Where to Golf on the Cheap in Austin

Did you know the city has six public golf courses you can use? And the rates aren’t bad, either. Here’s the scoop:

How To Make Reservations

Online tee times for Monday through Thursday open at 9 a.m. a week in advance and on the Monday before at 8 p.m. for Saturdays and Sundays. Monday through Friday tee time reservations can be made in person when a course’s pro shop opens and 30 minutes before the first tee time by calling the course you’re interested in.

Two exceptions to this reservation system are the Hancock Golf Course and Grey Rock Golf Club. Hancock operates on a first-come first-served basis. The course has a pay station that golfers must use to pay a green fee before playing.

At Grey Rock, golfers can make reservations online, just not through the city’s reservation system.
