Built by coaches who play the same courses you do.
Coach by ATX comes out of the studio on Wild Basin Rd S, Austin, TX 78746 — for Muny regulars, Grey Rock scramble crews, Barton Creek members, and every Austin golfer who wants to know why they keep losing the same three shots.
The studio
There's a real room behind this app.
Coach by ATX was written in a coaching studio off Wild Basin Road, between lessons. The questions the app asks you after a round are the same ones our coaches ask across the hitting bay — because that's where they were written down.

Twelve tracks we know by heart
From Muny to the Match Play track.
Coach by ATX pulls the hole-by-hole layout for any course in the 40,000-course database. These twelve are the ones our coaches play every week — and what they actually take from you.
Municipal
West Austin
Lions Municipal Golf Course
Flat, walkable, and short enough that your driver is a decision rather than a default. The greens are small and sit slightly above grade, so a pushed approach kicks away from the hole rather than feeding to it — most rounds here are lost to short-siding, not to length.
Municipal
East Austin
Morris Williams Golf Course
The tightest tee-to-green test inside the loop. Mature pecans and oaks squeeze the corridors, and the doglegs punish a shot shape you can't control. If your miss is two-way, Muny hides it and Morris Williams finds it.
Public
Southwest Austin
Grey Rock Golf Club
Hill Country elevation means your yardage and your carry are two different numbers all day. Uphill approaches play a club longer than the book, downhill par 3s ride the wind, and the greens sit on rock ledges that reject anything landing short.
Municipal
South Austin
Roy Kizer Golf Course
Wide off the tee, then all the trouble is around the greens — water, native grass, and a lot of exposed wind. It's the best local track for finding out whether your wedge distances are real or theoretical.
Municipal
South Austin
Jimmy Clay Golf Course
The honest one. Big greens, few tricks, and a par that has to be earned with approach play rather than recovery. Shares the Roy Kizer clubhouse, so most locals play the pair back to back.
Municipal
South Central
Butler Pitch & Putt
Nine holes under the downtown skyline, all wedge. Not a scoring round — a controlled test of distance from 40 to 90 yards, which is exactly the range most Austin golfers can't measure anywhere else.
Public
Bee Cave
Falconhead Golf Club
Wide Hill Country fairways with severe greens and false fronts. Good drives get rewarded here more than anywhere in town, which means it flatters a driver problem you'd pay for at Morris Williams.
Public
Northwest Austin
Avery Ranch Golf Club
Water in play on more than half the holes and a set of forced carries that make you commit. A round here tells you fast whether your under-pressure club selection matches your comfortable club selection.
Private
Lakeway
Yaupon at Clubs of Lakeway
A tight, mature Lakeway layout with elevation change on nearly every tee shot. Short by the card, long by the second shot, and the greens run away toward Lake Travis more often than they look like they should.
Private
West Austin
Austin Country Club
The Pete Dye course on the Colorado River that hosted the WGC Dell Match Play. Wind off the water, severe green complexes, and the 13th under the Pennybacker Bridge. Nothing about it is generous.
Private
Steiner Ranch
UT Golf Club
Firm, fast, and exposed out in Steiner Ranch. The fairway contours push shots toward the edges, so a drive that finishes middle here is a genuinely good one — not a default.
Resort
Southwest Austin
Barton Creek — Fazio Foothills
Waterfalls, cliffs, and a hundred feet of elevation change fifteen minutes from downtown. Every approach is either uphill or downhill; almost none is flat. Your stock yardage is nearly useless without adjustment.

The Combine
Five buckets. One honest scorecard for your game.
Every golfer who walks into ATX Golf Performance gets scored across the same five buckets before a single swing change is discussed. Coach by ATX runs that same evaluation on the rounds you're already playing — no studio visit required to see where you stand.
Driving
Distance + fairways found
Not just how far. How often the tee shot leaves you a shot you can actually play from.
Approach
Proximity by distance band
Where the ball finishes from 50, 100, 150, 200 — and which band is quietly costing you the most.
Wedges
Control inside 100
The scoring clubs. Gaps, spin, and the half-shot you never practise but hit every round.
Short game
Up-and-down conversion
Chips, pitches, bunkers. How often a missed green actually turns into a dropped shot.
Putting
Make rate + lag control
First-putt proximity, three-putt frequency by distance, and the band where lag breaks down.
Your weekly Root Cause session turns the weakest bucket into a clear process goal. When that bucket is no longer the limiter, the next one becomes the target.
Austin teaching lineage
One thought at a time.
Austin has been a teaching town since long before launch monitors. Harvey Penick spent most of a century at Austin Country Club, and the method he left behind was almost aggressively simple: give a golfer one thought, let them own it, and don't hand them the second one until the first is theirs.
He kept his observations in a red notebook rather than a system, and he refused to teach a swing model — he taught the player in front of him. Take dead aim. Play with people who are better than you. Practice the shot you're afraid of.
Coach by ATX is that idea, running on your own data. Every round ends with one process goal — not a report card, not nine things to fix. The Strokes Gained engine decides which single thought is worth the most shots to you right now, and that's the only one it gives you before your next tee time.
