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

Golfer Reviews
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.
Avery is best public course in Austin
Avery Ranch is a great course and a great layout. Some holes are very memorable. Highly recommend this course - best public course in Austin.
Only blemish is greens can be a little bumpy on some holes, but still better than any other public course.
Great layout
This is my favorite public course in Austin. The course is always in great shape.
Course
The greens was one of worst greens I have played on. The sand traps was equally bad. The sand was more like in a kids sand box thick and rocky. The rest of the course was amazing. Fairway, rough, tee box, and the view was one of the best I've seen.
course has wildlife and is beautiful
course is in great condition but the greens need some attention.
9 holes rained out
I intended to play 18 holes but torrential rains made the second nine unplayable. The front nine was in very good condition with varied and challenging hole layouts. Strong winds made scoring difficult but the holes were fair and the greens smooth and moderately fast. I enjoyed the nine holes I played and will return to play 18 holes soon.
Great Fairways, sandy greens
The couse is very green. Fairways were very nice. Greens had recently been top dressed but were still playable. Great course.
Early morning round
Even though the greens had just been cross cut, they still rolled pretty good. The fairways were in excellent shape. We booked a tee time on Golfnow @ 6:36, so there was no one ahead or behind us. A 3:15 minute round! Love this course.
Course is in great shape
The recent rains have really helped the course. It is in the best condition that I have ever seen. Greens are smooth and consistent, fairways are in great shape, only the back tee box on 18 needs some work.
Avery Ranch
Definitely my favorite public course in Austin. Greens and fairways are great. Pace of play was pretty bad last couple times but that seems to be a problem everywhere. Pro shop guy never says more than one word to me but the girls at the bar make up for it. Awesome view from bar and course. A little pricey but you can get a good deal if you don't mind playing later in the day. ☆☆☆☆☆ Must play!
One of the best public courses in Austin
Avery Ranch is definitely one of the top public golf courses in the Austin area. Dont expect a 5 star, country club type course with amazing greens, but for being a public course, it is very good.
Very scenic course with fun, challenging shots. Hill Country course with lots of slop and elevation changes. Must land your drive in the fairway, or else you will be chipping out to hit your approach shot on the green.
Overall a very good course, that I highly recommend.
Great value
Even in wet conditions, course was well above average. After the recent flooding they will likely have to redo bunkers but that's mother nature, not the course
Awesome course
It was a great course and great value for a hot sale. Greens and fairways were just about perfect. The layout was very challenging and fun.
Great Course
Overall great course! I saw a deer on pretty much every hole. Fun time and the course was in great shape.
