Avery Ranch Golf Club

Course great shape

No marshal so pace was slow. Group ahead of me wasted 8-10 min looking for ball. I raised my hands to let them know I was waiting no reply.come on now...it better have been a Pro V.....

Cart girl only saw her once during 18 holes not very friendly.

Starter was very nice & pro shop employee very nice.

Few tee boxes need some TLC & love

Two marshalls seen early in round. Both saying, "its slow but it's a nice day." If I wanted a nice day I would have gone fishing. Three hours to finish nine? Inappropriate and to drive so far just to play behind an outing? I wish I had known when I booked my time. Had to wait ten minutes every hole. No way to establish any rhythm other than bad.

This is a very nice layout and one of the best public courses in the area. Definitely a place to play.

No Ranger on course over 20 mins per hole quit after nine

I drive 120 miles (one way) to play this course. I enjoy meeting other folks and Avery Ranch gives me that opportunity. Previously deer were often seen but not after deer season. The greens were very bumpy as the grass was making its way back. The bunkers are hard sand - not at all soft and difficult to gauge how to hit. Many shots bladed amidst our group.

The round was fine. The course was in good condition for winter play- tee boxes were a little sloshy but this wasn't a deal breaker. However I was playing alone and was stuck behind a foursome with two walkers. The refused to acknowledge my presence and refused to allow me to play through. In fact if they even happened to see my tee shot they would turn around, put my ball in their bag, and continue walking. One other time they finally looked at me, picked up my ball and threw it in the water. Another single had caught up to me- he was also a member- and ran up front after 3 holes to tell them to let us play though. They said 'no.' We played our shots, and when we reached the green one of the foursome began screaming at us, telling us we need to learn golf etiquette. Their member, and the single behind me continued yelling at each other for several minutes. We finally went past them and never encountered them again. If the members in front are any indication of the member base as a whole - which I am sure they arent- I would be hesitant to join.

Despite this encounter the round was enjoyable. Wind picked up on the back nine and both me and the other player had a very hard time finding balls in the fairway. Just need to be greened up a bit in the coming spring and this shouldn't be a problem.

Great staff. Course was challenging but in good shape. Overall a beautiful course.

Course is always in good condition. A fun and at times challenging layout. You won't get in too much trouble being in the second cut on most holes but the elevation changes make for an interesting round.

this course is great! love the scenery, the way the holes are positioned throughout the Hill Country...beautiful! It will make you think about shot to shot which is great...Love playing here!

The course conditions have really fallen off since the change in ownership. I would like to see the new owners invest in the course, specifically the fairways.

Played here many times. Layout has variety and many interesting holes. staff are very friendly. Reason for this review though is practice facilities have always been poor and getting worse. range is usually off mats - putting green often closed. when open is tiny with 3 holes....chipping area is usually wet, crowded with rock hard grounds. for a course that has plenty of room, they planned very poorly.

I brought my father-in-law out for my second ever round at Avery Ranch and had a number of problems with the staff but the course was excellent.

Let me begin by the course review: The course was in great shape, bunkers well maintained, and the greens were fair and true. There were a few issues but overall very very happy with the course and it's conditions. The layout is challenging but enjoyable.

The staff:

When trying to book a tee time it took 5 calls to get anyone to answer the pro-shop phone. Once we got past that issue and arrived at the course they were perhaps distracted by a wedding being held at the site and a tournament finishing up in the morning. When rounding 9 and heading to 10 they had the clubhouse and path blocked off with no clear directions as to how to get to hole 10. We did eventually figure it out but were unable to use our drink vouchers as we were routed around the clubhouse. I get it, it's a wedding, but that doesn't excuse pushing aside every other customer you have and there are plenty of acceptable ways to handle this.

Then, when driving between hole 13 and 14 our cart simply quit working. The battery light was flickering. I called the pro-shop and once again got no answer. It took 4 tries to reach anyone and once I did he insinuated that perhaps I don't know how golf carts work and to try wiggling the forward / reverse handle. After assuring him that I can tried all possible remedies, he promised they were sending staff out to bring us a new cart. We waited for 40 minutes for that cart to arrive. At that point is was beginning to get dark so we gave up and simply walked back to our vehicle. I saw the pro-shop employee on the way out and he assured me that he had sent staff out and they claimed to not be able to find us. I am not sure how you are unable to find a stalled golf cart or how we could have possibly missed them; but alas it was pointless.

This was perhaps the most frustrating golfing outing I have ever been a part of. As good as the golf course itself was, I had to placate my father-in-law who is not a young man and was forced to walk the entire distance from 14 to the clubhouse. Not a word of apology was issued, just an excuse.

5 hr round of golf on a Sunday other than that Awesome

This course used to be a great place to go. Conditions have deteriorated despite the high fees. I also made a tee time, cancelled it according to their guidelines and they still charged my card. After respectfully calling the shop for 2 weeks they still refused to refund my money. The poor course conditions and lack of ethical behavior of the staff will keep me away from this course from now on. It's a shame the place is so poorly managed as it is a good layout. If you play there, don't give them a credit card number. They will charge you either way!

Great course and layout. Excellent condition. With 5 set of tees a challenge for all golfers.

This was the slowest round of golf I ever played at this course. They sold the golf now tee times behind a tournament and didn't do anything to speed up the pace of play. Basically the tournament was more important than any other groups playing that day! Next time I book a time at that course I will be sure to call them and make sure there is no tournament scheduled that day!

Avery Ranch was in pristine shape. Every green was near perfect. There had been a couple of days of rain prior so we were on cart path only which slowed the pace of play considerably. Other than that I thought the round was super. The course was in the best condition of any course I've played in the Austin area.
