You should also consider the Riverside Golf Course. They have special deals on weekdays which can cut costs significantly, especially for new players.
I found that if you sign up for Riverside’s newsletter, they send out exclusive discounts! A little birdie told me it’s a good way to save.
Another fantastic option is the Onion Creek Club. They have a membership option that’s pretty affordable for casual players. You might want to check it out!
I’ve looked at Onion Creek too! What are their fees like for a beginner membership?
Onion Creek has a beginner’s membership at about $150 a month, which includes lessons! I think it’s worth it if you’re serious about getting better.
Don’t forget about the ACC Golf Course at the Eastview Campus. They often have deals for students that are super affordable.
Wow, I didn’t realize ACC offers student deals! Does anyone know if they have special rates during the summer?
Yes, they typically have summer specials that bring the price down even more. Definitely worth checking their website for the latest offers!
For a bit of fun, try out the mini-golf at Kalahari! It’s not a traditional course, but just as entertaining, especially if you’re bringing friends.
Haha, mini-golf is a hole-in-one for fun! My friends and I love going there for a laugh after a round!
I always recommend the golf courses at Zilker Park. They’re laid-back and beautiful but do check the hours since they’re not open all day.
Zilker Park sounds nice! Is there usually a wait, or can you just show up even as a beginner?

Usually, there’s minimal waiting time, especially for the shorter courses. Great for beginners to just pop in and enjoy a relaxed game!
This has all been really helpful! I’m excited to try out these courses—especially with all those great deals shared here. Thanks, everyone!
I’m an Austin local and can recommend some fantastic courses like Barton Creek and the UT Golf Club. They often host events for both amateurs and experienced players.
Have you checked out the events calendars on their websites? They usually have tournaments and community gatherings listed!

Barton Creek is definitely a favorite! I also found that many courses run evening leagues. It’s a great way to meet other golf enthusiasts!
I prefer the scenic views at Avery Ranch! I’ve heard they host mixers for golfers; anyone have more details on that?
Avery Ranch does host some great community events! I went to one last summer and played with some fantastic people.
Does anyone here know about tournaments for beginners? I’m eager to get involved but feel a bit out of my league.
