Avery Ranch Golf Club

Range balls are terrible- old and cut up

Range itself is terrible - muddy with very little grass

Staff is barely courteous

We waited 30 minutes for a golf cart as they didn't have enough and had overbooked tee times

One worker said "This isn't my job" regarding golf carts

Some greens already burned up and not even hot yet.

Pace of Play is a joke and always has been - Avery Ranch "Home of the 5 hour round of golf" and on 06/10/2017 it was 5 hours and 10 minutes. Ridiculous! Never play there again!!

This round was a great value, and is now vying for my favorite daily fee course in Austin. We played in the heat of the summer here in Texas, and the course conditions were immaculate, well as immaculate as they generally can be here in Austin. The greens or well-kept, the fairways were extremely playable and green, and even the roughs were in excellent condition, well-maintained. It was Friday afternoon, and we saw the cart lady five different times, which is great when you need an extra drink in this heat. Reminded me of being at a private club. Will definitely be going back.

My friend and I got a hot deal from GolfNow. Unfortunately the weather turned on us and started raining (with thunder & lightening) after the 8th hole. We decided to take a rain check and when we chatted with the service clerk he informed us rain checks cannot be granted to online purchases like hot deal offers. We we're both disappointed and decided to sit out the rain cell (30 minutes). We were soaked by the time we finished playing 18 holes and I was left with a disappointed feeling from the entire experience. We weren't interested in a refund but just an opportunity to play 9 holes another time.

As the for the greens, the grass was in good shape, there were some odd looking half-finished construction areas/"garbage" or unsightly corners, and the signature hole (#5?) was unimpressive as toted.

As for the service, the staff and service were excellent (minus the hot deals/online purchase rule they have).

Very interesting layout. Lots of different shots required. One of the best daily fee courses in Austin.

I thought the course was in great shape for all the rain we have had. Thought we were going to be cart paths only, but was pleasantly surprised for 90 degree rule. And even though a holiday, we finished in just over 4 hours. Front desk, cart and bartender and starter were all friendly and courteous.

Had a wonderful day.

It was a lovely spring day at Avery Ranch. It wasn't crowded and we finished 18 in just over 4 hours. Course has some tough holes but it's overall fun

Played this course for the first time. The course was in great shape after the rains but there wasn't a Marshall so we were held up by a couple 4 somes so that eventually let me play through on the back 9.

The course has a challenging front nine with back open for some good scoring. Our day had perfect weather with course in excellent shape. The staff was great from the time we walk in. The range staff was excellent and the course cart girl was wonderful.

Even though we had a ton of rain over the past several days, the course was in very good condition. The only drawbacks were the bunkers, which were not groomed after the storms. For a Sunday afternoon, I was surprised to find there weren't any marshals or player assistants on the course, although there was a beverage cart. Pace of play seemed a bit slow on the front nine, but this is somewhat expected due to the difficult holes on that side. We finished in 4:15, which is better than the suggested pace of 4:30 for this course.

We played after heavy rains and the fairways dried out well and the greens were receptive & soft. Fair layout with tougher holes and easier holes and a good value for the Austin market.

We had a great round! The course is in great shape. All the staff were awesome! The club sandwich at the turn was amazing! We drove an hour and 15 minutes to get to the course and would do it again! It's a great course at a great price! Thank you Golf Now for finding this course for us!

The course conditions are fine. Greens are a bit chewed up. Some people don't mind 5-5.5 hour rounds. I can't handle. I understand running into time issues on Friday's and weekends. I'm not sure if it's a function of age of membership or ability level or over-booking.

Two things are unacceptable in my opinion...

-No marshall on the entire course checking on pace of play.

-Mentioned to front desk (not management level employee) that pace was five hours plus with no marshall and it's a really good opportunity for someone to offer an explanation. Dead silence from the desk.

The business end is run like a well-oiled machine. Clearly the tee sheets are full. Please focus on pace of play and golfer experience so that you can retain golfers rather than pump and dump them. Clearly from the reviews, this is an issue. Throw a guy in a cart and urge quick play.

I'm not sure what is happening but this used to be a nice premium course here in Austin. Tee boxes were chewed up quite a it, not much sand in the traps and greens looked to be struggling. I also have a hard time paying in excess of $80 for the pace of play and condition it is in. Disappointing and I hope it doesn't go down hill from here.

This is the 3rd time I've played this course in the last month. Each round has taken at least 5 hours and 15 minutes and yesterday's round took 5 hours and 45 minutes. In each of the rounds, the first tee box was stacked with multiple groups and we teed of late each round. I didn't see a marshall enforcing pace of play during any of the rounds and saw multiple groups with 5 and 6 players. Pace of play appears to be a common complaint here based on recent reviews and I won't be back until it is resolved. In terms of course conditions, the fairways are hardpan despite a recent aerification, the greens are infested with poa annua, the sand in the bunkers is hard as concrete, and several tee boxes have very little grass.

Very nice layout, greatl course condition. Very slow play over 5 hrs.

This is a well kept secret in Round Rock, Texas; tucked away in several neighborhoods. The course is kept up extremely well and plays challenging yet doable. Definitely playable for golfers of all levels. Don't be fooled by its several wide fairways. The course is sneaky enough to get even the most seasoned golfers to second guess club choice from time-to-time.

Staff is friendly, engaging, and willing to help. My first attempt at playing the course was rained out and they gladly reimbursed me for my green fees and encouraged me to come back out.

I will definitely be back!
