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

Solid value
The course is a good value with an excellent layout and solid condition. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to play a public course in the Austin area.
Beautiful Place
Very nice course ,
Friendly Staff ,
I can't wait to play there again .
Good course for the money!
I used GolfNow to book through Avery Ranch. I played in the afternoon and it was half off.
After playing the round, I am not sure if I feel comfortable playing at $80 with the shape that the greens are in. However, playing at $40 is a great deal, so I will probably do that in the future.
Also, they gave me a free drink ticket for the bar when I checked in; I thought that was a great gesture.
Our group saw the cart girl about 3-4 times which is awesome as well. Its a great way for the course to make extra money!
Overall, I will be back!
Terrible at Avery Ranch
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!!
Excellent conditions in the heat of summer
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.
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful feedback! We are so happy to see that you enjoyed your time out on the course! We know if can definitely be hot, so we're glad our cart girls were able to help you out! We look forward to having you back out on the course!
No Rainchecks with GolfNot Hot Deals
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).
Hi!
We apologize for the mix up with the rain check. We are always offering great specials when you book a tee time through our website, so next time make sure to check that out! We hope you will be back to play at Avery Ranch soon!
Great topo
Very interesting layout. Lots of different shots required. One of the best daily fee courses in Austin.
Hi Neal,
Thank you so much for the 5 Stars! We appreciate the great feedback and hope to see you back out on the greens soon!
Avery on Memorial Day
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.
Beautiful course
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
Slower than expected
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.
Great day for golf
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.
We truly appreciate the 5 Stars! So glad you were able to get such great weather, especially after the rain we had been receiving! Our staff works hard to ensure everyone has an enjoyable time out at the course, so thank you for the wonderful compliments! We hope you will be back to see us soon!
Nice course conditions, interesting layout
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your experience at Avery Ranch! We are glad to see that overall you had a good time during your round! We apologize for the conditions of the bunkers!
Great Shape
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.
Thank you for the great review and for coming out to play at Avery Ranch! Glad the rain did not ruin your round, and you were still able to enjoy the course!
Very Nice! Course! Staff! Food!
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!
Thank you for making the long drive out to Avery Ranch! We are so excited to see that you enjoyed everything, including the food! We are always offering great deals on tee times, so make sure to join our email list!! We hope to have you back out on the greens soon!

Why I quit both courses they own have horrible pace of play. The owners could care less about you golf experience. I live around the corner from Avery . As hot as it was Sunday I drove to cowan creek 14 miles away to hit balls. That should tell you the extent they have alienated golfers. Their canned response tells it all.
Hi Madison,
We would like to apologize for your experience at Avery Ranch. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make it up to you.
