If you are an avid golfer, you typically enjoy playing a variety of courses in various cities as you travel. However, most avid golfers know the importance of having one course that feels like home. There are many benefits to having a golf club membership to your favorite local place.
While considering golf club memberships near me, I was fortunate to stumble upon one of Austin’s best golf courses, Avery Ranch Golf Club. The Avery Ranch course is one of the finest in Central Texas. Its pristine grounds were designed by Andy Raugust, who is a former Jack Nicklaus architect. There are five separate tee placements to ensure that golfers of all levels will enjoy the round while still being challenged.
Avery Ranch Course Overview
The course starts off with a pretty challenging front nine. The highlight of the front nine is a signature number seven hole that is absolutely stunning and has been honored as one of the most picturesque holes in all of Austin. From there, players move on to a truly exciting back nine holes. These are a combination of three par 5s, three par 4s, and three par 3s. Most players attempt to execute a risk/reward strategy when playing the back nine. The 18th hole has been named “the best finishing hole in all of Austin.” The hole is bordered by gorgeous Avery Lake and offers an exquisite view of the sprawling Texas Hill Country. The course’s proximity to the lake offers cool breezes that are very welcome on a warm Austin day. It is an exceptional end to any round of golf.
The greens are double-cut each day by the dedicated grounds staff, ensuring that the course has the most consistently smooth putting greens in all of Central Texas. Perhaps one of the best things about the course is the gorgeous scenery. The course truly encapsulates all the beauty and unique scenery that Central Texas has to offer. The course is comprised of rolling hills and gives a true Austin experience. The treeline is made up of gorgeous live oak trees and the course itself boasts weaving streams and gorgeous ponds throughout.
