Avery Ranch Golf Club

No one made us aware that the greens were sanded and in repair mode. Not worth the $95 per person green fee. Also, having just finished the round they closed the grill at 1pm.

The tee boxes and fairways are in great shape but maintenance forgot to take care of the greens. Majority of the greens aren't even puttable because the dead spots are SO bad. Greens are my number one priority and this was a very rough experience. I have seen Avery in 5x better shape in the past. For $42 it was do-able but I wouldn't play here for more than that.

The greens are in bad shape. The turf was scorched and most greens are really sandy.

Nice course - challenging & long. Had been highly recommended and looked forward to playing for 1st time.

It should be noted we were given a heads up by the Pro Shop when we checked in that a number of the greens were under repair due to grass dying, new sod being laid etc. Not sure we realized just how bad the greens would be however. 1-2 of the greens were in decent shape but the remaining holes were in extremely bad shape - difficult to describe just how bad and it was unfortunate as the course is well laid out & challenging but the greens were unplayable.

Two holes/greens under reconstruction. Condition of other greens was poor. Tee boxes were good. Fairways were great. No marshaling extremely slow players. Round took 4:45 to play. Full price was charged.

Upon arrival with no information prior- my playing partner and I were told that there is a temp hole, damaged greens and wasn’t a range available at 930 on a Tuesday.

Classy establishment

It was 105 degrees yesterday and I overheard the beverage cart attendant was sent home due to how quiet the course is… at least send your marshal around with waters…

Won’t be back… wish I could challenge the credit card charge

I understand we have to deal with this heat. And keeping the greens in good shape is a hard task. But the rate you guys are charging with the greens this bad is ridiculous. I've always had a great experience out here and that's why I came back. But this is a turn off and I'll remember it the next time I book a time. Won't be back for a while. Disappointed

Of the 18 greens I would say 3 are horrendous. and another 5 of issues on the fringes and the rest or ok. The three bad ones are just dirt and fertilizer grannuals on the dirt or patches of really thin grass and dirt so the ball bounces all over the place between the green patches and the dirt so nothing rolls smooth or remotely pure and true on these 3 terrible greens. As we were checking in there where guys asking for a refund and the csr they were talking to said no but nicely. So I would pass on Avery for at least a month or two so than can sort out there greens issues.

I’ve played this course dozens of times over the years and have never seen it like this.

The greens are a joke. We paid $50 at 4:30 to play which is ridiculous for the course conditions. They charge $114 until 2, which is a scam. The pace of play is terrible.

Don’t waste your time out money playing at Avery Ranch.

Greens and tee boxes were in horrible shape. Two of the front nine par 3’s were temporary and every other green had plenty of GUR. Should not have charged full price. Also never saw a drink cart and it was 100 F.

Staff was friendly and amenities were pretty good.

Let me start by saying this course used to be amazing! I was a member here for 5 years before moving to Tennessee a few years ago. I was in town visiting family and we went out and played and I was saddened to see how bad of shape the course is in. They have all but lost the greens, they are unplayable so plan on playing the old automatic 2 putt rule. The tee box’s that get played, the blue and white are ridiculous and mostly dirt. There is no way this course is a $100 course anymore, back in the day yes but not worth $50 with the conditions it’s in now unfortunately.

Monday was a holiday and the greens are pretty bad for the course but it is 100+ everyday so I think they are doing great job considering. Pace of play was rough though.

Greens, tee boxes and bunkers all pretty much under repair or need serious work. Not reflected in what they charge.

I’ve played here a lot and this is the worst condition I’ve seen the greens. Definitely not worth their current price!

Greens in really rough shape for the price. Sand everywhere

Course conditions are horrendous for the greens fee - $117 for dry and sandy greens, bunkers with little sand, tee boxes are fully dirt. It was appalling to see how much the course has declined since last season. Marshalls were not friendly and there was a lot of horseplay on the course, people not wearing proper attire, really slow pace. Would not recommend especially at the rate.

I'll keep it simple, I read the other reviews recently and was worried but I'm not that stingy. Now, when you charge $80 for tee times and $8 for a small bucket of balls, there are expectations. These aren't met currently! The range balls are horrible, why charge almost $10 for a small bucket, serious?

Now for the worst part, the greens are in bad shape, most of the tee boxes are completely beat down and when you hit a bomb drive within wedge distance, you hit outta fluff grass that feels like hitting your ball sitting on top of pile cotton. The other reviews aren't lying, this course is certainly not worth the price and I've seen it for over $110 on the weekend, yikes! The greens are most important, no one likes putting over need for repair sections and little sand bunkers within the green :(

Now on the flip side, if they improve the greens and tee boxes, this is a great, challenging course with a ravines everywhere. Course knowledge is needed to shoot well. Pace of play was 4:15 for 9 am which is great for this course.

Small side comment - I arrived at the starter 10 minutes prior to my tee time (9:00 am), signed for my cart and made a joke that "it looks like we're already running a bit behind". There was a group that just took off with one waiting on the tee box at this time. The starter smirked saying, it's on time don't worry, and I said I'd like to see that. Joking turned a bit serious and he said fine, I'll bet you $1 a minute, I jokingly agreed. I go practice putt only to find a free drink ticket on my golf cart when I came back, we teed off 6 minutes late ;)

Overall, great course, great layout, friendly staff, pace of play was a bit slow. Greens were a bit rough in spots, no brown patches but was not smooth. I shouldn't complain, I play in hot, dry Texas summers every year when courses struggle to keep greens green.

Course layout is great but they haven’t been maintaining the greens and tee boxes enough for the prices they are charging.
