Avery Ranch Golf Club
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

Great rentals
Avery Ranch lived up to our expectations and then some. We arrived to a beautiful clubhouse and had no problem checking in after making our reservation the same day on golf now. We were pleasantly surprised to be outfitted with Taylor Made RBZ clubs and a couple sleeves of balls. The course layout was excellent and well maintained. The only downside was the five hour round at 2:30 in the afternoon. I would recommend a ranger on the course.
Even though we had a lot of rain, course was in good shape
Even though we had a lot of rain, course was in good shape. We had to use the cart path, no problem, we got some good extra exercise!!!! Greens were in good shape. Only thing with the rain, the traps were washed out and full of water, therefore had to take a drop. No big deal. Really pleased the Avery Ranch staff let us play.
Provides great ability check.
Fairways & rough are excellent. Greens were smooth and medium fast. Golfing experience was very good. This is a very nice course to play and can punish wayward shots - sometimes strong punishment but it also can reward well placed shots.
This course is much more fun to play if you play the tees that match the length of your drives. Playing it forward still makes for very challenging shots and lets you have some real fun with your clubs.
Don't forget the Cold mugs and $1 first beer after the round. Great clubhouse.
Great place for weekend outing.
The fairways and greens in great shape. The various tees allow you to make the course as challenging as your want. Great 19th hole and view to relax after a round of golf.
One of my favorite in Austin
Great course and very well maintained.
Would play again this wknd, if I lived closer.
Best greens I played in Austin last wknd.
This course was great.
I was very impressed with the course at Avery Ranch. If you can find a deal that is around $39, it is an absolute steal. It is one of the premier golf courses in the Austin area that competes with the likes of Falconhead and Grey Rock except that you're getting it at a fraction of the cost. I highly recommend it!
Great Choice
I hadn't played Avery Ranch for several years and it was still the great course I remembered. Fairways were in great shape, however the greens were recovering from aeration a couple of weeks earlier and were a little bumpy and inconsistent. They should heal in a few weeks and be great.
Tough course, but usually slow and over priced
I love this course, and play it as often as I can. But it's a relatively tough course, and sees a lot of slow golf. Don't come out here expecting a <4-hour round.
The full fees are over priced, even after twilight. But if you get a deal on this site or via something like the development club, it turns out to be a good (sometimes, great) value.
Beautiful course!
I had been wanting to play it for a while but didnt want to pay $60+, but got a great deal from Golfnow.com for only $21! The greens had just been punched and sanded, so probably why so cheap.
Despite the greens, the layout is challenging but fun. I really liked it. They need MORE drinking water for these TX summer days though.
I was told by my playing partners they're really slow on the weekends (4 1/2 to 5 hr+ rounds), plus it's more expensive too, so play on a weekday if you can for the best experience.
Good condition - Nice course
This is a nice open course with some tricky holes like the Par 5 fifth and the Par 4 seventh, but not a difficult course to play. Greens are in great condition and fairways are very good also.
Well worth a visit.
Condition does justify cost
I love this course. The layout is challenging but fair and there are some classic holes (5, 7, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17 & 18). However, the fairways are in only fair condition, the bunkers are hard and crusty, and the greens need attention with a few in really ipoor condition. The price is much more than Star Ranch and Teravista but the condition of the course doesn't support the extra cost compared to these other courses.
Immaculate fairways!
This is a great track with friendly staff. $1 post round first beer is a nice touch! One of the best golf outings in Austin!
I wish I had a house close to this course
Avery Ranch was a last minute decision for me and I'm truly happy that I made that decision. The staff here were nice and made me feel like I was a pro. I shot one of my best scores here. The guy I played with helped me out a lot and if it wasn't from him I may have not played as good as I did. Over all I will return to this course. I wanted to play another round but it was a little bit to hot for me. The last hole I hit a great shot from the right of the trees and made a birdie. I end up scoring a 73. I made many great shots but the last hole was a Molly Whopper! Good enough for me for the first time playing this course. I will return........This course is laid out for PGA tour Players. Great freakin course and I do know how to play golf. I know the diference. True Story!
this course was in perfect condition
Normally I don't play this golf course due to the fact that it is out of my price range but I happen to find while browsing golfnow a $24. tee time that I could not pass on. This could easily be a PGA type golf course and actually played very good off the well maintained fairways and greens. If I can find more cheap rates at this golf course then I will play it every time.
Great facility! The Greyhawk of Austin
Especially impressed with the amenities and the attention to guests. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. The practice facility could use some TLC. The course was in great shape. One drawback was no on course help - forecaddies, GPS or caddy book. Thus the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.
Course is finally back! Thanks rain!
I feel this course slacked off the last year or 2 but is finally looking great this year! There were a couple of times I've been there this year that the greens were really hairy for this course but may have been after aireation. The front 9 is always a survival to the 9th hole. The back 9 with the exception of 18 is soo much friendlier and easier to score on.
This has always been one of my favorite courses.6/
Looking good - playing great!
Course in great shape...now if I could only say the same for my game!
