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

Avery Eanch

Nice track with good greens. We played behind a tournament so the place of play was slow. I liked the layout of the back 9 over the front.

4.5 hours to play 13 holes

First and last time I will play Avery Ranch. It took almost 4.5 hours to play 13 holes during the week. I have played tournaments in less time than it took to play today. The course is very pretty and looks good. Greens were ok. Slow and people don’t repair their ball marks. If any course needs a MARSHAL this course does. Unless you want to spend an entire day playing golf, stay away from Avery Ranch.

Great course close by

10 minutes from the house, always looking for a hot deal. Great to play any opportunity. Felt a little slow with my threesome, but it was still under 4 hours on a Saturday afternoon. Can’t ask for more than that. Great layout. Great course.

Challenging but fun

This was a pretty hard but rewarding course. I’m a little under a bogey golfer but found myself scoring one of the worse rounds of mine in recent memory even though I felt like I had played a good round because it is not a forgiving course. Great place to work on your game as well as a well maintained course which is something you don’t always get with the munis down south.

Beautiful, challenging course

It's a beautiful course not multiple challenging water hazzards and some hidden ditches. If you pass them you'll be very happy. They also have a drink and snack cart coming by. Not to forget very friendly starter and Marchals.

Nice Course While Visiting Austin

I was a single and put with a couple of really nice men. The course is a bit challenging with some hazards that you can't see well off the tees. The course was in nice condition, the greens were true and the wildlife (lots of deer) was a treat.
