The course is pretty short but the layout is fun and fair. Leaning more on the easy side and I think it is perfect for being inside a retirement community. Course condition is excellent (green is a bit slower, but roll very well).

Delaware spring was close until 5/1/20 due to covid19 and upon reopen, they increased their rate by a big margin (trying to make up for their closing time?). The course is in decent condition, green is a bit rough and bumpy. The main issue I have with the course is the fact that they don't have any tee box markets nor do they have any pin in place (instead, they put a range ball next to the hole). Most of the sprinkler heads does not have any yardage info as well. It is very difficult to play when there are no yardage or way to use your range finder. Most other course in the area have both pins and tee box market during covid19 and simply asking golfers to leave the pin in the hole (which is more than reasonable). Due to this reason, I would not recommend anyone else to play this course.

It is not easy for me to write this review as I have given them a good review in the past and I was a regular playing this course. I used to play this course once or twice per week and have brought friends and setup tournament to this course. Most of their staffs are friendly except 1 major black sheep. This guy has 0 customer service skill or common human courtesy or social skill. I usually just ignore that and not let that bother me. I usually pay them their full retail rates, but every now and then I found their "hot deal" (since they are using golfnow.com app/website for their online booking). A couple months ago, I booked a golfnow hot deal and the black sheep employee happened to check me in.. at the time, they ran out of golf cart and I was about 30mins before my tee time, I asked if I walk instead of ride if they will let me go off early. His response was, "absolutely not and gave me a lecture that he is giving away hot deal tee time and therefore, I'm even lucky to be allowed to play their course, he continue to say how golfnow ripped them off.. etc etc.." The simple fact is, golfnow does help Bluebonnet with their web site and online booking along with selling tee times. Not to mention, 95% of my tee time plays at Bluebonnet hill was paying their retail's rate and only 5% is via hotdeal. The bottom line is, if they don't think Golfnow works with them, don't do business with them and built your own web site and online booking... etc etc.. It is that simple. The last thing they should do is to humiliate and degrade their regular customers. SInce that incident, I avoided going to play at Bluebonnet Hills, but decided NOT to write a bad review. Recently, I started going there again and haven't encountered this black sheep employee; unfortunately, when I booked a hot deal yesterday, this very same black sheep was there to check me in. I noticed the tee sheet was wide open.. but this time, I didn't even bother saying much. He said I'll be playing with Mr. X and sharing the cart with him. I simply asked if Mr. X has checked it yet.. and he started saying.. "no, but it doesn't matter because you golf now people cannot go off early and MUST go off at your exact time.." WOW.. that really have ruined my round before I even tee off. It is completely uncalled for. I later met Mr X and he told me the black sheep was giving him a hard time being a golf now customer as well. I don't understand how the management of this golf course will allow this type of behavior. Sadly with this encounter, I don't think I'll recommend nor return to this course until this guy is gone.

Had a bad experience a few months ago.. and gave it another try after my son play a STPGA event there. This time around, the course is in much better shape.. . especially the greens. The marshals were every friendly and helpful. Glad I gave it another try.

Extremely friendly staffs (from GM, Pro shop staffs to restaurant staffs and cart girl). They pay close attention to details for a great value course, they even provide cold towel during the summer.. customer's appreciation event with free golf cap and free burgers!!
This is your neighborhood friendly golf course that serve the Austin communities very well. They could have charge more for what they provided, but instead, they are providing the best values in the area.
Course lay out is well designed and the greens are always in excellent shape. The greens are very consistence and roll very well and it can easily compare the same level of greens among the best private golf courses in the area. Good practice areas and best viewed driving range in Austin (looking at the lake). The lay out of the course are interesting as well and give you good opportunity to score well. This is definitely a "feel good" kind of golf course even if you have a bad day. Keep up the great works!!

I went there during a rainy cold day (40's). When arriving there were only about 10 cars in the parking lot. I checked in at the Pro shop and ask if the course is "wide open" and the staff said "no.. there are a handful of groups out there.." (that would be wide open in my opinion).. He did not give me any range ball's code as he said my tee time will be in 10mins and I won't have time to hit range ball.. I asked if there were others going off immediately after my tee time and if I could move my tee time for 10-15 mins? The staff seems annoyed and said "well.. let me check.. and he said, I'll move to to 20 mins later.. " When tee off.. there were nobody on the course.. I finished my round in 2 hours and only encountered 2 groups that let me played through. Anyway.. the green on this course are in horrible shape.. weeds growing everywhere that you can't even tell where the edge of the greens are.. there are patches of weeds growing in the middle of the green.. basically there is not a way to putt a straight line in most of the green. Some how they still think they can charge a premium $84 for weekend tee time!! This type of course (assuming the green is decent) should worth ~$40 weekend rate, just like Kizer. Very sad that the city of Austin spent the resident's money and keep this a "country club" course but decide not to maintain it.

Very reasonable price and they kept the green in top notch shape... same condition as some of the finest country club course in the area. Staffs are very friendly and accommodating. This is also a "feel good" course as it produce good opportunity to score.

The course is decent condition, but the staffs are some of the worst city employees you can find. Sadly, there isn't much you can do about with their job security. The assistance manager thinks he is above everyone and can do and talk to any customer anyway he likes it.

They were hosting a junior PGA tournament event for kids 8-14 year old. I was caddying for my son. On the 4th hole we played, right before a kid was about to swing.. the marshall called out "you need to pick up the pace as you are on pace for a 6 hours round of golf". I think that comment is uncalled for. We were about 10 mins behind pace, but a simple "please pick up pace" should do the job. After our round, I went to the Pro shop and told them about the rude comment and the Pro shop assistance simply said "I stand by my marshall and doubt he said what you claim he said.. " We have 3 parents witness that and this is EXCELLENT customer service from the Pro shop guy to call me a liar. His attitude was "why are you here playing at our course?" My suggestion to Avery Ranch is, Don't host any event and make your course private. Take some customer service/ hospitality training. There are so many good golf course in the Austin area, this is definitely NOT one of them.
