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

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.
Wow! Wow!
Beautiful course as always, we were given great customer service. Pro shop let us move times in order to play with another friend. Will be back.
Great Value for a Very Nice Course!
GolfNow reservation is well received by Staff. Everyone is polite, professional and helpful.
Great conditions - great time - will definitely be back!
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.
Challenging in the Heart of Texas
Great course for the money!! Challenging compare to other public courses. Highly recommended !!!
Fantastic Course
This is a fantastic course. With friendly staff, nice club house and excellent course conditions, I would gladly recommend this course to others.
This course was fun to play
Great course with nice view but not for the price, the greens need more attention.
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.
Challenging
Fairways were excellent and placement of the ball was crucial. Greens had been recently punched and sanded so ball didn't react true. Left many balls short or didn't break as read.
Should have disclosed the greens were sanded
This is my only complaint about the course. The greens were sanded the day before and no heads up was provided by the staff. I would have appreciated the info as I could have made another selection of a play to play this time
This course requires patience and a great short game
This by far was a great course for the value. Fairways and greens are in excellent shape

Always in excellent condition and staff is always nice and courteous. ..
Over priced, but worth it in your rotation, couple times a year
Avery Ranch is a great course if you are really into shaping your shot or having angles to hit into. Tight course with generally moderate sized fairways. Trees will generally determine the side of the fairway you want to be on as well as the flag location. Greens are generally flat and are a good pace. The type of grass used does make it difficult to read the greens for breaks. Typical issue of any golf course where players are playing the wrong tees, so you can run into a longer than usual round. If the course is not windy, then it is a fairly straightforward course with no real trouble if you stay within your game. Conditions are great in general. Driving facilities are abysmal as half the balls you are given are bare without dimples. Apparently the golf professionals did not get the memo that dimples are what creates drag and keeps a ball in the air. Beautiful views to be found on some of the front nine holes and number 18 is definitely as billed. I definitely recommend this course to anyone visiting for sure and for locals this should be on the once every few months rotation. I would say this course could be worth more visits if it was not 75$. There is not a 75$ course in town that is worth it unless it is a private course.
Avery Ranch Golf
Good course and in great condition! I definitely recommend this course to anyone in the Austin area.
Avery Ranch Course
Golf course has great views, fairways are like butter; take out bacon strips. Nice layout with good lengthy holes. Plenty of shade on a hot day. Challenging not overwhelming.
Austin Business Trip
Brought my clubs with me to Austin just in case I was able to break away and get a few holes in. Meeting ended early and I was able to venture out to Avery Ranch. Great course layout and in pretty good condition. I highly recommend this course.
Very nice slice of Central Texas
Nice course with very nice facilities. Some greens were a bit rough for a course of this caliber.
Nice Muni
Great value for $50. Very nice public course. It played a little slow but that would be my only minor complaint.
