Avery Ranch Golf Club
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

Nice course great layout but very slow
I like the layout and for winter conditions they are great. Fsst true greens, challenging layout. BUT the pace of play is terrible and the clientele are clueless. This is marked as a higher end course but the players at the local munies have a lot more etiquette. Threesome took 15 min to play 3/4 of a par 5 as I waited to play my 3 shot they started screaming at me for hitting my second shot 30 yards from them. I will never go back
Superb course
If one of your goals is to play a layout that can challenge you with risk/ reward, Avery Ranch delivers. Great layout and impeccable conditions at a great value.
Been ahile
While suppose to rain, we played in 60 degree weather and no wind-just overcast...Course a bit wet but fairways in great shape...Greens in good shape but a bit bumpy at times....Overall a great track and joy to play. Food excellent and reasonable as well....Will return.
Nice Course
I played here on a tournament. The course is very well maintained. The greens are gorgeous. The course plays pretty long. Even though is quite far from where I live, if given a chance I would come back here and play again. The only negative is that carts don't have GPS on them, besides that I have no complaints.
Hill country beauty
Course is in great shape. Pace of play 3.45 on a Sunday. Not bad. Met some great people and had a good round.
Good Course; great value
2nd time to play the course. Great condition. Challenging but fair layout. Filled with holes that are visually pleasing and suggestive of the benefits of local knowledge. You want to come back and play it again because you think you'll know how to play it smarter and better the next time.
Great course
First time playing this course. What a great course in north Austin, probably the best I have played in the Austin area so far. Staff was extremely friendly, walked me outside to my cart pointed me in the direction of the practice area and where the 10th hole was. (On Tuesdays you start on the back 9 so they can do maintenance to the front) Would highly recommend to anyone considering playing here. Course can be challenging but great for any level golfer.
Great value- fun course
Course in very good condition especially considering the heat and drought we’re going through. A fun layout. Always enjoy playing here. Staff is great.
Always enjoyable
This is a great course for the price. Pace of play on Monday waa a little over 3 hours.I would highly recommend. I play once a week
Hope no one finds out how good a course this is
First time to play this course in years. It is in fantastic condition. Fairways great. Greens fantastic, fast. I almost hope no one reads this so it will never get crowded, but course and staff have earned great rating. Thanks.
Good times by all
Great course, all levels can play plenty of tees. Only negative is the sand traps which are more like rock traps. If you stay out of them your ok if not get ready to remove ALOT OF LOOSE ROCKS
Great, Except the Bunkers
I love this course except for one thing, the bunkers are not sand. They are dried up gravel and rocks that will damage your clubs. Aside of that, this is a great course. Pay attention to the hole diagrams or you will be ambushed by the creeks that cross the fairways. :-)
Poor Customer Service
I booked a Monday morning tee time (July 9, 2018) directly through the Pro Shop. That morning, I was only able to play 1 hole, before heavy rain forced us off the course.
1 hole.
When I went in to ask for a refund due to the rain, instead of refunding me for the full amount I paid (less than 30 minutes prior mind you), OR instead of pro-rating the $40 I paid and only charging me for the one hole I actually played, I was only given a refund for a $33 twilight rate. How is this appropriate? How is this acceptable customer service?
It's not.
There are too many other good courses in town to have to deal with this lack of guest appreciation. It will be a while before I come back.
Great course
This course is always in top shape. Just informed that they bought Falcon Head. This is a great course and would highly recommend it.
Greatly maintenace course & Great staff
Nice challenging track from the golds will get to touch all fascent of your game from great back to back par 5’s tomlong par 3’s always a great time. Oh yea large bucket of balls is 12 bucks for 125 balls get the medium lol
Bad scheduling
Played on a Sunday (11:33am tee time) and 4 holes later and 1hr and 25minutes later, and after being hit up on twice...: we decided to get our money back. Apparently some tourne with a shotgun start was going on! Staff gladly refunded us but I was really looking frwd to playing 18
Good Time
Nice course. Challenging. best to play with someone who knows the ins and outs. I would just as well play the cheaper muni's in town than pay their full price, but the Hot Deal is affordable and i play a lot, so over $40 is too much twice a week. Basiucally I'm saying its got nice facilities and service, but its nothing special. Good though.
Really enjoyed Avery, will be back
Greens were in great shape and it’s a cool layout. A little slow on a Sat afternoon but that’s to be expected. Will definitely keep Avery in my rota
