Llano River Golf Course
About
Llano River Golf Course has the wonderful distinction of being laid out along the scenic Llano River, with beautiful views and great golf. This course should be a must-play anytime you’re touring through the immediate area.
In addition to the scenery, the most memorable feature of this course is the tiny, postage-stamp-sized greens that require pinpoint accuracy and a solid short game for pars. In fact, these well-manicured greens compare favorably to the tricky burial mound greens of Alpine and Marfa, and are surely some of the smallest targets in the state.
Mature trees line the fairways, and water hazards come into play on only three holes.
The best birdie opportunity is the short, par 5 13th hole, playing only 437 yards. Good golfers can get there in two and give it a roll at an eagle putt. The ender is talked about as the signature, a difficult 502-yard par 5 with out-of-bounds along the left as well as behind the green.
Getting there : In Llano turn left on the north side of the courthouse and head out to the course.

Great golf outing
Llano river has been transformed into a must play in the country. The greens are in spectacular condition and the scenery along the Llano river is beautiful.
Scott in the clubhouse was welcoming and friendly. My day was about as peaceful as golf gets .
Llano Golf
Great value. Course was in suprisingly good condition due to lack of rain. Greens were very good. New pro shop is nice. Once outdoor pavilion is finished this will be a great destination. Will be back when I'm in the area.
Wonderful Course to play
Course is in excellent condition. Greens are challenging and fun to putt. Hole placement offered plenty of shots that had to be pre-planned. Course layout is fun and holes along the river are just beautiful.
Highly recommend playing this course.
Greens are spectacular
Very nice Hill Country course. Terrific layout - some truly beautiful holes next to the Llano River. Will play again soon.
Great Small Town Course!!
Fantastic greens, easy layout and fast pace of play 3hrs makes me a return customer in the near future.
What a difference! We played a couple years ago; it was a cow pasture! Now, absolutely great!!! The putting greens were like being at a resort. The staff was so friendly. Can't wait to play again.
Fun track
First time playing the course and I enjoyed it. Beautiful views of the LLano River. Fairways and tee boxes so-so, greens in good shape, slower that ones I'm used to playing...putts didn't break as much as I expected.
I would recommend playing with someone who knows the course as the front nine is a little confusing. I got lost on #3 and the group behind me did the same later in the round. Would play there again.
Great day; Great value.
Lovely course. Greens in great shape. Friendly, accommodating starter/clubhouse staff.
Good Course
For this time of year tee to green was ok, but the greens were excellent! Good to get away from overcrowded courses in Austin area.
Great Hidden Gem of a Course
Great little public golf course. The first 9 are completely different in nature to the back nine. Like playing two different golf courses. beautiful nature views. Very small greens.
A must play if you are in the area. You won't regret it.
Pleasant River Views
This is a pleasant, older course that played short on this drizzly morning. Greens are small with lots of slopes, contours, and tiers. They were wet this morning, and they had not been mowed. So, they were slow.
The front nine used to be the back nine. It is the most scenic side. Course was almost empty; therefore, pace of play was wonderful. Staff is very friendly.
Great Little Gem
This fun little track is filled with challenging and picturesque holes that can reward you if you are an accurate golfer. The everyday players out here are extremely good and welcoming to friendly outsiders. The staff is relaxed there to have fun and help you out, they are relaxed on dress code but i would still wear o collared shirt. This course as crushed granite cart paths and well kept carts for a small town course. The greens are receptive and roll true in most parts. Overall this is an exceptional course for a low price.
Greens are great. Very challenging.
The greens here are quick and a fun challenge to putt on. The front and back nine are challenging but fun when hit in the correct spot. The staff is laid back and friendly and the carts are rather quick.
A field that is now a golf course
This Muni was very tight as they barely fit 18 holes in this layout. While the river is interesting, the course leaves a lot to be desired....
This course has been upgraded since we last played. Greens were great. Fairways greatly improved.
The course is in great shape and has some character without being tricked out with overuse of bunkers or water hazards. Great greens and great views on the Llano River.
Always fun for the money
the front nine has a lot of back and forth play but the back is more interesting. We always have a good time here.
