avery Ranch. We started on the back nine for some odd reason but the pace of play was fantastic. We tee'd off in the morning around 9:30. We wish the grill was open but understand with all that's going on why they can't.

Excellent facility and staff!

We could easily tell the facility was extremely busy but the staff at Avery was over the top professional. Carts were very clean and available, staff was super friendly and accommodating, pace was right at 4 hours 20 minutes which for how busy they were we felt was really good. We never really waited. We play here once and a while and can see some great stuff happening in how the place runs. We recommend this course!!!

Avid Golfer

Avery never disappoints. Course was in great shape as were the greens. Have played Avery many times and it’s very challenging but I always go back for more. Maybe someday I’ll conquer it. The staff are always pleasant and helpful. Great golf experience.

Great course, but....

The only negative are the greens. You think you got a right edge of cup putt....and then it breaks an entire foot. This happened 3 times. I played with a guy who plays there a lot, and he concurred that the green reads were extra difficult to impossible.

Forced to ride with stranger - COVID19

Starter let me know right before teeing off that the course has a policy that only people over 65 or with an underlying condition can have a cart to themselves. This is absurd, and they tried to force me to ride with a stranger and return my cart as I pulled into the first tee. This is NOT ok. If you're going to enforce these policies, and promote social distancing in the clubhouse and restaurant, you need to let guests know. I've never been forced to join a stranger's cart under any circumstances, especially during COVID-19. This created a huge argument on the first hole. The starter needs to be informed of the guidelines and needs to treat guests with more respect. I would expect this from a cheap municipal course, not from a semi-private club. Cancelled my team time the following day and will never play here again. It's not worth the hassle or the 5+ hour round.

Slow Pace of Play

If don't mind playing 5 hour plus rounds, this Is the place to be. The only good thing about my round was that it was an Golf Now Hot Deal. If it wasn't for that great price I would pay $90 to play here. I hope that they will fix the slow play so that more folks could enjoy their round of golf.

First Time Playing

Pace of play was awful. invest in a starter.

The pace of play was unacceptable. they had a full tee sheet but i saw atleast 5or 6 5 somes way to many 2 somes. they need to invest in a started that patrols pace of play and monitor group to make sure they are not playing 5 somes. there should be no reason why there are multiple 2 somes on a busy day like yesterday.
