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

The staff was very friendly and informative. The driving range was in terrible condition. The range balls were old and worn and the mats were just as bad.The course was as I remembered, a very nice layout. The pace of play sucked, just under 5 hours.All in all I would play again but at a different time.. thanks
Great lay out
I had a great time at Avery Ranch golf club. I love the lay out of the course starting on hole number 10 . My only complaint and crap and bumper they could use a lot of help.
This course has a very tough front nine
I like this course a lot except for the bunkers
The front nine has some tough holes that demand some great shots. A couple tough par 3’s and 4’s
The bunkers on this course are extremely poor. Some have no sand like hitting off clay
Slow...
Course was good to very good. The pace of play was brutal. Greens were thin in spots.
Nice course
Good course challenging holes friendly staff would play here next time in the area.
Thank you so much for the great feedback! Hope to see you back soon!
Horrible experiance
Course was a mess, bought a GolfNow hotdeal...didn't want to play in such a mess but Avery staff made sure they told Golfnow that the course was open for play. Wow to save $50.00!
Thank you for your feedback. Can you please give us more information as to why the course was such a mess? We would like to correct any issues we are having.
Very good value
Cold day when we played, but a very enjoyable course. Winter conditions, tee boxes and greens are good fairways are brown but that is to be expected. Very good price with Golf Now. I will be back!
Thank you for braving the cold and coming to see us at Avery! Hope to have you back the next time you are in the area!
Great Day
Fantastic weather, great group, awesome course. Can’t say much more
Avery Ranch
We snagged a Hot Deal for 2 on golf now. When we showed up they had paired us and the twosome in front of us with beginners. We played the black tees and this made the round extremely slow and irratic. Tee time was 1:30 and we played the last 2 holes in the dark.. Not the best experience.
Great Golf
This is one of Austin's premier public courses, always in very playable condition with really good greens. They have an excellent maintenance crew who keep the course prime. GolfNow has some really good tee times and prices for this course almost every week making it a very manageable financially course to play on a regular basis. One of my most favorite courses to play in Austin.
Great course but slow
We enjoyed the course layout a lot. Some very interesting holes. Course knowledge is a premium. Conditions were dry but nice. Greens held a shot well. The pace seems to be a problem here. We expected it as it was Sunday afternoon. Over 5 hours waiting every shot.
My Favorite Course, so far...
I am new to Austin and have been trying to play as many courses in the area as possible to get a feel for the options. Having played five different courses so far, this is definitely my favorite. There are some challenging holes, elevation changes, and some are just really nice to look at golf holes. Course knowledge is a definite plus. The greens were in good shape, but still a bit slow from the maintenance two weeks prior. there were a few tee boxes that were pretty torn up. One thing that should be on the website regarding course alerts, but is not, is that on Tuesday the range is not open until noon. This is despite having mats. So, if you plan to play on a Tuesday morning and you need to warm up, you're out of luck. You have to go the first tee cold.
Nice course but play was slow and painstaking.
Course is one of the nicer courses in the area but 5hrs pace of play was excruciating. People that think they are “on the tour” and take 4or 5 practice swings on each shot and not understanding the idea of ready golf make playing here difficult. Even bad players can get a round in under 4hrs. I would not recommend playing here on weekends, but hopefully weekdays are better.
Thank you for coming out and playing at Avery Ranch. We apologize for the slow pace of play you experienced during your round. I hope in the future you will give us another shot!
