Llano River Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Llano Country Course
Although dry, the course was in really good shape, especially the green. Front 9 is tight but fun to maneuver. Back 9 is more open and forgiving, but layou has you planning your next shot so you don’t hit into another group on the adjacent hole. Overall a really nice golf adventure, will play again soon.
Turn off the @#$%! sprinklers!
I felt very tempted to ask for a "raincheck" as I was rained on it seemed like four straight holes. By sprinklers. I was drenched, my hearing aids were almost ruined, my phone was almost ruined, and my scorecard became a soggy cornflake.
I really like this course. But yesterday was unfortunate, to say the least.
Love playing Llano.
Good shape. Good pace. The golf pro is very helpful and a great guy!
Great value as usual.
Worth the trip. Will keep going and playing. The hot deal times are a super deal and the regular times are still a good deal.
Course in great shape.
Staff there is doing their best to keep up with the river flooding and the brush growth. Fun place to play and great value
Great place and value.
A great place to experience and return. Holes along the water are great. Some signs of recent flooding with debris from the river. Like the stark differences from the front nine to the back nine.
Both are great. Will be back.
Shocking Greens, they're great.
The greens at this golf course are shockingly stellar.
A Little golf for every level
Great place. Front nine with elevation views and target play and back nine open with views along the river. Hole lengths give you different choices for clubs and play strategies. Great value.
Great little track along the Llano River
I've been thinking of making the 90 minute drive from dripping springs out to Llano for a while to play this course and wasn't really expecting much but it was a pretty cool track.
Front nine was really interesting (and a bit confusing) - with lots of trees in fairways that obstructed the greens (so not always sure where we should go when hitting shots). It was also pretty tight which added some nice challenge. Very pretty with great views of the river and even some decent (surprising) elevation changes. Hole 7 was beautiful with an elevated tee shot towards the river and 8 was another very cool Par 3 hole along the river.
The greens were in great shape and fairways were decent enough (with a number of dirt patches under big oaks).
Back nine was a flat, pretty wide open, back & forth layout with a few interesting holes, but a nice change up vs the front 9.
Price was awesome compared to courses we play in the Austin area and the drive up 71 thru the mountains was really cool and also made the 3 hour round trip more palatable. We'll be back!
