Avery Ranch Golf Club

Avery Ranch Golf Club sits in the northwest Austin suburbs, part of a master-planned residential community that developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Andy Raugust designed the course, which opened in 2001 and serves both residents and public daily-fee play. The layout occupies rolling Hill Country terrain typical of the region, with elevation changes, native grasses, and scattered live oak trees shaping the playing corridors. The routing makes use of the property's natural contours, with several holes playing uphill or downhill and approach shots often requiring attention to multi-tiered greens. Water comes into play on a handful of holes, and strategically placed bunkers define landing areas and green complexes. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees but offers multiple sets of forward tees to accommodate different skill levels. Avery Ranch functions as a neighborhood amenity and accessible public facility, drawing golfers from the greater Austin area. The clubhouse provides standard dining and event space, and the practice facilities include a driving range and short-game area. The course fits within the broader context of Austin's golf market, which expanded significantly during the region's population growth in the 1990s and 2000s, offering a Hill Country golf experience without requiring a drive to more remote locations west of the city.
