Favorite golf courses in Austin?

excluding the private clubs, focusing on public:

falconhead - out towards lake travis, very long. $75-150 depending on day

lions municipal - $30-50. older course, can be a long round but somewhat historic in the local golf scene

bluebonnet hill - $40 very well kept. some of the best greens. they dont allow coolers which is bullshite. if you are reading this
. but they do allow you to purchase beer for a marginal fee.

roy kiser/jimmy clay - kiser is more the links course. clay has some elevation and is a little more unique. $20-30

mo williams isnt great. $30

riverside worst condition, but cooler friendly. have played in large groups and gotten very drunk $40

colovista/pine forest. out a ways towards bastrop (east). also wolfdancer but $$$$$. very cool scenary, but not the best shape. pine trees/ large elevation changes.

the round rock courses (avery ranch, terravista, forest creek etc) are ok, but arent really memorable in any way

south austin - grey rock, onion creek and plum creek. see description of round rock courses


moral of the story: lots of muny golf can be had for reasonable prices. really cant go wrong

Amazing to me they redid the course, only for the greens to still absolutely blow for 80% of the year.


Lions is definitely cool historically. Really just depends on what type of course you want to play. Avery Ranch was in good condition last time I played there, but the holes aren't very memorable IMO.

Good call. They host lots of amateur tournaments. Very challenging course. Lots of elevation changes. Only course I have ever played without a single bunker.
