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

Avery Ranch
Classic Texas golf. Wide open fairways, Bunkers need work but I enjoyed the round.
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.
Great Day
Very nice coarse, I really enjoyed the challenge. The layout is in a gray area and setting. Loved it !!!
Great layout
Love this course...Played tough as fairways over watered and while grass lush, was soggy...Plays long when little roll for us old guys. Enjoyable track and amenities...
Great Value
Course was well maintained and a super friendly staff. Greens and tee boxes were pretty consistent too.
Just like the old days
The course was in fantastic shape all around from to to green. Fast greens, no greens burned up like other courses. I used to play this course 3-4 times a month but stopped as it has gotten pricey over the years and the pace of play has gotten slow. Found a $60 rate on GolfNow and pace of play was 4:15 with a 7:48 tee time.
Had a great time and will return soon!
Nice course
Played on a Thursday. It’s mid-July and hot in Austin, but course still in good condition. Played with three members. Great guys. Great staff.
Ok Course, Needs Some Care
I wish I could say I really enjoyed Avery Ranch, but it was just ok. I was grateful the starter let me join a group early because of a no-show. Luckily I was paired with members and they shared some course insight along the way. There were a handful of blind shots and dry creek beds which I would have never known were there. Some great shots could be penalized if you aren’t careful.
The course has some nice views and elevation changes which made fun tee shots but it was a weird layout. A couple of short par 4’s, then a long par 4, a few par 3’s over 200 yards off the Golds and back to back par 5’s on the back 9. Plenty of trees line the course and there’s cold water every few holes.
What drove my rating down was the conditions. The greens are fast, which I like, but we’re bumpy and spotty because nobody seems to repair their ball marks. The bunkers...don’t get me started. They are full of rocks; not just pebbles, 2-3”+ rocks. One of which was below my ball and chipped my brand new Titleist wedge. Needless to say, I was NOT happy. For what I paid for, rocks in bunkers are unacceptable. Some of the tee boxes are also in need of repair. The 18th is dismal to say the least. I might be back knowing what to expect. Look for the hot deal instead of paying full price.
Fun track.
Lots of different looks on the fairways. Very fair with receptive greens and sandy bunkers.
One of my favs.
