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
Great golf experience
This is and outstanding golf course with lots of different shots needed. Some water and trouble but generally not in play. Local knowledge is very important here as there are lots of tricks and surprises. The 5th hole is one of my ATF's in ATX
The deer and wildlife are a pleasant distraction.
Pace of play needs improvement
Booked my tee time through GolfNow like I normally do for any course. The rate was decent enough at $49 which seems to be average at this time of year. To kick start the round, it's disappointing to hit the cities oldest range balls. I remember playing this course last year and was struck by the cost and condition of their range balls. Many of then barely have dimples in them from over use. Guys, replenish your range. $4 for 25 terrible range balls is a bit steep in my opinion. Course conditions are pretty good. Fairways are better than average and the greens were in good shape as well. Pace of play was awful. When you book your tee time, it would be great to know that there's not 1, but 2 separate tourneys going on that day. We had a 6 some in front of us at one point that wasn't a tourney group. Very disappointing to say the least. Near the end of our round tons of high schoolers start showing up to pretty much take over the course. Nothing against these kids getting out to practice, but keep in mind this will slow down play exponentially if the groups are as large as we saw yesterday.
Good quality greens
The greens were very good. True and good speed.
Pace of play was very good.
Top End
Layout, length, challenge, course conditions, views--Avery Ranch has it all. Most of the par 3s are a little longer than they need to be for the average golfer, but oh well. And this is a minor annoyance, but I didn't notice ANY ball washers along the way.
Avery Ranch
Awesome course. Play on it for the first time. Totally worth the $59
great shape Avery
fantastic condition, fairways are asgood as I have ever seen on public course.
the greens are very slick yet very true and smooth. $3 beers on the course is a bit pricey with no bargain for six pack or volume purchases.
if I had to complain about something, it would be you that a few of the holes have cart path only. And I am a bit disabled and makes The Long Walk a bit difficult, but if you hit it in the middle of their way that wouldn't be a word
Alway a pleasant surprise
I probably get out to Avery Ranch once a year. Each time I'm reminded....what an enjoyable test. Just the right amount of: room in the driving areas, undulation on the greens, challenge/difficulty in general. If I had to nitpick...the traps could use a little "sprucing up".
Avery Ranch
Course in in great shape. We would definitely come back again.
Great layout just enough water good mix of right and left doglegs a challenge for all handicaps
Love to play this couse. Having said that the pace of play by the members is a huge negative for me , they don't allow anyone to play thru and think they are the only ones on the course . If you can get a early tee time you can get out ahead of them and will enjoy your round.
Again great course and you will love to play it
Great hill country course
Great course - if you like a up & down course with fast greens, you will love this course. Great value
Nice but unfriendly
If it had not been for the starter we would rate the course unfriendly. We were told of $1 draft at the 19th hole, only to find it closed well before dark...
Layout was fun but greens were a little slow.
Really accommodating staff
Got lost on the way. Staff was accommodating and slotted us in. Got a warning from course Marshall about bad weather approaching. He was spot in the money. People were very nice and accommodating. Course was in good shape and will only improve now that Spring is here.
All around greatness
My first day back from winter was amazing!! Course was nice, grass a little dry but was to be expected so early in season! Greens were rolling really consistent! Staff was excellent on a sort of slow morning!! Had an overall great experience!!
Good Course
Avery is a very nice course and always friendly staff. can play very long but has several tees for all players. The greens had been punched a couple of weeks ago and wished they would tell you that on Golfnow but rolled pretty good. A little expensive, but every once and awhile its nice to play.
Usually better
I have played this course a number of times and usually things go well. On my round this time the pace of play was very slow and there were no marshals out on the course to address. I love the course and chalk this up to just a bad day where they had more golfers than expected but was disappointed to only be able to play 9 holes even after paying for 18 because I didn't have 6 hours available to play a round of golf.
BAD EXPERIENCE
Played the 8:06 teetime and got to the first green that might as well have been a beach. Yes aerification is neccessary but there was no word of this when we booked the teetime and when we checked in the proshop. There was no aerification alert on golfnow nor on the website. We paid $70 and was told absolutelty to how horrible the greens were. Not possible to putt from any distance. "Richard" in the proshop was extremely rude and when we quit after 9 holes he wasnt surprised but didnt mind charging us the $70 when we checked in. I will never go back to Avery Ranch again becuase of the staff and management. The course is nice but cannot help the fact that management does not care about the daily fee customer.
Good Course…but...
Avery is a great course, but when they sand all the greens and it lasts for two weeks, they should lower there rates. The greens were in pretty bad shape and will be that way for a week or so…..great facility, great staff, but this time of year it's pretty expensive to play on a course where all the greens are in bad shape.
course conditions
If Golf Now is gonna pair up with golf courses, they should get some feed back from those golf courses. I.e. reseeding greens & tee boxes, or aerating the greens. Avery Ranch is one the top courses in my area and when I booked it for a 815 tee time on a weekend ($49), I thought I had an awesome deal. Well needless to say on the first green sand was dumped onto the greens so much that you can write your name in it.
Avery Ranch
Greens had been punched and sanded three days prior, but there were still heavy amounts of sand on all the greens.
