AVERY RANCH GOLF CLUB has established itself as the premier daily-fee golf course in the Austin area. This 226 acre, 7121 yard, 18-hole championship public course has tee placements that will challenge the low-handicapper while creating an enjoyable golfing experience for all levels of players.

Avery Ranch is Texas Hill Country Golf at its finest! Conveniently located in northwest Austin and in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, former Jack Nicklaus designer, Andy Raugust, blended a spectacular up-scale golf course with natural limestone caverns, knobby live-oak trees, rolling hills, and meandering streams and lakes to create an Austin golf experience that is unparalleled in the area.  The course features a beautiful, but challenging front 9 followed by a fantastic risk/reward back 9 with 3 par 3's, 3 par 4's and 3 par 5's.  Running along Lake Avery, the 18th is Austin's best finishing hole and provides a unique view of the Texas Hill Country.

Avery Ranch Golf Club is an award-winning Austin golf course, having been voted "Best Overall Golf Course" by Avid Golfer Magazine, as well as rated with 4 1/2 Stars and  "Best Places to Play" by Golf Digest.

CANYON SPRINGS GOLF CLUB
The 7,077-yard layout was designed by Thomas Walker. Don't worry if you've never heard of him; if this place reaches its potential, you'll surely be seeing more of his name in the future.

Canyon Springs is set in a scenic oak forest covering a series of hills. The isolated routing makes you feel as if you're on top of a private mountain, as no two fairways run parallel. Some might expect a tricked-up course with wild elevation swings and long forced carries. Instead, the design blends in with its environment instead of taking advantage of it.

There were some heated discussions during construction on whether or not to leave some strategically placed trees, and in the end, the correct decisions were made. The result is a thinking person's layout where placement off the tee is critical and the huge greens can make for wildly different pin positions. One of the most scenic courses in San Antonio, this stop will surely please all!

Speaking of roller coasters, the seventh hole provides one of the most remarkable scenes in all of golf. The tee shot on this 316-yard par four drops 80 feet down to the fairway, set in the bottom of an old limestone quarry. However, your eyes seem glued to what sits to the left of the hole: The Fiesta Texas Amusement Park, complete with "The Rattler," a huge wooden roller coaster directly on the other side of a fence from the green. Every 40 seconds or so, your concentration is interrupted by the shrieks of yet another group of thrill seekers as they cascade down the coaster's initial drop.

In addition to the championship 18-hole Resort Course at La Cantera, the resort's other championship course is the Palmer Course at La Cantera, designed by golfing legend Arnold Palmer. The resort’s acclaimed Golf Academy features state-of-the-art equipment, a talented staff, and specially designed corporate and group programs. Play either or both with our Texas 2 Step itinerary!
