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

This course looked very nice despite it being January.
I had a great time. The friendly attendant let my partner and I skip back a few tee times in order to warm-up. It is sort of dangerous at parts on the course when you can't see if there's someone in drivable range up ahead just out of side, ex. #18 when down by the ravine on the left, halfway to the hole.
Pretty course
Course is in really good condition for this time of the year, a must play for out of towners.
Course has good variety and is in good condition
Enjoyed a good round of golf in cool, windy conditions on this course that is not very forgiving. While it is quite easy to lose a few balls if you veer off the fairway too far, if you keep the ball in play and can take advantage of the smooth greens running at a good pace, you can put a decent score together. The 5th and 7th holes in particular deserve respect. They can easily ruin you score, as they do to me this time out.
This course is a must play when in Austin.
A very "Hill Country" golf course, with lots of elevation changes and risk-reward experiences. They offer a great practice facility. Course conditions were overall good, after several days of very low overnight temps. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, greens all were in good shape. The rough can be pentalizing, with the rocky outcropings,catus. Plenty of deer on the front nine in the afternoon,so be careful you may hit one.
Great layout
I am from Oregon and play year around, but I have never played in colder weather. 25 at the start and 32 at the finish. But as cold as I was, I quickly overcame that as I became excited about the challenges of the course. I decided to play again the next day when it was slightly warmer and I want to come back in the spring.
Great variety of holes
One of the best balanced courses in Austin. A great mix of tight, challenging holes with a few wide-open scoring opportunity holes. I've golfed here in every season and the course is always in great shape, even when others are dried out with drought.
This course have several challeging holes
Cource was in great shap for Dec play here often so Im very familar with it . Can't say that make my game better.
Excellent conditions on a very challenging and diverse course
Great cojndition and value for the Central Texas area,
One of the best public courses in Austin!
Avery ranch is always is grey condition. Seems to be a challenging course that will also allow you to score as well. The greens are in excellent condition as well!
Excellent course
Good condition of fairways, greens and bunkers. It has several challenge holes but very interesting. I'm handicap 20, and if you don't have a moderate and accurate driver, you will lose some balls... I enjoyed a lot.
Had a Great time, good value
Great course with good challenge. Found the pace of play met with my style (quick). Love the $1 Shiner Bock after the round. Only downer...when I went to book another round I could not find a tee time other than for 9 holes.
The course is great and fun to play
I have played this course twice through golf now
Each time we play there is a tournament that is eather in progress or fixing to start.
We had to wait a long time to finish and it is during the week.
It seems as if they set there tee times up when they have tournaments to fill in gaps.
Extremely good golf course
A great Austin golf course in excellent shape, extremely well manicured, outstanding facilities and staff. Highly recommend to all level of golfers.
Too Wet To Plow
This review is tongue-in-cheek. We got rained out on the 14th tee. When the fairway flooded, we called it a day. Didn't really get to enjoy the ambiance of the clubhouse, etc., being morbidly wet. The only thing our foursome registered as a complaint is that the carts have no wind (rain) shield, and we were completely doused. We'll be back, but with our rainsuits.
great course
avery ranch is always a great place to play. course is in immaculate condition and it's a good balance of fun and challenge.
Great Place to Play
If you like rolling hills that arent too difficult to play around, deer through out the course, and a friendly staff; look no further. Worth every penny to play on a well maintained course...a lot of fun!
Always enjoy the course layout
The course is a good mix of difficult, moderately difficult & moderately easy holes, with the front side more challenging off the tee and the back side having more of the easy holes. Course conditions are generally good, but course is more expensive than other courses that have more pristine conditions. Usually, have very good experiences overall.
Always maintained ... really nice layout.
Avery Ranch is always a nice course to play. A couple of holes still give me ulcers but for the most part I really enjoy the layout, etc. Being a semi-private club, the place has always been very well maintained. I wish I could play it more often.
