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

pace of play
Pace of play was slow. It took at least 4 3/4 hrs and we couldn't even finish the 18 th hole as it was too dark
Pro shop smug
I called in to set a tee time for 4 for a Tuesday. Person on the phone did not specify that all 4 people must show up or I will get charged for the 4th who’s kid got sick and couldn’t show. The cashier boy in the pro shop was as so smug about it I wanted to throw up. I will NEVER play here again. Tried to tell me this is a golf wide policy at all courses like I don’t play twice a week in central Texas. Maybe spend more time tightening up the condition of your muni course and less about stealing from your patrons. Never again.
gone downhill
i used to play this course regularly when it first opened. i lived near it and the layout was very interesting. the greens especially were great. fast forward 4 years, i moved to the other side of town, and the course is under different management. the prices are up 50% since i last played, and i was VERY disappointed in the greens. they were slow and bumpy with a weed infestation. i got a very low rate as a single filling in a group last minute. i would not ever pay their regular rate to play the course in its current condition.
Love the course hate the pace of play
Very thankful this course gives access to the public. Very sad it takes 5 hours to play it on the weekend. Played my best 9 holes ever on the front, which was super fun. Back was a little tougher on my game. They give women an awesome chance to play along with the men so that always makes it more fun when our drives are in a similar location. Thanks again for letting us on your course!
Overall great course, greens were punched recently but they didn’t putt too bad. Very interesting layout
A tricky layout yet rewarding
Playing this course the second time around, enjoying the wonderful views and the speed/conditions of the greens. Some blind tee shots although when you know where to hit it you’re set.(When driver is over 300yds you shall be careful) on landing areas. Tee box conditions could have been better hence the 4 star review. Don’t hit it off into the rough as you may find rocks in the rubbish. Otherwise I will be back to play again!
Enjoyed the round. Great course.
Really enjoyed playing Avery ranch today. Great staff course was in nice shape. Fun day.

Great Course for Late Day Tee Time
The course is in great shape. I played after all the rain and 9 was closed but I love this course. The green fee after 4 was very reasonable at $45. I played solo and finished in 3 hours. I got to work on my game and was very relaxing. The pro shop could have been more friendly but I am sure he wanted to leave for the day. Highly recommend.
