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

Excellent golf course

I played early morning, in a cold and rainy day, so I had the course to myself. Conditions of the course were immaculate, you have deers and roadrunners in the front nine, and beautiful views. The course is easy to play and read. It has some challenging holes and shots. I had an excellent round and would go back in a heart beat. I shot a 99, second double digit in my record, I just started playing (6 months). I highly recommend this course to any golf player.

great facility

This course its very fair but challenging. Excellent practice facility's. Greens roll like pool tables. Pace of play its good. Lots of tee options for various skill levels. You need a lot of different shots to score. Forced carries on tee shots. Must place the ball on proper side of fairway to get a good look at some greens. Fun to play. Will play again.

Challenging but Fair

Avery Ranch is a challenging course that offers a little bit of everything throughout the 18 holes. It has long par 3 holes, sand and water. Greens were in excellent condition as were the fairways, when I found them.

Always a Fun Round

I've played this course about 5 times since moving to town. The staff is amazing, very friendly from the moment you arrive and have been each time I've played here and the course has been in great shape each time also at differ times of the year. Greens have been moderately fast. Front nine Is more challenging, with multiple holes that require a shot to carry a drive or a shot to the green. Layout is great, stay in the fairways and you are fine, sounds easy, but we now most golfers are avg at best. Seems a little over priced to walk on but I have always found a great GolfNow price. I don't normally take time to write a review but the staff and course are definitely worth taking the time for me to do so. Great job Avery Ranch!

Impressive

The entourage is impressive. The staff very helpfull. The mergandize in the proshop expensive. The course in excellent condition. Nice fairways not too difficult to follow. Greens in great condition and fast. We missed some ballcleaners and wastebins (should be at least at every other hole). We enjoyed our first round at AveryRanch. There will be more to follow for sure.

Worth the green fee

The course is in good shape. The fairways are not too tight but they challenge you to hit a decent drive. The greens have some character, so you have to pay attention to putts of any length. It is difficult to assess the pace of play, we played behind a charity scramble. We finished in about 4:45. I think the pace there would normally exceed 4 hours.

Always a great place to play

This is a good track. Greens are well maintained, practice facilities are large with almost always hitting of grass, and the atmosphere is inviting. The course is challenging but doesn't penalize for a good shot. Bunkers are inconsistent with hit and miss; some hard and some soft would be my only critical comment.

SLOW PLAY

The big problem with this course is not the condition or the price it's the members!!!!! They won't let a twosome play thru a foursome. The course was wide open in front of them while they play ARMY golf. If your not in a hurry this course is for YOU!!!!!!!!

Make Public Aware

Booked Tee time on Sunday for the afternoon and called Pro Shop to see if anything was going on that afternoon said no nothing going on. When we got their a scramble was going on and started 1.5 hours before out tee time. Play was so slow we got 13 holes in before it got slow to finish. Love the course but this is not acceptable when you pay good money you want to get you monies worth.

Very Nice Course with Beautiful layout

This course is beautiful with great views, lots of deer and an outstanding layout. Course uses the natural terrain with creeks, and ravine type carries. The greens were alittle slow but this was due to the rains they received the night before. The fairways were perfect and some of the best I've played this year. We will play this course anytime down in the area.

Very enjoyable

Was in town for an annual golf trip. First time to play this course, and chose based on these reviews. We were not disappointed. Had a nice lunch in the club house before our round. The course and greens were in great shape, and the scenery is nice. Lots of deer on the course.

Great course. Poor starter.

Fantastic course conditions, excellent layout. Only complaint was the starter was rude. Traffic delayed one playing partner by 8 mins and he made a huge deal about. No need to say anything as not many were even on the course.
